Ford Mustang has always had a thing for competition, and especially if the competition happens to be overseas.

While the Ford GT40, the newer GT and the Cobra (sigh!) tell a different story, the Mustang is getting ready to re-write some parts of history.

Ford has big plans and they are starting off with a special VDS Mustang GT3, which will be participating in the FIA GT3 Euro Championship.

A Belgian-Canadian joint effort is behind this strategic planning. Multimatic, Canada’s racing garage has prepared this new Mustang for the Marc VDS Racing Team.

In this championship this Sally is going to compete against the Porsches, Mercsdes and the likes on some of Europe’s most challenging circuits.

Tests are already going on at Ford’s Bedfordshire testing facility and not surprisingly, a team of Canadian and Belgian drivers will drive it.

Is this VDS Mustang GT3 really good enough against the European mettle? Can’t say just yet. Fingers crossed!
