The third video of the MAHLE Drive with the Original “Mustang Build” series has been posted to the MAHLE North America YouTube channel. The latest in the multi-part video series highlights the special aspects of the build that originated from the team of engineers at Petty’s Garage.

The more notable enhancements implemented by the Petty’s Garage team during the build include an upgraded exhaust system, a customized Petty’s Garage suspension system, and an upgraded braking system. Additionally, the factory Ford six-speed transmission has been enhanced with a specialized clutch to handle the 1,000 horsepower, twin-turbocharged engine.

“Petty’s Garage has done an exceptional job at putting their stamp of excellence on the MAHLE Ford Mustang,” said Jon Douglas, President of MAHLE Aftermarket Inc. “By doing so, the team at Petty’s Garage has helped to make our first ‘Drive with the Original’ promotion a huge success.” There are a few remaining installments to come in the video series before the “Drive with the Original” promotion ends on October 1, 2017. Four finalists will be randomly selected from all entries to receive an all-expense paid trip for two to the 2017 Automotive Aftermarket Product Expo (AAPEX) in Las Vegas, taking place from October 31 to November 2, 2017. The “Original”, Richard Petty, will be present when the finalists select a key fob – one of which will start the engine of the customized, twin-turbo 1,000 HP Grand Prize MAHLE Ford Mustang from Petty’s Garage. In addition to the grand prize, over 2,400 instant win prizes are up for grabs, including Richard Petty Driving Experiences, autographed Richard Petty signature Charlie 1 Horse cowboy hats, and autographed #43 die-cast model cars.
