Roush unveils 2014 Mustang with up to 675bhp
Roush Performance has revealed its 2014 Mustang range, offering buyers supercharged V8 power, multiple tuning stages and a starting price of $31,545 in the US.
Roush Performance has officially taken the covers off its 2014 Mustang line-up, confirming a supercharged V8, a range of power upgrades and a starting price of $31,545 including destination for US customers. Orders are now being accepted for the latest iteration of the Roush-tuned Ford Mustang, which builds on the existing S197 platform with a choice of tuning packages targeting muscle car enthusiasts.
The headline feature of the 2014 Roush Mustang is the Stage 3 package, which takes Ford’s 5.0-litre V8 and fits a supercharger to deliver 574bhp. This kit, priced at $17,000 plus a $900 destination charge, includes a recalibrated suspension setup to handle the increased torque and power. Roush’s Stage 3 is aimed at buyers seeking a track-capable car with road manners, and sits at the top of the Roush range for the S197 Mustang.
Buyers wanting even more can specify the Ford Racing Aluminator forged engine for an additional $8,250. When combined with Roush’s Phase 2 or Phase 3 upgrade packs, the output rises to 625bhp or a claimed 675bhp respectively. These options place the Roush Mustang among the most powerful Mustangs available from a recognised aftermarket tuner, rivalling the output of some supercars at a fraction of the price.
What buyers get for their money
The $31,545 entry price includes the base Roush body styling and interior upgrades, but buyers will need to add the cost of the performance kits to reach the higher power figures. The Stage 3 kit’s $17,000 price tag reflects the substantial hardware and engineering involved, from the supercharger to uprated suspension components. The Ford Racing Aluminator engine and higher Phase kits are further cost options for those seeking headline power figures.
- Base Roush Mustang: $31,545 (includes $795 destination charge)
- Stage 3 Kit: $17,000 (+$900 destination)
- Ford Racing Aluminator engine: $8,250
- Phase 2 Pack: 625bhp
- Phase 3 Pack: 675bhp
All versions feature Roush-specific styling cues, including a revised front fascia, unique badging and interior trim. The suspension upgrades are designed to improve handling and control, with the Stage 3 kit in particular targeting buyers who want usable performance both on the road and at track days.
Positioning among US muscle cars
Roush’s 2014 Mustang arrives as Ford marks the 50th anniversary of the original Mustang, with several rivals and special editions appearing across the market. The Roush car stands out for its blend of factory-backed reliability and aftermarket power, offering an alternative to Shelby and other high-performance Mustang variants. For buyers interested in the broader Mustang story, Ford has also marked the anniversary with a new logo, as reported in Ford Unveils Mustang 50th Anniversary Logo Ahead of Global Celebrations.
