Ford Quietly Debuts 800-HP Supercharged Mustang Package

A SEMA Idea Resurfaces

Before the Mustang GTD era swallowed most of Ford's performance attention, there was another factory-backed monster waiting in the wings. At the 2023 SEMA Show, Ford revealed the original Mustang FP800S concept package, built around the S650 Mustang GT and a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger that pushed the Coyote V8 to 800 horsepower. It was meant to preview a future production upgrade, though after that event, the trail went quiet and no formal follow-up ever came from Dearborn. Well, until recently.

A new version called the FP800S Bronze Magneride Package has appeared on the Ford Custom Garage website. Ford has yet to issue any official announcement, and the package is still labeled as a concept.

However, with the content on full display on a customer-facing configurator, Ford may be preparing to finally offer the 800-hp upgrade to owners. For those who remember the SEMA car and wondered if it would ever graduate from showpiece to reality, this is the clearest sign so far.

What the Package Comes With

The bones of this new Bronze Magneride Package are familiar. The headline item remains the 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger, backed by an air/oil separator kit, upgraded half shafts, and a "street" lowering kit. A Borla Extreme cat-back exhaust is also present, along with the expected Ford Performance badging. Owners will also get a ProCal tool to recalibrate the speedometer once the hardware goes on properly.

What sets the new package apart is the 19-inch R1 forged wheels, which wear bronze accents. That color carries over to the lug nuts, graphics, and the inserts on the front grille. The bodywork gets a few upgrades too, including wheel spats plus front splitter, hood vents, mirror caps, and a carbon fiber Dark Horse spoiler. Recaro seats with Ford Performance logos and an FP800S keychain round out the interior inclusions.

How Much, You Ask?

As mentioned, the package is still listed as a concept on Ford Custom Garage, and the Blue Oval has not confirmed when customers will actually be able to order it, so that's a mystery at this point.

The lack of pricing also leaves a large question mark. Looking at the hardware involved, it is unlikely to be positioned as a casual add-on. Between the supercharger, carbon bits, and chassis upgrades, customers should expect a figure that sits above what Mustang owners typically spend on appearance packs.
