Ford Mustang GT500 Engine Blows Up

December 7, 2010 | CATEGORIES: Car Crash,Ford

Ok, now these tuners are crazy! They were literally able to blow up this supercharged Ford Mustang GT500 that is said to put down 800rwhp. From the video it looks like they attempted it twice, but after I checked it was only a second camera angle. The second shot looks far worse with all the smoke spewing from the engine and exhaust, but the initial test was something I didn’t expect. It sounds like the driver forgot what the redline means, because the Mustang was definitely revving at a high rpm, which sent it bursting into flames. Either that, or a poor engineering job from the tuning company who handled this project.

From Ford you will find the Custom Accessories line delivering a completely new body kit made up of front and rear bumpers, integrated diffuser, side skirts, and roof spoiler. They also added Caribbean Blue accents to several body parts, including the headlamps, mirrors, wheels, and doors. Inside the Focus is a black and white color theme on the leather seats, steering wheel, and center console, while bespoke scuff plates and aqua lighting complete the interior.
