Slideshow: Liberty Walk Europe Turns Out Mustang with WORKS Kit

An Unusual Pairing

Liberty Walk in the United Kingdom has been making low, muscular, wide cars for some time now. Unlike America, the UK is pressed for space, similar to the rest of Europe. Having a car that isn't a tiny hatchback makes it very difficult to get around. So it's hard to explain why people still want Liberty Walk-tuned cars. They don't make sense and draw unnecessary attention. I guess that's exactly why they love them.

For their latest and most daring build yet, Liberty Walk decided to go with a Mustang with the WORKS kit.

The Kit

For those of you with ample space in the streets to play around in, you probably wouldn't realize that a Mustang is a massive car. Despite being a coupe and fitting only two full-sized adults (and maybe half of two more adults in the back), the Mustang is still huge--too big for British roads.

So to think that Liberty Walk wants to widen the 'Stang another 6.5 inches seems crazy. The Kit includes front, side and rear diffusers as well as a ducktail spoiler. The goal of this build is to look as menacing as possible!

The Details

For some, smooth edges on a car are what makes it so appealing. For Liberty Walk, that preconception is thrown out the window because smooth equates to soft. This Mustang's wheel arches display their bolts with pride as well as keeping the bubble fenders a separate panel from the body to really accentuate the wideness of the build. To keep the theme of the industrious build going, 3SDm designed a set of three-piece forged wheels to really tie the look together. pair that with its super low ride height and the Mustang just demands your attention.

Suspension and Engine

With flares and wheels like this, the car needs to be on trick suspension. GRM Northampton hooked it up with an AirREX fully digital setup which allows the car to drop straight to the ground.

They decided to go bonkers and choose the 5.0L V8 engine for this build. The majority of the Mustangs that were bought in the UK were the 2.3L EcoBoost engine variants that you find in the Focus RS because it simply makes more sense. But sense is something these guys at LW do not have. Since the V8 doesn't make enough power to satisfy this build, they're planning on turning the engine to 11 by adding a supercharger. Hopefully, they say, it'll make something around 700 horsepower. The bigger, the better!

Reactions

As stated before, a V8 Mustang is not at home on British soil and especially not on tiny village streets. So, LW did exactly what anyone would do and brought the widebody build to a tiny village to complete their photoshoot. Surprisingly, the Mustang attracted petrolheads and non-car lovers alike. The car draws crowds from every which direction because it is so out of place in a setting such as this. It has been getting lots of love at Cars and Coffee meets as well.

On the road, the Mustang is colossal. It is close to 3 inches wider than an already huge Lamborghini Aventador; so everyday driving seems like a chore rather than a pleasure.

But this car was built for one purpose and one purpose only, to wow and surprise everyone who sees it. Mission Accomplished.
