Since 2006, American car giant Ford Motor Company has continued to wow the automobile world, or the whole world for that matter, with their unique Mustang GT models year after year which are revealed during the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. This aviation event holds the title of the world’s greatest and biggest aviation celebration. This year’s Mustang GT design honors the Blue Angels Naval Aviation Team.
The design for this year’s Mustang GT took inspiration from the F-18 Hornet aircraft of the Blue Angels.

The Blue Angels-inspired Mustang GT model is equipped with screen images for easy navigation, safety belts made of fabric, and top performance gauges. Furthermore, when you open the doors, the puddle lamps reveal images of jet planes to pay tribute to the Blue Angels. The Mustang GT carries a supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 Ford Racing engine that comes with 624 horsepower or 465 kW / 632 PS. The model car is also given a Ford Racing racetrack brakes, a handling pack, and performance exhaust for ultimate performance.

Ferrari California GT
The official pics of the California GT have been released and soon enough it will be launched at the Paris Motor Show in October. This mid-sized roadster will only be built as a convertible with Ferrari’s first folding hardtop.
