2005 Thalon Design Ford Mustang GT
The 2005 Mustang is very well designed and appreciated by many and serves as a homage to the old vintage designs of the first Mustangs. It therefore felt natural to build an Eleanor for the 21’st century on the body of this new Mustang.
During the winter of 2004 the design process started, first as a clay sculpt and then refined in a 3d program. Images were printed out in full scale to be used as reference for the sculpting team.
Just a few months later the car was unveiled for the first time at one of Scandinavia’s greatest car shows.

2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt
Ford engineers modified the 2008 Mustang Bullitt’s chassis and suspension to fine-tune handling and ensure the extra horsepower and torque from the 4.6-liter V-8 is put to good use. The live rear axle uses a unique 3.73:1 gear that helps launch the Bullitt with vigor.
Stock Mustang GT shocks and struts were swapped out for new units that allowed engineers to dial in a more aggressive driving dynamic while still maintaining the outstanding ride and balance of the base Mustang GT. A tower-to-tower pace designed specifically for the Bullitt lends additional torsional and lateral stiffness to the chassis for improved cornering and holds a unique serial number for each Bullitt.
