Description

The right hand drive 2022 Clive Sutton Mustang CS850R represents one of the most extreme and exclusive interpretations of the modern Ford Mustang ever produced in the United Kingdom. Built by renowned London-based performance specialist Clive Sutton, the CS850R was designed as a track-focused evolution of the already formidable CS850GT, blending American muscle car character with European handling precision. With only two examples produced, it is an exceptionally rare machine that occupies a unique place in modern Mustang history. At the heart of the CS850R lies Ford's 5.0 litre Coyote V8, extensively re-engineered with a bespoke Whipple supercharger, upgraded intercooler and performance exhaust system. These enhancements boosted output to an astonishing 847bhp and 665 lb-ft of torque, almost doubling the power of a standard Mustang GT. The result is explosive acceleration, accompanied by the unmistakable scream of the supercharger and the thunderous soundtrack that enthusiasts expect from a high-performance V8. According to Top Gear, the CS850R produced 847bhp and was specifically optimised for track driving.

The car's engineering extended far beyond raw power. Clive Sutton upgraded the suspension, chassis bracing, anti-roll bars and differential to improve agility and stability at high speeds. A revised final drive ratio and Torsen limited-slip differential enhanced traction and corner-exit performance, making the CS850R a significantly sharper and more capable machine than the standard Mustang. What truly cemented the CS850R's reputation was its appearance on the famous Top Gear test track. Driven by The Stig, the anonymous racing driver synonymous with the show, the car completed a lap in an impressive 1 minute 22.3 seconds. This achievement made it the fastest Mustang ever to lap the Top Gear circuit, surpassing previous modified Mustang benchmarks set by the Shelby GT500 and Roush Mustang. Top Gear described the CS850R as officially the fastest modified Mustang to have tackled the circuit. Combining extreme performance, race-inspired engineering and ultra-low production numbers, the 2022 Clive Sutton Mustang CS850R stands as one of the rarest and most remarkable Mustangs ever built, made even more significant by its record-setting lap in the hands of The Stig. Finished in silver with black interior it is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in June 2027, copies of the original build sheet and has recently had an oil change service.
