Turbo Mustang Gets Ruthless at Palm Beach International Raceway

JUPITER, FL – August, 2017 – A few months back, Jupiter’s Bubba’s Exotic Motorsports (BEM) officially debuted the world’s first Mustang EcoBoost racecar running in stock engine components with an aftermarket Turbonetics turbocharger producing 600 rear wheel horsepower. Turbonetics once again turned to BEM to field test and develop this first-of-its-kind car for use in the industry. This undertaking met very strict requirements, including no internal engine modifications and the ability to meet all emission requirements for all 50 states.

The BEM Turbonetics Mustang was loaded into the BEM Touring rig and headed west on a one-way, 2,900-mile trip, to Turbonetics headquarters in Simi Valley, CA. The trip took four days and, once there, the car was unveiled at the annual BOOSTED BASH 2017 car show.

Fast forward to a week later, the Mustang was unloaded and unveiled at the Palm Beach International Raceway (PBIR) in Jupiter, Florida. The charity track day event drew hundreds and BEM rally and drift world champion driver Geo Hammerbeck and his co-pilot, Roley, were there as instructors. The BEM Turbonetics Mustang made an impressive run, taking on the elite Porsche Cup Cars and was ruthless against an ACR Viper.

Perhaps a quote from professional driver Graham Hanna, who was at PBIR and saw the car run, said it best:

“I’ll be the first to tell you, I’m not a Ford person at all, but what Bubba’s did with the Mustang is nothing but sheer beauty & perfection. The exterior quality was top-notch, but the real truth lies underneath the hood. Reliable power coming from the four-cylinder setup maintaining power throughout the power band and keeping the mpg high is something very few people can accomplish.”
