Perched on a rooftop in Orlando, Florida, Mustang and car enthusiasts gathered for a fun night of music, food and to watch Vaughn Gittin Jr. and his team unveil the latest RTR creation, the 2024 Ford Mustang RTR Spec 2.
 
With the covers barely off the factory S650 Mustang, it was great to see the RTR with its impressive modifications that add aggressive styling and performance to the already potent Mustang.
 
Fans, media, Influencers and celebrities including Cleetus McFarland and fellow Fun-Haver drivers Chelsea DeNofa, Adam LZ and James Deane were on hand to pull the cover off this exciting Mustang.
 
Gittin Jr. said this exhilarating 2024 Mustang RTR Spec 2 builds upon the legacy of its predecessors. It combines cutting-edge design and performance enhancements to deliver a personalized and emotional driving experience that will allow you to define your own definition of performance. Gittin Jr. also stated the Spec 2 will be a fun car for drag racing, road racing, autocross and of course drifting. Retail for the package is $12,495 above the base price of the 2024 Mustang (specifications listed below)
 
The 2024 Mustang RTR Spec 2 is one of the first offerings in the aftermarket for the all-new 7th Generation Ford Mustang with aggressive design and aesthetic enhancements to convey an overall theme of ‘Movement Through Space’. Mustang RTR Spec 1 and Spec 2 will be available as soon as Mustangs hit dealerships Summer 2023.
 
“The new 2024 Ford Mustang is the most technologically advanced, progressively designed– and in my eyes–the most fun Mustang Ford has ever produced, giving our team at RTR the absolute perfect slate to create the Mustang RTR that is available to all, and not for everyone,” said Vaughn Gittin Jr., multiple-time motorsports champion, President and Founder of RTR Vehicles.
 
He continued, “More than any previous platform, this 7th gen Mustang lends itself to be ready for anything, at any time. From various drive modes, fully adjustable suspension, to the optional electronic Drift Brake, which we developed alongside Ford engineers, we’ve really been able to enhance it with the RTR flavor. This Mustang is the true definition of Ready to Rock!”
 
Since 2010, RTR has built some of the most iconic and inspiring vehicles that speak to a new generation of enthusiasts such as the Hoonicorn, the RTR-X and the Mach-E 1400. RTR Vehicles currently offers serialized vehicle packages based off existing Ford® vehicles such as Mustang®, Bronco®, Ranger®, F-150®, and Mach-E® to enhance driving characteristics, appearance, and performance. 
 
Every 2024 Mustang RTR gets a serialized dash plaque and is entered into the official RTR Vehicles registry.
 
Modern Aggressive Design:
Since its inception in 2010, Mustang RTR has captivated automotive enthusiasts worldwide with its signature modern aggressive styling–especially RTR’s distinctive grille design with integrated accent lighting. The 2024 Mustang RTR Spec 2 evolves this iconic feature with an all-new RTR Upper Grille design that pushes the boundaries of imagination. 
 
The unique grille design is pushed forward in space, accelerating airflow around it - with an open area that is dictated purely by the mechanical cooling needs of the car. The signature grille lights are multi-dimensional illuminated intake scoops with a direct purpose: feed cool air to the engine. 
 
“We treated the OEM sheet metal from Ford as drapery, with the RTR components pushing themselves outward through the Mustang’s volumes and inviting you into the experience,” explains Lindsay Ross, RTR Vehicles Lead Designer and Creative Director.
 
The hood vent pushes up through the surface with a design that promotes out-washing, while the lower aerodynamic pieces of front, side and rear splitters cut the airflow and manage it in balance with the rear duckbill spoiler. The front lower and side grilles tie the aesthetics together while working to increase the positive effects of the front splitter.
 
Customizable Performance:
The 2024 Mustang RTR Spec 2 offers unprecedented flexibility, as it can be built from any 2024 Mustang GT chassis. This ensures that each Mustang RTR Spec 2 is tailored to meet the unique preferences of its owner. 
 
RTR Tactical Performance Suspension:
Mustang RTR Spec 2 is equipped with RTR Tactical Performance Suspension components, including adjustable shocks/struts, lowering springs, and adjustable front/rear sway bars. 
 
RTR Tactical Performance Suspension allows the driver to fine-tune their vehicle's suspension dynamics to best suit their driving preference. From comfortable daily driving, to canyon carving, full blown drift or grip track days. The Mustang RTR Spec 2 offers an exceptional engineered driving experience on or off the track.
 
Pricing and Availability:
The highly anticipated 2024 Mustang RTR Spec 2 will be available starting at $12,495 (above base vehicle - see below for full list of components). Enthusiasts can experience the thrill of the new Mustang RTR Spec 1 and Spec 2 for themselves when it arrives at authorized dealerships in Summer 2023.
