MMD by Foose 2015 Mustang GT Debuts with 810+ Horsepowers

MODERN MUSCLE DESIGN AND CHIP FOOSE DEBUT 800+ HORSEPOWER MUSTANG IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

MMD by Foose 2015 Mustang to be Personally Given Away by Chip Foose at AmericanMuscle’s 2015 Mustang Show this Summer.

MALVERN, Pa. (May 20, 2015) – Modern Muscle Design (MMD), the leader in aftermarket Mustang styling, along with the renowned vehicle designer, Chip Foose, today unveiled a one-off 810-horsepower supercharged MMD by Foose 2015 Mustang GT at Foose Design Inc. headquarters in Huntington Beach, California.

Today’s reveal comes ahead of the annual AmericanMuscle Mustang Show in Pennsylvania where the custom-built Mustang will be given away. The 2015 AmericanMuscle Mustang Show is the 7th annual charity all-Mustang car show in which 10,000+ spectators and nearly 3,000 Mustangs gather to benefit this year’s charity, Make-A-Wish®.

At the heart of MMD by Foose is a 5.0 liter V8 engine producing more than 810 horsepower at the crank courtesy of a specially tuned version of Bama Performance’s 2.9-liter twin scroll Whipple supercharger. After being routed through the transmission, a custom carbon fiber driveshaft and upgraded axles from The Driveshaft Shop, 650 horsepower reaches the custom 20” Foose Design wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires. Additional performance enhancements include a Magnaflow Competition Cat-back exhaust system built to optimize exhaust flow and performance for the MMD by Foose 2015 Mustang, as well as Vogtland Sport Suspension; assuring the perfect stance and handling to cope with the car’s increased acceleration.

Starting first as a simple sketch months prior, Foose incorporated his signature design aesthetic into every aspect of the Mustang, complementing the car’s high performance and bringing eight new MMD by Foose components to life which will be available as stand-alone parts to order later this year. Using an advanced system of sculpting and prototyping, MMD and Foose developed the new parts to become seamless additions to the Mustang’s factory design. Each new part was further refined to ensure world-class OE-spec fitments and customer satisfaction when they go on sale in the fall, sold exclusively through www.AmericanMuscle.com.

“We are very excited to work together with MMD and legendary designer Chip Foose to debut the MMD by Foose Mustang to the world,” said Justin Dugan of AmericanMuscle. “We are thrilled to be able to offer fans a chance to win such a unique Mustang at our car show this summer.”

The new MMD by Foose products installed on this 2015 Mustang GT include:

• MMD by Foose Chin Spoiler: A sleek chin-spoiler that takes cues from the factory design and adds a cleaner, lower appearance to the front bumper.

• MMD by Foose Hood Scoop: The dual ram-air styled hood scoop fills out the factory hood’s center channel and continues the sharp crease marking the center of the vehicle, adding an aggressive look to the front end of the car.

• MMD by Foose Rocker Panels: The MMD by Foose rocker panels elegantly match the side profile of the vehicle when combined with the MMD by Foose chin spoiler, providing the whole vehicle with a lower overall look.

• MMD by Foose Side Scoops: The MMD by Foose side scoops accent the vehicle’s factory body lines and draw inspiration from the performance pony cars of the 1960s and 70s. Working in conjunction with the MMD by Foose ¼ window louvers and hood scoop, these accessories add a unique look to the car that underscores its raw 810-horsepower performance.

• MMD by Foose Quarter Window Louvers: Following the seam of the factory quarter window and adding just enough depth to nod at a retro/scooped design, MMD by Foose Quarter Window Louvers look as though they could have been added at the factory. In keeping the theme of all of the MMD by Foose parts, the subtle creases in the window louvers perfectly compliment the creases found in the hood scoop, side scoops, etc.

• MMD by Foose Rear Spoiler: Playing off of the factory roof lines, license plate surround and lower bumper, this rear spoiler looks sleek and elegant enough to be original equipment, yet aggressive enough to turn heads.

“I am so excited about the parts that MMD and I have been working on for the 2015 Mustang. They really enhance the factory styling while keeping that classic Mustang look,” said Chip Foose. “We started by looking at the factory design language of the car itself and I really wanted to translate that into all of the parts that I designed. I didn't want them to look like an afterthought or obviously an aftermarket part, but something you could get right from the factory.”

Starting today and through August 3, 2015, fans can enter online up to once a week to win the MMD by Foose. AmericanMuscle will fly the winner to its 2015 Mustang Show in Mohnton, PA. Chip Foose will be on-hand to deliver the keys to the lucky winner on August 15. The show benefits the Make-a-Wish® Foundation and is expected to draw more than 10,000 spectators and more than 2,500 Mustangs. Must be 18 or older to enter and a resident of the United States.

Did I read that right? 650rwhp? So they're figuring 20% drivetrain loss in there. Wheels are awesome.

Love It!

That's probably a low guess too. 20% drivetrain loss would be the high end.

Just seems like they're throwing out a number to seem better than the Hennessy without actually making more power. They both use the 2.9L Whipple I think.

15% is the "typical" number used. The GT is dynoing at 15% or better (15% of 435 leave the rwhp at 370; some are seeing 380-390 though which would only be 10-12% or so)

If its 810 at the flywheel then 650 at the wheels is ultra conservative. My guess is more 700 at the wheels.

The logos by the 5.0 make it look cheap... The hot wheels version

I don't like the scoop by the doors and windows.

I would drive it around for a couple of hours though. lol

I generally like what Foose does. But none of the parts here scream "Take my money".

that's how mustangs were, with door scoop.
Chip will you do my EB? DAMN that's nice.

810hp?! good lord. Foose always does a great job, although this one I believe would look better with flat black ground effects instead of the painted ones. That's my favorite spoiler hands down, still looking for one without the "notch" in the middle though

Not digging the fake scoops.

Like the spoiler and rocker panels.

Love the wheels.

Not a fan of the hood or side scoops.

Regarding power, I'm sure they dyno'ed at the wheels and are reporting calculated crank HP based on some anticipated drivetrain loss. If it really is making 650 at the wheels, it seems like a crank HP rating of 810 is being a little generous.

I like a Foose wheel for a change.

This car looks a lot better than what Foose had at SEMA last year.
I do not like the scoops. I do not like the side windows in the current
2015. I LIKE THE B PILLAR and SIDE LOOK OF THE 2014 BETTER.
