Hurst Performance Vehicles has unveiled a altered Ford Mustang GT convertible that will serve as the pace automobile for this year’s Ford Racing Mustang Challenge series. The automobile debuted last weekend at the series’ second race at Virginia International Raceway. This automobile is purely for pace-car duties and won’t be offered to customers, even though Hurst will sell pinewood derby skins that replicate the Mustang’s looks.

The Mustang packs numerous performance upgrades from Ford Racing. A supercharger, stainless-steel exhaust, and K&N air filter bump the V-8’s output to a claimed 550 hp and 542 lb-ft of torque. The automobile also gets a coil-over suspension and 14-inch brake discs with four-piston calipers, again from Ford Racing.

The Mustang’s exterior wears Hurst’s trademark gold-on-black paint scheme as well as pace automobile graphics and a Hurst decklid spoiler. The 20-inch Hurst aluminum wheels have gold accents and wear BFGoodrich T/A tires. Inside is a black leather interior with embroidered Hurst logos and Hurst-branded floor mats. And, of course, there’s the requisite Hurst shifter topped with a black T-shaped handle

After the race season wraps up, the Mustang pace automobile will tour muscle-car shows, dealerships, and the SEMA show in November. Next January, the automobile will be auctioned to benefit the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer, a charity that supports kids with cancer.
