UBB is a new brand headed up by engineer Porter, the man who started up the European Cannonball Run and The Great American Run.

It's taken Tim two years to create the UBB Mustang which has been fitted with a modified version of the Ford GT's 5.4-litre supercar engine.

The supercharged lump now produces 1,000bhp and 850lb/ft of pulling power, putting it on a par with the Bugatti Veyron. As a result it will accelerate from 0-60mph in 3.8 seconds, cover the quarter mile in 9.4 seconds and hit a top speed of 220mph.

At 75mph, UBB claim the 1,000bhp Mustang will be ticking along at just 1,500rpm with the engine capable of revving all the way to 8,000rpm.

If 1,000bhp is too much then UBB will be offering the Mustang with its standard 4.6-litre engine with 335bhp, the same engine twin-turbocharged with 500bhp and a 5-litre supercharged model with 700bhp.

But if, somehow, 1,000bhp is so last year then don't fret -- UBB is planning a 1,110bhp model for November using a new all-alloy 6-litre Ford engine.

Power is channelled to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox with the UBB using a fully adjustable suspension.

The Ford car is designed by Brits but manufactured in California with the first model arriving in the UK towards the end of August. It comes as left-hand drive as standard or you can spec it to be right-hand drive for a £5,000 premium.
