Roush has announced the release of its first European specification Mustang. The Limited Edition model, designated 420RE, is an evolution of the hugely successful MY2005 and MY2006 Mustang which has taken the US market by storm.

It's the company's first solo foray into European retail, although worked with Ford and other manufacturers in an engineering support role for many years.

The 420RE features additional items to enhance not only appearance but performance too. These include:

Roush developed Roots-type supercharger kit with recalibrated ECU increasing power by 100bhp
Free flow cat-back performance exhaust system
Roush suspension kit comprising revised dampers, struts, lowered springs and stiffer roll bars
Roush brake package comprising new red painted front calipers, larger discs and braided hoses.
18-inch x 10-inch Roush alloy wheels with 275/40 tyres
Billet aluminium pedals
Short throw gear shift lever (manual transmission only)
Roush logoed floor mats
Rear quarter window louvres
Unique Roush 420RE rocker decals
Roush front wing badges

Vehicle engineering manager Dave Jones said: "We're delighted to be able to bring such a great car to Europe - this is the first time Roush will offer its own bespoke vehicle package to European customers, and we know it will be met with great enthusiasm".

The 420RE will be marketed exclusively through the American Carriage Company in London and will be a limited production run only. It's priced from £39,950.
