Carrera Digital 132 Ford Mustang GTY "No.52"
Item No. 31031
The interested reader should be aware by now that the FORD Mustang GTY in this body style is a product of the imagination. The Mustang has been available for a few years now; as a racing version with sprawling spoilers, it was conceived in 2020 by our designer, who spends an insane amount of time browsing all sorts of racing websites on the internet. But experience over the past decades has shown that race cars simply outsell production vehicles. Even though the Mustang is an all-time classic in the American manufacturer's lineup.
The problem is that there are, of course, no real-life models. So the only options are paint schemes based on current racing teams or historic vehicles.
And what better choice than a (European) Ford racing classic from the 1970s? The Ford Capri Zakspeed was a legend back then, sporting black with yellow and red stripes. We're not naming the sponsor, of course, due to well-known licensing issues.
Precisely for these reasons, the current FORD GTY is called Krampus! This is a typically Austrian word for St. Nicholas's helper. In Bavarian, he's called Knecht Rupprecht, but the Krampus is a darker, more sinister figure. The Krampus scares all children who haven't been good. Krampus are on the move from Christmas to New Year's to exorcise evil spirits.
And that brings us back to the Ford Mustang's martial outfit: designed to scare and intimidate others. The slogan "Kraxn für'd Fratzn" (Krax for the Fratzn) on the roof is more of a little joke: in Austrian, "Kraxn" refers to a carrier or backpack, and "Fratzn" should be clear.
Have fun with the Ford!
Kind regards
