17. Ford Mustang McLaren M81

This exciting car was built with the help of the famous McLaren racing team; in fact, their American operation office from Michigan. The project’s whole idea was to take the 2.3-liter turbo engine from the regular Mustang and transform it into a street racing beast with race-tuned suspension, lightweight body, and a host of other modifications.

McLaren and Ford did exactly that by installing the tuned turbo engine with 190 hp, a significant number for the day, especially coming from 2.3-liters and totally changing the Fox Mustang looks. However, due to the extremely high price and specific technology, only 10 cars were ever made before the project was shut down.
