“The point of this adventure was to find the perfect car for an epic, high octane, Hollywood-style car chase, and it’s the iconic Ford Mustang that gets top billing,” Collins said. “Mustang has starred in many a classic car chase during the past 50 years, and is still the stunt driver’s weapon of choice to leave the bad guys standing in a cloud of tire smoke.”
Roelant de Waard, vice president, Marketing, Sales & Service, Ford of Europe, added: “Mustang has made more than 3,700 movie appearances and has kept cinema-goers on the edge of their seats in car chases from the legendary Bullitt sequence in 1968, to the first movie to feature the all-new Mustang, Need for Speed in 2014. Being named the ultimate stunt car in Ben Collins: Stunt Driver further cements Mustang’s place as an automotive and screen icon.”
Indeed, the Mustang’s most recent high-profile on-screen appearance came in the Aaron Paul-starring Need for Speed. Didn’t see it? Curious as to whether you should check it out?
