Ford Launches 800-HP Mustang Supercharger Kit, Off-Road Packages, And More At SEMA 2023

There’s something for everyone, from overlanding accessories to performance parts.

Ford Performance has introduced new custom packages for various models, previewing what customers can do with their vehicles starting in 2024, from overlanding accessories, styling add-ons, and even performance parts.

The new parts, developed in response to customer feedback, can be housed in four categories: off-road capability, aesthetic parts, vehicle graphics, and street performance. Package pricing will be made available closer to the on-sale date, and Ford notes that Ford dealers or ASE-certified shops can install the new parts, which customers can purchase through the Ford Performance Parts website or Ford dealers.

Ford’s Performance Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) package aims to turn the company’s already capable trucks and SUVs into stronger off-road performers.

For the new Ranger, revealed earlier this year, the Off-Road concept package is aimed at the overlanding crowd. This will be offered on the XLT and Lariat trims with four-wheel drive. Upgrades include an ARB overland suspension kit and new bumpers (front and rear) with extra recovery points. Optional accessories include a refrigerator, air compressor, and auxiliary lights.

As for the Bronco, the ORV concept package is offered on several trim levels, such as the Bronco Base, Big Bend, Black Diamond, and Outer Banks models equipped with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost motor. The engine gains software calibration and a high-clearance cat-back exhaust from Borla.

A Bilstein suspension system with a two-inch lift works with the new 35-inch tires and 17-inch white-painted wheels.

Mustang fans haven’t been left out of the fun with a new FP800S concept package for the new S650 generation. The package can be added to any Mustang GT Coupe and includes a 3.0-liter Whipple Supercharger kit, which increases power to a supercar-rivaling 800 horsepower.

With that much power, it’s reasonable to expect upgrades to reign all that muscle in. As such, the FP800S kit includes a half-shaft upgrade and a street-lowering kit. Additional features include an integrated intercooler air-bypass system, an oversized heat exchanger, and a high-flow intercooler pump, along with dual high-flow filters and a 92 mm throttle body, among other things. The kit is compatible with automatic and manual transmission-equipped Mustang GTs.

For added peace of mind, the kit comes with a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty and will be available in early 2024.

If performance or enhanced off-road ability isn’t your forte, Ford Performance offers new graphics and livery kits for the Bronco and Bronco Sport.

Earlier this year, the Blue Oval introduced the Bronco Sport Free Wheeling trim to capture the sunset-inspired special editions of the 1970s. Ford Performance has put its spin on this styling package with the Brock Sport Blue Free Wheeling, which is available via the Accessory Personalization program.

The Bronco is also available with beach-inspired aesthetic enhancements. Here, the Blue Free Wheeling package adds a two-inch suspension lift (courtesy of Bilstein), tube doors, painted wheel arches, and the grille from the Outer Banks models. An open-air Bimini roof is also included and gives the Bronco a whimsical demeanor.

If the factory paint colors aren’t to your liking, you could always opt for one of Ford’s custom vinyl wraps. With more than sixty colors to choose from and three different finishes (matte, gloss, or satin), customers can preview the vast array of colors on any car, SUV, or truck from early 2024. Tesla has recently introduced a similar service for the Model Y and Model 3, providing customers with more choices.

Ford has created special installation techniques that ensure the driver-assist systems and various vehicle sensors still work with the new wrap. The automaker says installation takes less than two weeks (from order to completion), with the program rolling out in regions such as California, Texas, Michigan, and Florida. It will eventually expand nationwide and be offered for owners of late model-year Mustangs, Broncos, F-150s, and Explorers.
