Engine And Performance
Supercharged 5.0L V8 Setup
You get a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 under the hood, and the setup looks purposeful. The supercharger badge and venting are functional, not just for show. Power flows through a six-speed manual, which keeps you involved at all times.
Power Output And Pull
This car makes 810 horsepower, and you feel it the moment you move. The torque comes on strong and early, so the car pulls without effort. It feels hard to stall, even at low speed, which shows how much torque it has.
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Engine | Supercharged 5.0L V8 |
| Horsepower | 810 hp |
| Transmission | 6-speed manual |
Six-Speed Manual Feel
The manual gearbox feels tight and precise as you move through the gates. Downshifts hit with authority, and the response feels direct. The shift knob has a slight squeak when your hand rubs on it, which you notice right away.
Exhaust Note And Character
The car uses an X-pipe, not a full exhaust swap. Even so, it sounds sharp and aggressive when you get on the throttle. The sound stays engaging without needing heavy changes to the system.
Exterior Features
Custom Finish With Color‑Changing Paint
You see a fully custom paint job that shifts color as light hits it. The finish stands out in motion and looks different from every angle. They even painted small details like the hinges to match.
Signature RTR Emblems And Graphics
You notice RTR logos placed around the body, including the front and rear. Decals sit along the sides and near the back, leading your eye toward the spoiler. The branding stays clean and easy to spot.
Enhanced Exterior Lighting
You get added lights built into the front grille. These lights boost the front-end look and help the car stand out at night. They blend into the design instead of looking tacked on.
Aero Parts: Splitter, Skirts, And Wing
You see an aggressive front splitter that gives the nose a lower look. Side skirts run along the body to match the stance. A rear spoiler finishes the profile and ties in with the rear decals.
Vents And Working Body Details
You can see functional venting on the exterior, including vents marked as supercharged. These openings serve a real purpose and are not just for looks. The car also sits lowered, which sharpens the fitment and stance.
Exterior Hardware Highlights
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Wheels | 20-inch wheels front and rear |
| Tires | 275/35 front, 295/35 rear |
| Brakes | Brembo brakes on both axles |

Wheels, Tires, And Brakes
Front And Rear Wheel Layout
You get a staggered wheel setup that puts more rubber in the back. The front runs 275/35R20, while the rear steps up to 295/35R20. This setup helps balance grip and keeps the car planted when you put power down.
Tire Details
The tire sizes match the wheel setup and fill the arches well. You can see how the wider rear tires support the car’s strong acceleration. The fit looks tight and intentional, not rushed.
| Position | Tire Size |
|---|---|
| Front | 275/35R20 |
| Rear | 295/35R20 |
Brembo Braking Hardware
You have Brembo brakes on both the front and rear. That gives you strong and consistent stopping power. The brakes also look good behind the wheels and match the aggressive build.
Lowered Height And Wheel Fit
The car sits lower than stock, and you can tell right away. The wheel gap stays minimal, and the stance looks clean from every angle. The side skirts and badges help tie the lowered look together without going over the top.
Interior Details
Cabin Design And Materials
You step into a cabin that stays close to a standard new Mustang layout. The door panels and seats look factory, with no major trim swaps or custom materials.
The simple interior hides how extreme the car really is, which feels intentional rather than unfinished.
Updated Shift Knob
You get a different shift knob for the six-speed manual, and it stands out as the main interior change. The shifter moves cleanly through the gates and feels precise.
- Sharp, defined gear engagement
- Slight squeak when your hand rubs the surface
- No other console changes noted
Custom Key Fob Details
You receive a revised key fob with an RTR logo. This small touch ties the interior to the exterior branding.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Logo | RTR badge |
| Function | Same as stock |
Seating Comfort And Cooling

The car avoids harsh road noise and stays comfortable during normal driving.
Driving Feel Behind The Wheel
Steering Control And Ride Setup

What stands out
- Stable cornering
- Comfortable ride for a lowered car
- Predictable control at speed
Power Delivery And Pull
You notice the torque right away. The car moves with little effort, and it feels hard to stall. You cannot use full throttle on public roads because the power comes on fast and strong.
| Detail | What You Feel |
|---|---|
| Low-end torque | Immediate surge |
| Throttle use | Easy to overdo |
| Sound | Loud and aggressive |
Gear Changes And Shift Action
You feel a sharp and direct shift into each gear. Downshifts hit hard and sound aggressive. The shifter moves cleanly, though the shift knob feels odd when your hand rubs against it.
Daily Use And Cabin Comfort
You sit in a standard Mustang interior, which feels normal at first. That contrast hides how extreme the car really is. You also get cooled seats, which help during longer drives.
- Stock-style interior
- Comfortable suspension
- Easy to live with day to day
Street Presence And Style Impact
You draw attention everywhere you go. The color shifts as light hits it, so people notice it in motion. The aggressive body parts and lights make the car look as serious as it feels to drive.
Model Comparisons
RTR Compared With the Dark Horse
You get a clear step up with the RTR when you compare it to the Dark Horse. This car uses a supercharged 5.0L V8 with over 800 horsepower, which changes how it pulls and accelerates.
You also feel the difference in the suspension. The tuning feels tight but still comfortable, even though the car sits lower.
| Area | RTR Mustang | Dark Horse |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Supercharged 5.0L V8 | Not supercharged |
| Power | Over 800 hp | Lower output |
| Ride feel | Firm but comfortable | Less composed |
| Driving impression | More aggressive and controlled | Less engaging |
When you drive it, the extra power and setup make the RTR feel more complete. You notice the upgrade right away.
Alternative Paint Options
You are not limited to the bright color shown on this car. That paint is fully custom and shifts color in different light.
You can also choose calmer options:
- Blue: Still bright, but less extreme
- Green: A military-style green that looks subtle and clean
These choices give you the same performance without the bold color shift look.

Full Cost
You see the window sticker list a total price of $108,895. That figure reflects the car as shown, with the supercharged setup and the custom exterior work already done. You do not need to plan for added upgrades to reach the power level I’m driving.
