Vaughn Gittin helped Ford develop a Performance E-Brake option for the 2024 Mustang that unlocks a drift mode when in Track Driving mode.
Mustang RTR Spec 5-FD and Driftable S650 MustangMustang RTR Spec 5-FD and Driftable S650 MustangThe option is called the Mustang Performance Electronic Parking Brake offered in conjunction with the Performance Pack. It can be added to either engine, the 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder or the 5.0-liter Coyote V8, and either transmission, the ten-speed automatic or six-speed manual.
It's been designed with various skill levels in mind, adjustable settings said to allow novices to learn how to throw the back out"and later change system settings to use in track-only competition." As for Gittin, he'll drive in four of this year's eight Formula Drift rounds, sharing the driver's seat with team member Adam LZ. We imagine that when he's not in the car, he'll be prepping the launch of RTR's line of components for the S650 Mustang, some of which are shared with the Spec 5-FD racer.
