Ford Mustang Roush With 750 HP Reaches 170 MPH on Autobahn

Every week, Motor1.com shares various Ford Mustang-related content. However, this week there haven’t been any major Mustang news. So, we’ll start by featuring a modified sixth-generation Mustang. In the attached video, you can see this Mustang GT S550 with a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 unleashing its full potential on the Autobahn and achieving an impressive top speed.

What we have here is a Mustang GT S550 with an enhanced performance package from Roush. The stock version of this Mustang comes with a 5.0-liter V8 engine, but some people still find it underpowered. Roush offers a solution in the form of a supercharger kit, which includes several hardware and software modifications to boost the engine’s output.

Roush’s Stage 3 supercharger package takes the V8 engine’s horsepower from the factory 421 to an impressive 750 hp, and torque from 400 lb-ft to 664 lb-ft. This package is available for both manual and automatic transmission configurations of the Mustang GT. The car featured in the video has a six-speed manual gearbox and had the opportunity to reach high speeds on a section of the Autobahn with no speed restrictions.

In the eight-minute video, the yellow Mustang can be seen performing various sprints and runs on the German highway. With very light traffic, the car easily exceeds speeds of 124 mph and reaches a maximum velocity of around 170 mph.

Roush’s tuning package for the Mustang S550 also includes a full body kit, modified suspension, upgraded cooling system, 20-inch wheels, a quad exhaust pipe setup, and interior touches.

“Eagles for Education”: BMW International Open 2023 promotes equal opportunity in education.

+++ BMW Group donates 1,000 euros per eagle during the tournament rounds +++ Donation goes to the “JOBLINGE” and “Kick ins Leben” organisations +++ BMW extends long-term commitment to education and future prospects for all +++ Takumi Kanaya (JPN) hits the first eagle of the tournament with an ace on the 12th hole +++


Munich. BMW is strengthening its long-term commitment to education with the “Eagles for Education” campaign at the 34th BMW International Open. The BMW Group will donate 1,000 euros for every eagle achieved by the many top-class pros during the week of the tournament at Golfclub München Eichenried. The money will go to the “JOBLINGE” and “Kick ins Leben” organisations, with which the BMW Group has been cooperating in Munich for many years.

With the “Eagles for Education” campaign, BMW Group aims to support underprivileged children and young persons in Munich. The campaign will donate 1,000 euros for every eagle scored during the tournament to the “JOBLINGE” and “Kick ins Leben” organisations. This initiative aligns with BMW’s social responsibility and their efforts to promote better qualifications and educational opportunities for these individuals.

The first eagle of the tournament was achieved by Takumi Kanaya, a Japanese professional golfer, during Thursday’s opening round. Kanaya hit a hole-in-one on the 12th hole, setting a perfect start for the campaign.

The “JOBLINGE” initiative, launched in 2008 by the BMW Group’s Eberhard von Kuenheim Foundation, aims to support low-skilled and unemployed young people through a six-month program. During the program, participants learn on the job, improve their key qualifications, and develop their social skills with the goal of securing a job or training position. The initiative is supported by JOBLINGE staff and voluntary mentors, including BMW employees.

According to the CEO of JOBLINGE, every eagle at the BMW International Open represents new prospects for young people. The partnership between BMW Group and the “Eagles for Education” campaign continues to promote equal opportunities and educational equality, benefiting both the individuals and society as a whole.

The “Kick ins Leben” foundation, in collaboration with the BMW Group since 2019, supports young people facing disadvantages by providing them with early education and guiding them towards successful professional careers. The foundation works with children and youngsters in the Milbertshofen district, where BMW is also located. Together, they create extracurricular education opportunities and a platform for equal opportunities in the professional world. The young people have the opportunity to visit the BMW Group plant in Munich and receive mentoring from BMW employees.

The founder of “Kick ins Leben” expresses gratitude for the longstanding cooperation with the BMW Group, particularly in the disadvantaged Milbertshofen district. This partnership has made a difference in the lives of individuals in need.

BMW has a long-standing commitment to education in golf. Through the BMW Championship in the USA, the company has raised millions of dollars for the “Evans Scholar Foundation” since 2007, funding thousands of college scholarships for caddies.

The “Eagles for Education” campaign now joins BMW’s commitment at the BMW International Open in Munich. In golf, an eagle is achieved when a player takes two shots less than par (the standard score) on a hole. Last year’s BMW International Open saw a total of 73 eagles.

Peugeot Motocycles, a historic French brand that has been experiencing a resurgence in recent years, has uploaded a video on its official YouTube channel, providing a glimpse into its cutting-edge production facility in Mandeure, France.

The video begins by showing the entrance of the facility and then transitions to a designer hand-sketching the design of a scooter. The scooter then comes to life through Computer-Aided Design (CAD). The video then showcases the process of engine assembly and provides a glimpse of the production line for the Metropolis and Pulsion. Peugeot’s facility utilizes a combination of skilled craftspeople and robotics to build the engines and other intricate components of the motorcycles.

Next, the video takes us to the company’s paint booth, where the panels and components of the scooters are manually painted by craftsmen, which is a unique approach compared to other manufacturers that rely heavily on robots for this process. The painted parts are then left to cure before being transported to the assembly line. At the assembly line, engine builders work alongside technicians assembling the wheels and tires, getting everything ready for final assembly.

Can-Am Teams Up With The Shoe Surgeon For Limited-Edition Rykers

Motorcycles are not just means of transportation, they have also become lifestyle icons. Premium motorcycle brands have collaborated with renowned fashion brands. Vespa partnered with Christian Dior and Ducati with Bulgari, to name a few.

The latest collaboration is between Can-Am and The Shoe Surgeon, a popular sneaker label based in downtown Los Angeles. This collaboration is significant because both Can-Am and The Shoe Surgeon are experts in their respective fields – Can-Am in producing unique three-wheelers like the Can-Am Ryker, and The Shoe Surgeon in creating custom footwear for celebrities like Lebron James and Justin Bieber.

The Can-Am x Shoe Surgeon collaboration is not just about creating stylish three-wheelers and sneakers. It also aims to raise funds against bullying, promoting the theme of inclusivity which Can-Am and its parent company, BRP, have always emphasized. This collaboration could be their biggest initiative yet.

The limited model range consists of three themes, with each theme featuring a custom Can-Am Ryker and a matching pair of high-cut, motorcycle-style sneakers. The first theme focuses on inclusivity, showcasing a variety of leathers in different textures and colors. The Heritage Theme celebrates Can-Am’s 50th anniversary with a sleek and elegant design, featuring textured and exotic materials, and an all-black livery with striking red elements. The Love Theme gives the Ryker a unique appearance with a pink quilted finish on the bodywork, resembling down jackets, and futuristic blacked-out wheel covers.
