Ford at SEMA 2023: supercharged Mustang GT, upgrades for Bronco and Ranger

Usually automakers bring non-binding concepts and one-off projects to the SEMA tuning show, but Ford showed up this year to Las Vegas with a bunch of new parts from the Ford Performance Parts catalog that anyone will soon be able to buy.

This August, Ford Performance unveiled the masterpiece Ford Mustang GTD—the fastest and most technically sophisticated road-going Mustang in history. It would seem that the limit of perfection has been reached and there is simply no point in further practicing with the Mustang, but the fact is that the Mustang GTD is a limited and very expensive product with the price of a supercar ($300,000), there is a large market gap between it and ordinary, assembly line Mustangs , the Ford Performance Parts catalog should fill it out.

Owners of stock seventh-generation Ford Mustang GTs equipped with a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 Coyote (487 hp, 567 Nm) will soon have access to the FP800S compressor upgrade — it will be shown for the first time at the SEMA show, and sales will begin next year. The FP800S features a sixth-generation 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger with dual intercoolers, higher-performance fuel injectors, a larger intake system with filters, new control software and all the necessary parts for installation. The promised output power is over 800 hp

Ford will later offer a separate compressor upgrade for the Mustang Dark Horse.

When applied to the Ford Bronco, the ORV package has a different content; it is available for the SUV in the Base, Big Bend, Black Diamond and Outer Banks trim levels in combination with a 2.3-liter gasoline turbo engine (304 hp, 440 Nm). The package includes a Bilstein suspension with a 51 mm increase in ground clearance, 17-inch white wheels on 35-inch “toothy” BFGoodrich tires, a new engine management program (what it does is not yet clear), and for an additional fee a Borla exhaust system and hydraulic jack ABR with on-board compressor.
