Old Stig approves of the new Mustang

11 November, 2015

The all-new Ford Mustang has been singled out as being the ultimate stunt car by Ben Collins — best remembered for his role as Stig on a certain BBC TV motoring programme.

Collins — whose movie stunt-driving credits include Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, Spectre, Mission Impossible, and The Dark Knight Rises — has just completed filming on his own film, Ben Collins: Stunt Driver. Check out the video of Collins discussing the Ford performance line-up back in September, 2015:

In that film, a Ford Mustang beats an array of high-performance road and competition cars during 48 hours of explosive, high-speed challenges featuring aerobatic planes, helicopter gunships, and military machines.

“There are a number of details still to attend to and fine-tune the engine and then it will at last be finished. I’m very pleased with the result,” Cory said.
Mike is extremely pleased with the end now in sight of what has been a very challenging project. The tiny jewel of Japanese motoring engenuity attracted many on-lookers at the show as it sat glistening in the sun on an appropriately brilliant Central Otago summer’s day.
