Ford quietly revisits the FP800S with a bronze theme
Ford Custom Garage has updated its showpiece Mustang FP800S concept first seen at SEMA 2023, this time dressing it in a striking bronze-and-gray motif. The Bronze Magneride Package concept arrived without a press fanfare on the Ford Custom Garage website, but it speaks loudly to enthusiasts: forged looks, track-ready hardware, and serious power under the hood.
What’s new on the outside
Visually, the concept trades the original blue paint and white spun-forged wheels for a more somber gray paintwork paired with bronze wheels and matching lug nuts. Pirelli Trofeo RS tires wrap the bronze rims, while bronze grille inserts and subtle bronze graphics ensure the color treatment feels deliberate, not accidental.

Other exterior highlights include:
- Ford Performance front and rear badging
- Gloss-black trunk applique and wheel spats
- A Ford Performance cat-back exhaust
- Numerous carbon-fiber components, including a Dark Horse-style rear wing, front splitter, hood vent, and skull-cap side mirrors
Ford hasn’t confirmed whether the carbon items are merely styling pieces or part of a serious weight-reduction program, but they fit the aggressive aesthetic and hint at track intentions.
Interior and creature comforts
Step inside and the FP800S continues its performance narrative: Recaro sport seats embroidered with the Ford Performance logo, an FP800S interior badge on the passenger dash, a custom keychain, and the FPP ProCal Tool for speedometer calibration. These touches emphasize that this concept is built for owners who plan to push the car on and off the track.

Under the skin: how deep do the upgrades go?
The concept’s mechanical changes extend well beyond cosmetics. A half-shaft upgrade package signals the car is built to handle substantially more power than a stock Mustang GT or even a Dark Horse. For context:
- Mustang GT stock power is in the 480–486 hp neighborhood depending on tune
- Dark Horse comes from factory at around 500 hp and uses forged connecting rods and a higher 7,500 rpm redline
As the FP800S name suggests, this Mustang is equipped with a Whipple twin-screw supercharger that boosts the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 into the 800-horsepower class. Ford Performance lists the Whipple kit (part number M-6066-M8800) as compatible with both GT and Dark Horse models.

Key performance details cited by Ford Performance and Whipple include:
- Advertised peak: 810 hp at 7,500 rpm with active exhaust
- Peak torque: 615 lb-ft (834 Nm) at 4,800 rpm with active exhaust
- With the standard exhaust, output drops by roughly 10 hp
- Ancillary parts include a 92 mm throttle body and an air/oil separator to keep inlet air cleaner
The presence of a half-shaft upgrade suggests drivetrain reinforcement to cope with the additional torque, while a lowering kit and Magneride dampers improve handling and stance.
Parts availability and pricing
Ford Performance has not released a single, purchasable Bronze Magneride package as a complete kit. However, some components and compatible parts are available through Ford Performance catalog numbers:
- Whipple supercharger kit: M-6066-M8800 — listed price approximately $10,500 at the time of publication
- Bronze-style complete wheel package: M-1007K-DHSB — includes four wheels, caps, pressure sensors, and TPMS activation tool; priced around $1,705
These prices reflect Ford Performance retail listings as of December 2025 and may change.

How this sits in the market
The FP800S Bronze Magneride Concept is a clear example of how OEM-backed tuning and visual packages can bridge the gap between aftermarket customization and factory engineering. For buyers who want a Dark Horse with even more low-end punch or a GT that plays in the territory of high-horsepower supercars, Ford Performance is selectively offering parts to build toward that goal without turning the factory car into a full race car.
For enthusiasts, the appeal is twofold: a factory-supported performance route and the cachet of exclusive styling. For Ford, concepts like this serve as a rolling showcase of what aftermarket partners and its own performance division can achieve together.
Highlights:
- SEMA 2023 roots, now reimagined in bronze and gray
- Whipple twin-screw supercharger ready to push the 5.0 Coyote to ~810 hp with active exhaust
- Select Ford Performance parts available now, but no single bronze-themed package to buy yet
Whether you view it as a styling exercise or a hint at what a heavily modified Mustang can become, the FP800S Bronze Magneride Concept is a high-impact reminder that the Mustang platform still has enormous tuning potential.
