Ford will have this camouflaged Mustang RTR on the show floor at the 2025 Detroit Auto Show.

Ford revealed its EcoBoost Mustang RTR, engineered in partnership with Vaughn Gittin Jr.’s Mustang tuning firm RTR, which stands for Ready to Rock. Designed to offer more power and performance than the stock model,

There’s a new, hot EcoBoost Mustang in town, and Ford chose to partner with Vaughn Gittin Jr’s RTR for the project.

Set to make its formal debut on Friday at the 2025 Detroit auto show, the new performance Mustang is based on the latest Mustang EcoBoost and will be built by Ford on the same line as the regular Mustang. RTR has its own series of tuned Mustangs that it builds at its own facilities.

As announced today, that package has been quickly replaced with the Mustang RTR EcoBoost model that apparently steals some goodies from the Dark Horse.

Here comes the 2025 Ford Mustang RTR with the EcoBoost engine, rear-wheel drive, and Electronic Drift Brake for some four-cylinder fun at the track

Based on the turbocharged four-cylinder EcoBoost Mustang, the RTR is being developed in cooperation with the tuning shop of the same name.

In partnership with RTR Vehicles, this upcoming Ford Mustang RTR is the second partnered performance variant aimed at providing a budget-friendly sports car.

The RTR is a more accessible, turbocharged track-focused option compared to the V8-powered Mustang Dark Horse.

Developed with racer Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s Mustang tuning firm RTR, the factory-tuned pony car is expected to offer more power and performance than the stock model.
