Velocity has introduced a restomod version of the Fox Body Mustang.
It boasts a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine producing 800 rwhp.
Currently a unique model, a production version will be available soon.
Velocity has showcased what they claim to be the “world’s first production restomod Fox Body Mustang” at the SEMA Show. They describe it as a “custom creation that redefines a generation’s performance icon through exceptional engineering, design, and craftsmanship.”
Looking undeniably formidable, the 1991 Mustang LX was entirely rebuilt and is based on a Roadster Shop SPEC chassis. It features a Jet Black exterior, a two-inch cowl hood, and Carter’s Customs side splitters.
It is complemented by 18-inch billet wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires, featuring a six-piston Baer braking system to maintain control.
The enhancements extend into the interior, which is “completely redesigned” yet still easily identifiable. Drivers will find themselves in front of a custom dashboard featuring Autometer and Dakota Digital gauges.
The restomod is also equipped with Recaro Expert M heated seats and a specially crafted Sparc steering wheel. Additionally, it includes an Alcantara headliner, a distinct center console, and unique door panels.
Other notable features consist of a Vintage Air climate control system and a Blaupunkt Frankfurt head unit combined with a Focal audio setup.
Power to Spare
Under the hood lies a Ford Performance 5.0-liter Coyote V8 fitted with a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger, allowing the car to generate 800 rwhp (597 kW / 811 PS).
The engine is paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission, transferring power to the rear wheels via a carbon fiber driveshaft. The model also features a 9-inch rear end and engine bay closeout panels.
While the company describes this vehicle as a “one-of-a-kind halo vehicle,” Velocity plans to incorporate it into their Signature Series lineup in 2026. It will join the 67-68 Mustang, classic Ford trucks, and the International Scout. Prices for these start around $200,000, but the cost for the Fox Body Mustang has not yet been disclosed.

GlasWerks DMV's new Elevato aims to deliver off-road excitement inspired by Ferrari's grand tourer for approximately $175,000, plus the cost of the donor vehicle.
The company claims to have developed the first-ever luxury V12 Italian off-road vehicle.
With a price starting at $175,000, excluding the donor car, it leans more towards a rally-style vehicle than a traditional crawler.
At the upcoming SEMA Show, GlasWerks DMV presents the Elevato, which the brand describes as the “world’s first luxury V12 Italian off-roader.”
Despite the five qualifiers in that description, and if you disregard the Ferrari Purosangue as a crossover, it seems they may be overlooking that Lamborghini accomplished this decades ago. We will revisit that assertion later.
The Elevato is fundamentally an enhanced version of the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso, and honestly, it looks impressive. GlasWerks DMV disassembled the original car and then rebuilt it with rally-grade components. It features billet aluminum suspension control arms, reinforced CV joints, and offers double the ground clearance of the base model.
The modifications allow for eight inches of wheel travel, and it includes an onboard air system for adjusting tire pressure on the go. About thirty percent of the parts shown here are new compared to the standard Ferrari it is based on.
Powering the Elevato is a 6.3-liter V12 engine tuned to produce approximately 750 horsepower, which is transmitted to all four wheels through the original Ferrari transmission. The company claims it can withstand endurance-style treatment.
Customers can also customize spring rates, unique exhaust modifications, rally lighting, roof racks, and full STEK paint protection film if desired. If GlasWerks had only claimed it to be the most extreme Dakar-style supercar, it would be difficult to dispute that.
However, that’s not the assertion made. Instead, it claims to be the “world’s first luxury V12 Italian off-roader.”
Lamborghini had already achieved this with the LM002 back in the 1980s, which accommodated four people, had much greater ground clearance, and boasted outrageous styling that even the current (German-owned) Lamborghini was hesitant to replicate with the Urus, along with a V12 engine from the Countach.
Ultimately, regardless of how we label it, this seems like a very exciting Ferrari Dakar-inspired variant. It starts at “around $175,000,” but considering GlasWerks’ record of ambiguous descriptions, we would request a concrete price if we were in the market.
And remember, the quoted price does not include the donor car.
SUV buyers might find it unexpected to witness another increase in prices even though the updates are hardly noticeable.
