Ford Mustang FP800S Revealed with 596 kW
Ford has quietly unveiled the 596 kW Mustang FP800S Bronze Magneride package, which adds styling and performance upgrades to the seventh-generation Mustang.
Ford’s Custom Garage has revealed the FP800S Bronze Magneride package for the current-generation Mustang, which includes bronze and carbon-fibre exterior accents, updated suspension and increased power.
The Bronze Magneride package adds a 3.0-litre Whipple supercharger to the standard 5.0-litre V8 Coyote engine; upping the power output to a healthy 596 kW. That’s a 262 kW increase over the 334 kW produced by the (SA-spec) Mustang Dark Horse. Other performance upgrades include an air and oil separator, upgraded half-shaft , lowered suspension and a Ford Performance cat-back exhaust system.
The exterior is distinguished by 19-inch Bronze R1 wheels, shod in Pirelli Trofeo RS tyres, FP800S bronze decals, a carbon-fibre rear spoiler and a unique modular grille with bronze inserts. Other details include a bronze lug nut kit, wheel arch spats and Ford Performance badges on the front grille and gloss black boot trim. Along with the carbon-fibre spoiler, the FP800S also receives a carbon-fibre front splitter, bonnet vent and mirror caps.

Dream desert drive: Flat out in the savage 815bhp Ford Mustang GTD
The GTD is the most extreme Mustang ever to wear numberplates - we take unleash its wild side
I wonder if Ford would have liked to build this car 10 years ago. Back then it was planning to return to Le Mans, given it was approaching 50 years since the GT40 had won there, and senior Ford bods wanted to do that with a Mustang.
It was the swankiest car they made and they thought it would be good to see it racing: win on (Saturday and) Sunday, sell on Monday. But the more Ford's engineers looked into it, the more they thought they couldn't make it competitive.
The Mustang would be a big car for endurance racing's GTE category, and while various 'Balance of Performance' allowances would be made for that, giving it more power than some rivals, there would be a limit to how fast they could make a car with such a large frontal area.
So on the sly the engineers started developing the GT, with its narrow cockpit and standing just 1.8 inches higher than the 40in-tall GT40. The bosses were convinced, and it was so naturally fast that race cars routinely had their power capped so they didn't run away with it in competition. But it was a race car that became a road car, rather than the other way around.
The Mustang itch seemingly remained unscratched, because a decade and a generation of Mustang later, Ford still really wanted to race one at Le Mans, so it made a GT3-class variant. With a gearbox mounted at the rear, suspension by Multimatic (the Canadian company that co-developed, builds and helps race the car) and more trickery besides, it has a Le Mans class podium to its name.
