With 1,2000hp for hill-climbing and oversized tires – this is a Mustang with a difference.
In fact, as well as combining off-road prowess with muscle-car power, it also has a different name.
Introducing: the ‘MUDstang’.

The modified Mustang aesthetic
This is an unconventional and extreme performance modification made by Unseen Builds.
Both rugged and powerful – it’s the best of the off-roading and muscle-car worlds.
Its off-roading tires appear comically oversized, extending beyond the stock fenders via extended axles.
The jarring thing – and a deliberate design choice by its creator – is that, despite its monster tires, its low-slung height remains unaltered.
Retaining the original chassis and body over the chassis of a truck is what truly sets the MUDstang apart.
It preserves the Mustang’s classic lines while its character is distinctly changed.
On that note, the Ford Mustang Mach-E has broken the world record for the longest EV journey completed on a single charge.
The car traveled 916.74km (569.64 miles) on a single charge.
It smashed the previous record of 907.62km (563.97 miles) set in Hangzhou, China.
Under the hood
With its original gen 2 Coyote 5.0-liter V8 engine still intact, the MUDstang features performance-enhancing twin 67mm turbos.
It’s this modification that gives the horsepower and hill-climbing giddy up, boosting it to 1,200.
It’s possible that the switch-up also increases low-end torque, which is just what you need for muddy off-roading adventures.
To demonstrate its unique abilities and the journey it’s been on, its owner pitted it against a regular Mustang GT in a must-see.
Predictably, the muddy hill climb saw the MUDstang outperform its off-the-production-line counterpart.
In similar news, the 1977 Lamborghini Cheetah was an off-road dream car that almost came true until it faced several legal and design issues.
This man, similarly, constructed his own off-road Cybertruck from scratch.
