Rare Hertz Penske Car # 2 of #10

2014 Ford Mustang Hertz Penske GT Description

This Hertz Penske GT is a 2014 Mustang GT, loaded up with all the good stuff (Brembos, the Recaros, etc), plus around $4,500 in Ford Racing Performance Parts (the Handling Pack, CAI tune, supplemental gauges, and GT500 mufflers to name a few). They're all black, dressed up with Penske Racing fender badges, a screaming yellow offset hood/roof stripe, anddoor stripe. There are only 150, and it's the last special-edition Mustang of this generation. The Mustang was never in the rental fleet and was owned by a Hertz Executive, winning bidder with be given the history of ownership.

Because the Penske GT is a rental car, and Americans no longer drive manuals, they're all automatics. Or at least that's what Hertz says. What they don't tell you is that cars #1-10 are all manuals, and they'll never enter the rental fleet. They're for VIPs and Hertz execs. This is car # 2, car # 1 sits on display at the Hertz corporate HQ.

There's a 3.55 rear axle out back for quicker sprints off the line, a free-breathing intake, and a tweaked ECU for better throttle response. The big Brembo stoppers from the track package are along for the ride, as is the FRPP Handling Pack. The Hertz Penske GT sits a full inch lower than its production siblings, and while the springs are stiff, the ride isn't exactly punishing.

The car also sports the best of everything from the Mustang aero catalog, including theBoss 302front splitter and aGT500rear valance. Inside, the factory bucket seats go the way of the dumpster in favor of a pair of optional Recaros. Penske built 10 examples of this car with a manual for company executives and other VIPs.
