Unleashed: Mustang Drift

Starring: Vaughn Gittin Jr.

When Ford first introduced the new facelifted 2010 Ford Mustang, a section of it’s Mustang website was started called ‘The 2010 Unleashed’. A number of video stories were published for Ford to promote and show off the new body style. The first in a line of ‘The 2010 Unleashed’ stories featured Formula Drift driver Vaughn Gittin Jr. taking a 2010 Mustang GT far from home on a trip of a lifetime to Japan. During the video story we follow Vaughn as he arrives in Japan and to check out the drifting scene. Anyone who is familiar with drifting knows that Japan is it’s homeland, and the Mustang is not your typical drift car. However Vaughn Gittin Jr. is in Japan with no ordinary brand new 2010 Mustang. Before being shipped to Japan, it was fitted with a Ford Racing Whipple Supercharger kit pumping out 550 horsepower along with a Ford Racing suspension. The plot is simple: the land of the rising sun, a professional drifter, and a brand new tire shredding Mustang. How will Japan’s drift culture embrace a modern pumped up Mustang?

If you’re already wondering who Vaughn Gitting Jr. is, check out this video first. Vaughn has done a lot for the 2010+ Mustang since it’s introduction in both racing and on the street, including inspiring the Mustang RTR Package available for 2011 Mustang’s. On to the story.
