The STEEDA Q500 Ford Mustang That Combines Wild Power and Traffic Laws
Imagine a STEEDA Q500 FORD MUSTANG roaring with its 446-horsepower V8, but fully wrapped in a German police vehicle look. That’s exactly what the TUNE IT! SAFE! initiative brought to the Essen Motor Show 2025, proving that tuning can be legal, safe, and insanely stylish.
Since 2005, under the patronage of the German Federal Ministry of Transport, the TUNE IT! SAFE! campaign educates tuners about modifications within legal standards. The new ambassador is this Mustang GT Fastback, directly supplied by Ford and customized by FIEGEPERFORMANCE with ultra-high-performance Hankook tires. It’s not just for show: it’s a living example of how to boost performance without breaking the law.
Technical Specifications: A V8 That Respects Limits But Doesn’t Hold Back on the Track
The heart of this monster is the 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V8 Coyote engine, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. With 328 kW (446 HP) and torque of 540 Nm, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds and reaches 250 km/h – numbers that overshadow common sedans, all homologated by the KBA (Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt).
- Advanced Chassis: FIEGEPERFORMANCE’s base package with adjustable stabilizers, dual-rate springs lowering the center of gravity by 20 mm, IRS and anti-hop systems at the rear, plus subframe brace and jacking rails for incredible stability.
- Powerful Brakes: Twin-disc brakes at the front with extra cooling, ensuring consistent braking even during intense sessions.
- Tires and Wheels: Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 in sizes 265/30 ZR21 at the front and 285/30 ZR21 at the rear, mounted on ultralight BARRACUDA RAZZER wheels, reducing unsprung weight and improving handling.
The aesthetic? A full silver wrap by FOLIATEC.com, featuring police blue and yellow stripes, Hänsch lights (including DBS 4000 on the roof, front and rear flashers), and SECURLUX films on the windows for shrapnel protection. Add a front splitter, rear spoiler, fender flares, and downpipes – all street-certified.
“This vehicle shows how professional tuning aligns perfectly with legal requirements,” affirms Dirk Kreidenweiß, CEO of VDAT e.V., the German tuner association.
Combined fuel consumption is 12.0 L/100 km (WLTP), with emissions of 275 g/km CO₂. Perfect for those who want performance without excessive environmental guilt. If you enjoy V8s redefining muscle cars, check out how the 383 Stroker Engine transforms classics.

If you modify your car, take note: safety + legality = endless fun. The STEEDA Q500 proves that police can be synonymous with performance, not fines. Head to Essen or dream big in Brazil – tuning like this changes the game.
