Before the iconic F1 supercar, McLaren built a turbocharged Ford Mustang

The third-gen Mustang was available from dealerships with a choice of a 2.3-litre inline four, a 2.8-litre V6 and a 4.9-litre V8. There was also the option of a turbocharged version of the 2.3-litre ‘Lima’ inline-four, that was almost, but not quite, as powerful as the 4.9L V8, 97kW against 103kW.

Starting life as a regular Fox Body Mustang, Ford’s newly-minted SVO department added ludicrously wide IMSA-style wheel arches, a menacingly large bonnet bulge, period hot BBS alloys, larger brakes, adjustable Koni shock absorbers, and heavy-duty sway bars front and rear.
