Since Hammond looked a bit miserable on that Vincent Black Shadow bike last night, we thought we'd dig out something to cheer up our favourite diminuitive muscle car fan: a 700bhp Mustang from American tuning firm Randall Reed Ford.
OK, it's hardly the subtlest tuning job, but when was lairy American muscle supposed to be subtle?
The Mustang's 4.6-litre V8 has been beefed up from its standard 315bhp to a whopping 700bhp, thanks to a brace of giant turbochargers, a new high-flow exhaust and, of course, a remapped ECU.
Those mean-looking wheels are 20-inchers, with 14-inch brakes beneath for added stoppability.
Apparently there's a bodykit, too, though we're darned if we can spot it.
Unlike most aftermarket jobs, the Randall Speed Mustang will be available through a handful of official Ford dealers in the US. Price? Let's just say it's a bit cheaper than a stunningly rare 1940s motorbike...
Now watch Richard try out the Shelby Mustang GT500 against his own classic ’Stang:

VieVentar, the stock one isn't as bad to drive as the TG boys would have you believe. Yes, its big and lumbering, but thats its point, and if you see it against the Exige in S8, it was 2 seconds behind and the stig looked like he was having lots more fun. As for this 700hp job, its looks stupid but will be one hell of a machine, for a lot less than that ludicrous M6 g-string, but is it better than a Super Snake?
