In late January 2025, Ford and Triple Eight Race Engineering sent shockwaves through the motorsport world - both locally and internationally - when it was announced the two iconic brands would reunite in Supercars for the 2026 season.

The historic news was revealed at Ford’s 2025 season launch in the United States, with Triple Eight Race Engineering Managing Director Jamie Whincup appearing on stage alongside Ford’s Global Director of Racing, Mark Rushbrook, to officially confirm the renewed partnership.

Simultaneously, a Ford Mustang GT Gen3 Supercar was unveiled at Ford’s Australian headquarters, presented in the instantly recognisable Red Bull Ampol Racing colours to further celebrate Triple Eight’s return to the Blue Oval.

The special launch livery proudly featured Ford and Ford Performance branding, along with the names of Red Bull Ampol Racing’s star driver line-up - then-reigning Supercars Champion Will Brown and rising star Broc Feeney - displayed with the team’s iconic #88 race number.

This car marks a pivotal moment in the history of Ford, Triple Eight Race Engineering, and the Supercars Championship.

Produced in 1:18 scale die-cast, the model features opening components including the bonnet and both driver and passenger doors. A highly detailed racing cockpit is visible through the clear moulded glasshouse or by opening the doors for closer inspection. Beneath the bonnet sits a faithfully recreated 5.4-litre Coyote quad overhead cam V8 engine and detailed engine bay, while the underside showcases the distinctive Gen3 floorpan.

Comprised of approximately 204 individual metal and plastic parts, the model undergoes between 100 and 200 separate paint and decoration processes. Finishing touches include tampo printing where possible and finely crafted photo-etched components such as bonnet pins and brake rotors, resulting in a premium, high-quality collector’s piece.

Produced in a strictly limited edition of just 888 pieces worldwide, this model is a must-have for Ford and Triple Eight Race Engineering fans alike. We have a very small allocation for this item, which is sure to sell quickly.
