ANTONOV 'AR500' MUSTANG <O:p></O:p>
This Mustang is a must see for power enthusiasts it has a helical planetary gear set to create a 1.36:1 step-up ratio in the first half of the RPM band during hard acceleration and nested in the valley. under a custom fabricated intake manifold by Wheel to Wheel, with Laminova tube intercooler system inside. Making this Mustangs agile are a Ford Racing suspension system and Baer brakes at all four corners. Adding some beauty to the brawn are a chin spoiler, duck tail spoiler, deck lid trim panel and a set of louvered C-pillar scoops from Classic Design Concepts.

Antonov demonstrates potential of world's first two speed <O:p></O:p>
supercharger drive system<O:p></O:p>

<O:p></O:p>
<O:p></O:p>
The world's first two speed supercharger drive system to enter series production will be demonstrated by Antonov, the automotive technology company, at the Engine Expo exhibition at Stuttgart in Germany next week The following week, the racing driver Peter Kox will demonstrate the technology at the Zandvoort race circuit in the Netherlands. <O:p></O:p>
<O:p></O:p>
While this first commercial application from Antonov's broad range of patented technologies will be demonstrated in two high performance vehicles - a Mercedes and Ford Mustang - the high volume potential for the device lies in its ability to enable engine downsizing, opening up the application of superchargers to mainstream vehicles. <O:p></O:p>
<O:p></O:p>
Following the European events, the Mustang will be shipped to North America to feature in the Hot Rod Power Tour, which is presented by GM's performance division.<O:p></O:p>
<O:p></O:p>
The initial release of the device into the buoyant US tuner market exposes the first production units to a tough performance engine environment and, in many instances, aggressive track racing conditions.<O:p></O:p>
