The Mustang RTR 2026 arrives with serious hardware borrowed from high performance models like the Dark Horse. It features a new rear subframe and sway bars that increase lateral rigidity for sharp cornering. Brembo brakes with six pistons up front and four in the rear deliver strong stopping power, especially during sideways action.

The optional MagneRide suspension adjusts damping in real time to maintain control during quick weight shifts. An upgraded steering rack increases wheel angle for wider and more accurate drift angles. Combined with the Electronic Drift Brake co developed with Formula Drift champion Vaughn Gittin Jr, this setup allows even novice drivers in Saudi Arabia to feel like pros on a closed track.

While the 2.3 liter turbocharged Ecoboost engine stays unchanged with 315 horsepower and 475 Newton meters of torque, Ford added an anti lag system inspired by GT race cars. This helps the turbo stay spooled between shifts for sharper throttle response coming out of corners.

A quad tip active exhaust system brings deep muscle car sounds to match the aggressive look. On the outside, the RTR gets unique lighting details called illuminated nostrils, a GT style front fascia, dark badges, and a rear spoiler. The optional Hyper Lime Package adds neon green accents on the brakes, wheels, and interior stitching. This bold design is likely to stand out on Saudi streets.

RTR upgrades are available on the 2026 Ecoboost Fastback High Package and Ecoboost Premium Fastback, starting from around 36,510 USD and 38,340 USD respectively. Deliveries are expected to begin in summer 2026.
