The Ringbrothers' 'Kingpin' Mustang: A Masterpiece with 800 Horsepower
After more than 5,500 hours of meticulous work, the Ringbrothers crafted one of the most formidable Mustangs in existence. Their 2025 SEMA highlight is the "Kingpin," a completely transformed 1969 Mustang Mach 1.
Powertrain and Performance
The car boasts an 800-horsepower Whipple-supercharged Wegner Motorsports 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 engine. Power reaches the rear wheels through a Bowler six-speed manual transmission, delivering an exhilarating driving experience.
Chassis and Suspension
The Ringbrothers replaced the original body-on-frame construction with a unibody chassis based on a Roadster Shop platform. This new setup features dual wishbone suspension and Fox RS coilovers, significantly improving handling and ride quality.
Design and Aesthetics
- The Mach 1 body is wider—2 inches at the front and 3.5 inches at the rear—with a wheelbase extended by 1.5 inches.
- Carbon fiber accents subtly enhance the exterior, maintaining much of the Mustang’s original character but with a darker, more aggressive tone.
- A set of HRE wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires completes the look and performance package.
"Some of the greatest (and some of the jankiest) builds in the automotive universe all gather in Las Vegas for one big aftermarket showdown."
"In usual Ringbrothers fashion, this Mustang is completely redone from the ground up."
The “Kingpin” Mustang combines raw power with refined engineering, showcasing the Ringbrothers’ dedication to craftsmanship and innovation.
