Hang on very tight,  Ford South Africa has just announced that the new 2021 Roush Mustang which commemorates the 25th anniversary of Roush Performance Products will be available in South Africa through the Performance Centre in Pretoria in the second quarter of 2021. 

Since the first Roush Mustang which made its debut in 1996, Roush has continued to build on that heritage with proven performance upgrade packages that all hark back to the eponymous Jack Roush and this is the case with the 2021 Roush Mustang. 

With over 560kW, the 2021 Roush Mustang is said to come with upgrades that enhance the car’s character for road and track use. 

Each Roush Stage 3 starts life as a Mustang GT equipped with a Generation 3 Coyote V8 engine. The engine’s performance is significantly upgraded by the Roush TVS2650 supercharger which lifts the power to 560kW and 910Nm. The Roush Mustang is equipped with two auxiliary coolers mounted beneath the vehicle behind the driver and passenger, differential cooler and automatic transmission cooler, are designed to keep under-body temperatures stable. Power can also be increased to a whopping 578kW.

Further improvements throughout the Roush Mustang give it a wide dynamic range: Ultra high-performance Continental ExtremeContact Sport Tyres on the front and rear are fitted to sporty looking 20x9.5-inch Jet Black wheels or alternatively with Agate Gray forged wheels. Tauter body control and reduced body lean during cornering and braking is provided by the Roush-calibrated MagneRide® suspension. MagneRide® is an adaptive suspension with a magnetorheological damper system. It uses magnetically controlled dampers for highly adaptive ride comfort and delivers unparalleled performance on the road and on the track. 

Everything on the 2021 Roush Stage 3 is designed to demand your attention and the R9 aero kit, specifically designed for this car, takes charge in this regard. The bespoke kit which includes heat extracting hood vents, fender vents, high flow upper and lower grilles, functional aero corner pockets, rear aerofoils and a blacked-out rear decklid panel that sits above the quad black-tip performance exhaust. Aerodynamic functionality has been incorporated with the Roush chin spoiler which separates airflow above and beneath the Mustang, working to reduce overall aero drag.

Inside, a full set of Roush-inspired interior updates further exemplify this iconic look. Custom gauge cluster overlays, illuminated door sills and Roush toolkit are just some of these highlights, along with sports-leather seats featuring the Roush logo, Roush-embossed floor mats and Roush key fobs. Every new Roush Mustang carries a certificate of authenticity with a serial plaque on the dashboard.
