Classic Mustangs are awesome but they’re even better when one of the industry’s latest custom car creators builds one to be one heck of a modern monster! That’s exactly the case with the Villain– a Centerforce-equipped 1968 Mustang Fastback created by the new supercar division of Classic Recreations, CR Supercars. Check out the car and where you can see it unveiled for the first time below!

Built atop a Detroit Speed Aluma-frame with Corvette- based A-arms, a DSE QUADRALink 4-link rear suspension, and a fully-adjustable DSE/JRi coilover system, the Villain, CR Supercar’s first prototype car, was built for handling and speed. Of course, you can’t build a car for performance without also making use of a powerful powertrain combination, so Villain makes use of an all-aluminum Ford Racing DOHC 5.0L Coyote engine backed by a Tremec T5 5-speed, which is further enhanced with a Centerforce clutch. This potent combination gives the classic Mustang a hefty 420 hp punch.

Stopping power for the Mustang is provided by 14-inch, six-piston caliper brakes from Wilwood on all four corners, while 18×9.5 and 18×12-inch Forgeline Grip Equipped Series wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich 275/35/18 and 335/30/18 shoes provide road gripping power to the front and rear of the vehicle respectably.

Crafted like a true piece of artwork, this stellar Mustang also features modified body lines, a custom hood, and even a unique hand-crafted rear wing that fits perfectly along the edge of the fastback’s window. All this is combined with a classic orange and black paint scheme, Kicker sound system and Old Air climate control system for the perfect mix of classically-inspired looks and modern performance inside and out.
