The Tiger Racing Mustang GT is loosely based on the 2003 Ford Mustang. It is, however, a purpose built road racing car with a number of significant design features that make it unlike any other Mustang in the world.

It incorporates a unique paddle shift gear box clutch system developed especially for this car by Ford Motor Company’s Advanced Powertrain Division. It allows high speed shifting controlled by two simple, thumb switches located on the steering wheel. Brake and throttle controls developed by Tiger Racing for this car are also located on the steering wheel, as is the radio push-to-talk button.

The motor is a special, all alloy, 4-valve, 4.6 L, V8 that has been supercharged and intercooled in a joint development between Ford and Vortech Superchargers. Huge disc brakes and fully independent suspension at all four corners round out the package.
