Ford is collaborating with automotive lifestyle magazine DUB, long-time partner Roush Industries and Pirelli Tire on the production of the 2011 DUB Edition Ford Mustang. Based on the 2011 Mustang V6, the DUB Edition Mustang will be available as a coupe, convertible or with Ford’s Glass Roof option.
Equipped with the 2011 Mustang’s 305-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 mated to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, the special edition will distinguish itself with a unique front fascia and splitter, quarter-window louvers and a windshield banner – all from Roush – plus a DUB stripe package and 20-inch TIS wheels with Pirelli P Zero Nero ultra-high-performance rubber. Roush lowering springs are also in place, and the rear axle ratio has been modified to 3.31.
“DUB delivers Pirelli into entirely new markets, and puts us in front of a youthful base of influencers that appreciate the performance, control and heritage of the Pirelli brand,” says Rafael Navarro, Director, Media Relations and Motorsports for Pirelli Tire North America.
Pirelli’s P Zero Nero is the tire of choice for the DUB Edition Mustang. Featuring an asymmetric tread design, the company states that the tire’s innovative compound improves grip in wet and dry conditions, and was specifically designed for “soft” and “hard” tuning.
Exterior color choices are limited to Black, Grabber Blue, Race Red or Ingot Silver for the DUB Edition Mustang, each paired with a black interior.
The 2011 DUB Edition Ford Mustang, on sale this fall, will be featured in Ford’s new advertising campaign.
