A LUXURY hand-built muscle car, Equus Bass 770, can take you from 0-60mph in 3.4 seconds and reach a maximum speed of up to 200mph. The impressive car, built to order, blends styling elements from the classic American muscle with modern-day technology and engineering and comes as one of the most expensive muscle cars currently sold, costing anywhere from $230,000. The Equus Bass 770 combines elements of the iconic Fastback Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger.

He told R.Rides: “I wouldn't compare this car to any other classic cars because it's a car of its own. It has unique looks. It has a unique brand. It's a timeless masterpiece, and cannot be compared to any other cars. When I look at this car, I always have three words come into my mind; timeless, elegant, and classic.”

2025 Ford Mustang GTD 815 HP/Engine Sound vs Porsche 911 GT3 RS

The Mustang GTD is on its way to demolish the 911 GT3 RS The all-new 2025 Mustang GTD is the fastest and most powerful production Mustang in history. This limited edition, street-legal sports car is designed to compete with the world's best sports cars, thanks to a combination of racing technology and a carbon fiber body. Under the hood, the 5.2-liter supercharged V8 produces 815 horsepower (826 hp) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. That’s more horsepower per liter than the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Now that its power figures have been unveiled, the GTD has the GT3 RS beat in pure power output and power density. The 815-horsepower V8 Mustang GTD produces 156 hp/liter, while the 4.0-liter six-cylinder engine of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS produces 129.5 hp/liter. The real decisive factor in the competition with the GT3 RS will be Ford's attempt to drive a lap at the Nurburgring in less than 7 minutes. The GT3 RS has already set the official lap time with a time of 6 minutes and 49 seconds. It is interesting whether the new Mustang GTD will be able to complete a lap faster than the Porsche, it is not yet known. The supercharged 5.2-litre V8 improves on previous Mustang engines, benefiting from Mustang’s first-ever dry-sump oil system that can help keep the engine lubricated through sustained and demanding cornering. That dry-sump oil system also enables a slightly elevated maximum engine speed of 7,650 rpm, up 100 rpm from the previous 5.2-litre V8 engine. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels through a unique eight-speed dual-clutch transmission located in the rear suspension unit to ensure near-perfect weight distribution. Beyond the power needed to achieve its 202 mph (325 km/h) top speed, Mustang GTD also features a Drag Reduction System that can change the angle of the rear wing and activate flaps under the front of the car to find exactly the right balance between airflow for speed and downforce for grip, depending on performance conditions. The grip and cornering stability for the Mustang GTD is provided by 325 millimeter wide front tires - while the rear tires are 345 millimeters wide, mounted on 20-inch forged aluminum wheels or available forged magnesium wheels. The interior has a 12.4-inch digital instrument panel integrated with a 13.2-inch multimedia system display - new graphics and additional information display modes have been added. There are Recaro seats, a new steering wheel with buttons for adjusting the suspension stiffness and exhaust mode. The center console has keys for activating the extreme Track mode. Track Mode reduces ground clearance by 40 mm for improved aerodynamics and handling at the touch of a button. A powerful engine, advanced active aerodynamics, carbon-ceramic brakes and an internal rear suspension with semi-active dampers are the key elements of the fastest and most powerful production Mustang in history. Production of the Mustang GTD will be limited, and the price is expected to start at around $325,000. Mail : [email protected] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nfsmotorsport
