Default Frankfurt: Ford Mustang GT RTD With A 2.0-Liter Turbo (Bio)Diesel Engine!

Yes, we couldn’t believe it either when we saw this Mustang parked in a booth outside Hall 3.0 in Frankfurt. Is it possible, a race-ready Mustang equipped with an eco-friendly, 4cylinder, 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that runs on bio-diesel? Yes and it delivers 280 Hp and a maximum torque of 500 Nm or 368.8 lbs/ft. allowing the race car to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5,0 sec and to achieve a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

Want more?, well listen to this: according to the Four Motors (Reutlingen) that developed the BioConcept-Car, the Mustang GT RTD's outer skin is made of so-called bio-composites produced from vegetable raw materials! These body components, which were developed in cooperation with the German Aerospace Center, promise to withstand extreme loads and stresses in motor sports. Not bad at all!

Cool .. but I'm not so sure about holding up to the rigors of racing, just look at the hood near the front hood pins.

PS: It also looks like someone is going to be doing a lot of Yager bombs later.

Its great the direction they are going with, but one of the main reasons I got this car was the rumble and growl of the V*.

I think its funny how you guys always come down on rear wings. But in a lot of race classes they are mandated by the rule book. True race cars have wings like that. Its the ricers that make them undesireable.

Cool, A little bit of ranch dressing and you can eat the body. Wait I'll have some bio oil & vinegar instead.
