Roush Adds The 360R To Its Product Lineup

LIVONIA, Mich. -- Building on the impressive debut of the Stage 3 Mustang, Jack Roush is adding another Mustang to his stable: the 360R. Roush Performance, the street performance division of Roush Industries, will introduce the 360R to the public in March 2002.

This latest high performance vehicle from the Roush Performance stable of products will cost $39,995 MSRP for the base model. With the level of performance for the price, the 360R is the fastest car under $40,000.

The Roush 360R steps back in time and features racing stripes that visually and emotionally connect it with a strong Mustang heritage. The 360R will be offered in two color combinations: red with white stripes and white with blue stripes.

At the heart of this aesthetically pleasing car is a 360 horsepower, 4.6-liter V-8 engine that features a Roush engineered "Roots" supercharger; the same powertrain that makes the Stage 3 so impressive. New up front on the 360R will be upgraded 13" brakes with twin piston PBR calipers and cross-drilled/slotted rotors. The 360R will retain from the Stage 3 the front fascia and rear spoiler.

Optional components on the 360R will feature the signature 17 and 18-inch Roush wheel and tire upgrades, a short throw shifter, the Roush trunk tool kit, a 360R owner's kit with car cover, leather jacket and seat belt sleeve. Other options include the components that make up the Roush suspension package - Roush engineered front and rear springs, specially valved front struts and rear shocks, a tubular front sway bar and rear lower control arms.

Job #1 for the Roush 360R will be February 11, 2002 at the Roush plant in Livonia, Mich.
