Ford Mustang Racing

The S197 Mustang has been campaigned by Ford Racing for many different racing classes, with a heavy focus on road racing series. Currently, Ford Racing offers five different turnkey variants of their Ford Racing 500 (FR500) Mustang -- the FR500C, FR500C/GT4, FR500GT, FR500GT3 and FR500S, all of which are homologated for a specific road racing series.

FR500C - The FR500 series racing Mustang, the FR500C is better known by its internal nickname, "Boy Racer", given during its development. The FR500C debuted in the 2005 season of the Grand-Am KONI Challenge Series (GS Class), in direct competition with such vehicles as the BMW M3, Porsche 911 and Nissan 350Z. the FR500C proved to be immensely successful, emerging victorious in the driver, team and manufacturer championships. The FR500C utilizes a purpose-built "Cammer R50" all-aluminum racing engine mated to a Tremec T-56 six-speed manual transmission, producing approximately 415 brake horsepower. The FR500C is available for purchase as a turnkey racing car for $129,000.

FR500C/GT4 - A version of the FR500C homologated for use in the FIA GT4 European Cup, competing with vehicles such as the Aston Martin V8 Vantage N24, Porsche Cayman and Lotus Sport Exige. Modifications -- which cost $14,500 over the base cost of the $129,000 FR500C -- to the standard FR500C to allow specific use in the GT4 series is handled by Toronto-based Multimatic Motorsports.

FR500GT - Known during its development as "Man Racer", the FR500GT is a new Ford Racing Mustang built to compete in the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series (GT Class). Visually different from the standard FR500C with more aggressive Shelby GT500-style carbon fiber body cladding and improved aerodynamic aids, it also utilizes a more powerful engine: a Roush-Yates-built Cammer R50 engine producing approximately 550 horsepower. Pricing for the FR500GT comes in at $250,000.

FR500GT3 - A version of the FR500GT modified for specific use in the FIA GT3 European Championship. As with the FR500C/GT4, homologation requirements are met through Multimatic Motorsports. Competition for the FR500GT3 comes from such vehicles as the Chevrolet Corvette ZO6-R, Lamborghini Gallardo GT3, and Ferrari F430 GT3.

FR500S - The newest version of the FR500 series, the FR500S was unveiled at SEMA 2007. Of all the racing versions, the FR500S most resembles the production vehicle, being powered by a mostly stock Modular 4.6-liter engine. This version is set to be the sole vehicle of choice for the upcoming single-make Ford Racing Mustang Challenge for the Miller Cup, a joint venture between Ford Racing and Miller Motorsports Park. It is the most inexpensive FR500 series Mustang -- a turnkey FR500S costs about $75,000.
