by New RTR Package for 2026 Ford Mustang Ecoboost
Ford has introduced a special RTR package for the four-cylinder Mustang Ecoboost 2026, making it more sporty and ambitious. This package was developed in collaboration with Vaughn Gittin Jr. and his company RTR Vehicles, which recently released the powerful Mustang Spec 5 version.
Key Features of the RTR Package
Technological Improvements
Although the Mustang Ecoboost is equipped only with an automatic transmission and a four-cylinder engine, the RTR package makes it more attractive to performance car enthusiasts. The anti-lag system, borrowed from Ford GT racing models, provides instant turbo response, improving acceleration dynamics.
Chassis and Design Updates
Thanks to lower weight and better weight distribution compared to V8 versions, the Mustang RTR received numerous chassis upgrades. Among them are Brembo brakes from the GT, recalibrated MagneRide dampers, and modified steering for greater turning angle. Externally, the car stands out with 19-inch wheels, LED grille, and GT spoiler.
Interior and Exterior
The interior features lime accents on the seams, handbrake, and illuminated sill plates with RTR logo. These details complement the car’s aggressive exterior appearance.
Price and Prospects
The price of the Mustang RTR has not yet been announced, but it is expected to be lower than the V8 GT, which costs $48,555. This package makes the four-cylinder Mustang more competitive, demonstrating that it can be not only an economical option but also a true sports model.
The introduction of the RTR package for the Mustang Ecoboost could change attitudes toward four-cylinder versions, which were often viewed as a compromise. Engineers focused on improving dynamics and handling, making this model interesting for those seeking a balance between power and practicality. The growing popularity of such packages indicates that manufacturers are paying increasing attention to special versions adapted to drivers’ needs.
