The pace car, which is spun off the 2014 Ford Mustang GT500, will be driven by Ramon Rodriguez, one of the stars of the upcoming Need for Speed movie.

The one-off Mustang was created for the movie and features a custom-designed wide body with unique 22-inch alloy wheels and larger intakes. While Ford has not released technical specifications on the car, it suggests that it is capable of churning out 900 horsepower.
