LOS ANGELES: Muscle car restoration specialist Trick Rides has previewed its new, widebody Mustang build dubbed “Scorched.”
The line of only 20 examples marks the world’s first all-carbon 1969 Mustang engineered entirely in CAD with advanced 3D-scanning technology for aerospace-level precision.
The first completed vehicle will make its official debut in the TMI booth (#24477) in Central Hall at the SEMA Show this November in Las Vegas.
Trick Rides has reimagined the iconic Mustang by crafting it entirely from pre-preg carbon fibre.
Paying homage to the commitment to racing that inspired the original vehicle, Trick Ride’s performance-driven interpretation elevates the legendary muscle car with advanced aerodynamics, precise panel fitment and significant weight savings.
By incorporating carbon fiber throughout, Trick Rides has enhanced structural integrity and brought a new level of craftsmanship and innovation to one of the most celebrated muscle cars.
In collaboration with TMI Products, “Scorched” will also feature a custom interior that includes all-new high-back seating from the brand.
TMI will also incorporate German square-weave carpeting, custom-made door panels, a console and an Alcantara headliner, all of which have been made and installed in the USA.
“Our latest creation, ‘Scorched,’ represents a new era in muscle car engineering and design,” said Trick Rides founder Jason Engel.
“Our goal was to push the boundaries of what a resto-mod could be by adding modern twists to a timeless classic. The result showcases what is possible when modern engineering meets iconic heritage, and I’m beyond excited to debut the completed vehicle with TMI at SEMA.”
“Scorched” customers can choose from three powerhouse engine options: a VMP-supercharged 5.0-liter Coyote V8, a 429 cubic-inch Kaase “Boss Nine” or a Ford Performance 427 cubic-inch V8.
The engine is paired with a TREMEC T-56 six-speed manual and a custom exhaust system with Stainless Works headers and MagnaFlow mufflers.
Built on a Roadster Shop chassis, “Scorched” boasts a Fox coilover-equipped independent front suspension, a parallel four-link rear and oversized sway bars for increased stability.
Power is delivered to the ground by Forgeline three-piece wheels, wrapped in Continental ExtremeContact Force tyres and brought to a stop by custom six-piston Baer Brakes.
