Built in partnership with Vaughn Gittin Jr and the RTR team, this model appeals to drivers who want more than horsepower alone.
The 2026 Ford Mustang RTR arrives with a clear mission to deliver the most exciting and balanced version of the modern Mustang yet.
It is engineered for attitude, control, and the pure thrill that comes from driving a true performance machine.
A Bold New Look
The 2026 Mustang RTR makes an instant impression with its aggressive styling. Its signature RTR grille lights create a striking front view, while the sculpted front bumper, sharp side splitters, and motorsport-inspired rear diffuser give the car a track-ready appearance.
Optional carbon fiber aero pieces enhance both style and function, while lightweight RTR wheels with Nitto performance tires create the confident stance that RTR fans expect. It is the kind of car that turns heads the moment it arrives on the lot at Dave Arbogast Ford.
Power With Purpose

Under the hood, the 5.0-liter V8 has been tuned for even more response and energy. Depending on the RTR Spec level, owners can expect increased power, sharper throttle feel, and a deep, aggressive exhaust tone.
The 2026 RTR focuses less on bragging rights and more on real-world excitement. It feels alive whenever the driver gets into the throttle, giving owners a connected and engaging driving experience both on the street and on the track.
Handling That Stands Out
The 2026 Mustang RTR separates itself from standard Mustangs with a handling package tuned for precision. Upgraded suspension parts, refined alignment specs, and enhanced steering feel combine to create a car that stays planted and predictable in corners.
Optional MagneRide tuning provides even greater control for drivers seeking the highest level of performance. This is the kind of handling package that performance customers at Dave Arbogast Ford appreciate the moment they take a test drive.
A Driver Focused Cabin

Inside, the RTR uses the advanced digital cockpit of the modern Mustang and adds unique touches to give the interior its own identity. These include an RTR shift knob, serialized dash badge, optional Recaro seating, and custom display themes that match the car’s performance-focused style. The cabin is modern, clean, and designed around the driver, making every moment behind the wheel feel special.
Why the 2026 RTR Matters
In a time when the automotive world is shifting quickly toward electric and hybrid performance, the 2026 Mustang RTR stands as a celebration of classic driving passion. It delivers real sound, real feedback, and real connection to the road, while still embracing modern technology and performance engineering. For enthusiasts seeking the perfect blend of attitude and capability, Dave Arbogast Ford is proud to offer a Mustang that delivers exactly that.
The 2026 Ford Mustang RTR is more than a performance package. It is a reminder of why people fall in love with driving. With its bold style, responsive power, and unmistakable character, it stands out as one of the most exciting performance cars available at Dave Arbogast Ford.
