Authentic Collectables ACD18F19L 1/18 Ford Performance No.17 Ford Mustang GT Supercar 2018 Camouflage Test Livery Scott McLaughlin/Fabian Coulthard Diecast Car

Authentic Collectables are very proud to present the 1:18 Scale Ford Performance Mustang GT 'Camostang' test driven by Scott McLaughlin and Fabian Coulthard at Queensland Raceway in 2018.

Everyone in Australian motorsport had eyes on Ipswich in November of 2018 as homologation team DJR Team Penske in partnership with Ford Performance and Tickford Racing wheeled out the newly developed Ford Mustang GT Supercar which was set to appear on track the following year to contest the 2019 Supercars Championship.

Featuring a distinct camouflage livery that was specifically designed to confuse prying eyes and hide some of the Mustang's distinct (but very legal) aero advantages and carrying the iconic orange #17, it was a memorable first outing for the car.

Both DJR Team Penske's Shell V-Power Racing Team driver's Scott McLaughlin and Fabian Coulthard took turns behind the wheel over the course of the day, cutting multiple laps and testing various different set ups.

At the conclusion of the test, DJRTP reported the Mustang ran faultlessly and managing director Ryan Story said he could not have been happier with how the day unfolded.

Further testing was carried out at Phillip Island with the Mustang package later finalised and subsequently approved by Supercars to race in 2019.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Despite designing a better car and having it approved by Supercars, the new Ford Mustang was subject to various modifications in the ongoing 'parity' saga of 2019. Ultimately though, in the hands of talented driver's, it didn't matter and has been dominant since its debut, breaking records, winning back to back Manufacturers Championship's for Ford, Drivers Championship's for Scott McLaughlin, Teams Championship's for DJR Team Penske / Shell V-Power Racing Team and a Bathurst 1000 crown to cap off the cars remarkable success to date.

Don't miss this 1:18 scale model which has been produced by Authentic Collectables in high quality die-cast with detailed interior and fully opening parts in a limited edition of 1002 with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
