Listen "Rob Herrod and the Mustang R-Spec"
Episode Synopsis
The limited-edition Mustang R-Spec has been a standout success story for Ford Australia and Herrod Performance, selling all 500 Supercharged performance machines nearly as quickly as they were being built.
Constructed at what was until now, a dormant Broadmeadow’s plant, the R-Spec are one of the rare occasions that the blue oval has worked closely with an after-market supplier to construct a limited run of vehicles where they also warrant the cars under their normal warranty plan.
Rob Herrod, the man behind Herrod Performance, says the Mustang R-Spec is the highlight of his career and in this month’s Famous Last Words Podcast, he talks about the planning that went into the car, his relationships with people like Dick Johnson and Howard Marsden, and what plans he has for the future.
I hope you enjoy an insight into Rob Herrod, and the Mustang R-Spec.
