Shooting for the stars.

The Ford Mustang is one of the most well-known muscle cars of all time. Its performance and style have made it sought-after for decades. For the past few years, Ford has been donating special one-off models for auction to Experimental Aircraft Association youth education programs, the Young Eagles, and other youth aviation programs, totaling almost $3 million. Their newest charity model is the Apollo Edition Ford Mustang with supercharged engine, custom wheels, and special graphics that pay homage to the Apollo program.

“The Apollo program delivered astonishing innovations in technology and achieved a national goal of landing the first human on the moon,” said Edsel B. Ford II, a member of the Ford board of directors. “The entire program was extraordinary – one of our nation’s greatest technological achievements. With this year’s stunning Apollo Edition Mustang, we salute that spirit of American ingenuity with the quintessential American automobile – Ford Mustang.”

Spinning the new custom wheels on the Apollo Edition Ford Mustang is a supercharged version of the 5.0-liter V-8 engine. A new Ford Performance supercharger and shifter were installed along with a new X-pipe exhaust with side and rear outlets. In total, the monster creates a whopping 627 horsepower and 540 lb-ft. of torque.

And there’s even more performance for the Apollo Edition Ford Mustang as well from the custom wheels to the brakes. A new set of multi-colored Forgiato rims measuring 21 inches in diameter were installed with high performance tires. A full sport-tuned suspension and big six-piston Brembo brakes were also fitted to make sure the car could stop and handle with ease.

Visually, the Apollo Edition Ford Mustang draws inspiration from NASA and the Apollo program. New one-off gloss pure white paint and pure black create a special rocket-like livery and matches the new custom wheels. Various USA and NASA decals adorn the exterior while a carbon fiber front splitter, rear diffuser and side skirts with LED underbody lighting finishes the exterior.
