What is the Roush Mustang?

The Roush Mustang is a performance-focused version of Ford’s pony car, developed by Roush Performance. It keeps the Mustang’s coupe or convertible shape and adds Roush styling and performance parts. The company, founded by Jack Roush, has roots in engineering and motorsport, and builds performance versions of Ford models.

The Mustang sits in Ford’s range as a sporty, rear-wheel-drive coupe or convertible. Roush’s versions bring a distinct look and performance-focused character to that familiar formula.

Generations and engines

Roush Mustang versions span three generations: SN-95 (2001–2004), S197 (2005–2014) and S550 (2015–2021). The S197 brought a redesigned body with styling cues from earlier Mustangs. The S550 gave the car a more modern shape and introduced independent rear suspension across the Mustang range.

The petrol engines range from 4.6 L to 5.0 L. Roush builds on the Ford car with its own performance parts and visual details.
