Offered for sale is Build No. 48 of 50 Australian delivered Scott McLaughlin Limited Edition 2022 Ford Mustangs. With 775hp (578kW) of supercharged power on tap, this one off built Grabber Blue SM17 Limited Edition Mustang is now for sale from our Sydney Showroom.  

To celebrate the great success of McLaughlin, Ford teamed up with Herrod Performance, Dick Johnson Racing and the three time Australian Supercars Champion and 2019 Bathurst 1000 winner to build a super special limited edition Mustang. And Build No. 48 is literally the ONLY SM17 built in the signature Mustang colour of Grabber Blue. With only 1,633 Kilometres on the clock, this 6 speed manual example is one seriously special and highly collectable Mustang. 

Thanks to the Gen 5 HP 3.0 litre supercharger developed by Whipple Superchargers and Herrod Performance, the Scott McLaughlin Limited Edition Mustang produces 775hp (578kW) of supercharged power with 610 ft/lb's of torque (810Nm) @ 7500rpm on Shell V-Power 98 pump fuel. In fact, the SM17 Mustang is more powerful than McLaughlin's Mustang Supercar!

The Herrod SM17 Mustang also brings improvements to the Ford Mustang GT coupe's suspension, visuals and aerodynamics, and brings a luxury Italian leather cabin.

The SM17 is another Mustang project by Rob Herrod, who previously led development of 500 examples of the 522kW-plus supercharged Ford Mustang R-Spec for Ford Australia and 30 examples of the 635kW Dick Johnson Limited Edition Mustang produced as part of the 40th anniversary of Johnson’s record run as a touring car and Supercars team owner.

According to McLaughlin, “It is everything I was hoping for. It’s a phenomenal package. Any Supercars driver would love to have their name on a car like this, and I had Rob Herrod to handle all the heavy lifting. I’ve always wanted a racy red car with black wheels. And now I’ve got it – and then some.”

The SM17 has a surprising father, as it was McLaughlin’s dad who came up with the idea for a celebration Mustang.

Scott’s dad, Wayne, was always telling Ford they should do a limited-edition car. Once Scott had wrapped up his third Supercars title it seemed like the right time to accelerate the program.

The key to the SM17 package is the Whipple supercharger, which is a world first. It looks like a regular Whipple, but internally it is completely different. The throttle response is amazing and there is a nice supercharger whine with a roar when it really gets going. Keeping the rampaging V8 working properly is the largest intercooler available, with a 7.5-litre reservoir, plus bigger Bosch fuel-injectors, an oversized inlet manifold high-flow intercooler pump and a six-rib belt system with heavy-duty tensioner.

The headline numbers are 578kW of power and 810Nm of torque, running on 98-octane Shell V-Power fuel.

The SM17 also has a unique Herrod Performance engine oil-cooler, for both the auto and manual, and a performance transmission cooler on the auto. It also has a unique transmission calibration for crisper shifts.

At the back-end there is a cat-back stainless-steel exhaust which flows more freely, terminating in black chrome tips, and the car keeps Ford’s active exhaust controller on the steering wheel.

The suspension is lowered, there are adjustable sway bars and a calibration change to the Magneride system, which Herrod says helps support the front-end under braking and heavy cornering loads.

The SM17 rolls on 20-inch alloys wrapped with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres – 275/30 at the front and 305/30 at the rear.

Body-wise, there is a racy rear spoiler, a revised nose with an aggressive air-dam, lower splitter and side strakes, plus gloss-black treatment for the grille, mirrors and bonnet vents.

Inside, the seats are trimmed with black Italian leather and embossed, and there is a bespoke Herrod steering wheel with Alcantara wrapping and a red loop at 12 o’clock. 

“It’s a phenomenal result. Rob Herrod is very smart with the performance side of things and very passionate,” says McLaughlin.

There is literally no other Mustang like it. In fact, of the 50 SM17 Mustangs built, Number 48 is the ONLY car built in the signature Mustang colour of Grabber Blue. With only 1,633 Kilometres on the clock, this is one seriously special and highly collectable Mustang.
