Formula Drift Champion Vaughn Gittin Jr. has just revealed the 2014 Ford Mustang RTR in Monster Energy Nitto Tire livery to be used during the 2013 season.
This year's green-eyed Monster Energy "power-drifter" sports no less than 845 HP thanks to a Roush Yates Racing Engines/Ford Mustang aluminum V8 connected to a 4 Speed Dog Box transmission and weighs only 2900 pounds.
Vaughn Gittin Jr. is set not only to tackle the Formula Drift Championship, but also wants to attend the World Drift Series in China, several events and demonstrations across Europe, and even visit some military bases.
"I’m really pumped on this years’ livery and overall aesthetics surrounding our efforts," says Vaughn. "For the first time in my career, I have been able to start from a clean slate and get a bit crazy with the look of my car that I will be using for battle. Being that the Mustang is my weapon of choice out there on the track, the base of the livery was inspired from old battle ships that were covered with ‘dazzle camo’. From there, we added my XX5 (#25) logo and flag elements, along with some of my favorite colors and a little rock n’ roll to get a livery that I feel really portrays me. I look forward to giving it some real battle scars!"
Vaughn will debut its new Monster Energy Mustang RTR on April 12-13, when the Formula Drift Round 1 is scheduled to take place in Long Beach, California.
