1968 Revology Mustang GT 2+2: Full Review

It seems, these days, everyone is out to create the perfect

experience. Some prioritize performance, while others focus on luxury. Maybe some refinement can be found, but I’ve never seen the combination of all three. Well, not until I experienced the Revology Mustang GT. This very special Mustang is based on the 1968 Ford Mustang, but is a ground-up design. It looks exactly like the classic ‘stang we all know and love, but ironically, shares very little with that car. It’s been engineered as a new car, but with meticulous attention to detail down to every curve and line of the body. It’s as close as you can get to an original Mustang, but one that sits on a brand new (completely bespoke) chassis.

The Revology Mustang GT really sits at the apex of mixing old with new. My scale for what a quality re-imagination of a classic Mustang has just skyrocketed. The particular car I tested was equipped with all the Revology goodies, including the creature comfort interior auxiliary window switches (which I found to be odd),

infotainment, and perhaps, most importantly, the six-speed Manual. The cost of the Mustang GT 2+2 by Revology starts at $270,500.

1968 Revology Mustang GT 2+2 First Impressions

A classic Mustang will always turn heads. The Revology Mustang GT is no different. The closer you look, the better it gets. This particular car was finished in a Porsche paint to sample black metallic that seemed to slightly color shift depending on the light. It’s not the brightest colored Mustang I’ve driven, but its presence and stance on the road are enough to garner a hell of a lot of attention. Every stop I made was met with inquisitive passers-by. It’s a car that immediately gets under your skin, just from a curb appeal point of view. Get in, fire it up, and immediately a familiar 5.0-liter rumble greets your ears, and the car transforms from a work of art, to a performance machine with a push of a button.

Driving Impressions And Performance

Driving a Revology Mustang is a surreal experience. You look around, and you see the classic 1960s American dream. This is one of those cars, though, where you can tell it’s going to be a good time in just the first couple miles of driving. I feel very strongly that Revology’s Mustang is the car that

. The truth is most classic Mustangs appear to be works of art but seem to quickly fall apart when you actually get moving.

This is not the case, here. This car drives more like a modern Mustang. With the Tremec six-speed, I can’t help but compare it to a Mach 1 from just a couple of years ago. Inputs and outputs are shockingly similar. That’s massive praise for a car that was developed in-house by a company on the smaller side, but can still rival Ford, themselves, when it comes to Mustang driving experiences.

The steering, suspension, and overall everyday drivability of the car are top-notch. There are no rattles, creaks, or bottoming-out issues to speak of, which is quite rare for a Mustang modeled after a 1960s car. The build quality is one of Revology’s most impressive baked-in features. The doors close softly and with a positive thunk to them, like something out of a ’90s Mercedes-Benz.

Braking And Acceleration

Because of its odd clutch bite point, getting the Revology Mustang going from stationary can be a bit tricky. That said, when you get moving, everything operates like normal. Acceleration in this car is an event. Its loud, but appropriate exhaust note accompanies a vigorous thrust forward, in a dramatic but well-controlled way. It will go as fast as you can shift, which with a Tremec six-speed is easily executed.

The famous 5.0-liter Ford V-8 is at home, here, naturally. The engine is well-tuned with the rest of the car and everything works harmoniously to give consistent, satisfying power. Its comfortable, yet impressive sprint up to speed is something you start to crave from the Revology Mustang. This is key when looking for a modern-operating vehicle.

Braking is equally impressive, with a set of Wilwood stoppers that bite hard and stop the Mustang quickly. I applaud the team for getting the pedal feel spot on, too. Some other kits offer the same performance, but with a compromised pedal feel. This makes the car feel lighter, more approachable, and ultimately safer in more situations. It changes the idea of driving a vintage vehicle, and reminds you that you’re actually in something modern and quite capable.

Performance Specifications

Revology Mustang GT Fuel Economy

Let’s not pretend we are going to expect any Mustang besides an EcoBoost equipped ‘stang to produce any respectable fuel economy numbers. The combined figure for a standard 2024 Mustang GT is 17 MPG, when equipped with a manual transmission. To be safe, since the Revology Mustang GT doesn’t have an aerodynamically optimized body like the modern Ford car does, we can expect that number to drop somewhat.

Interior Design And Comfort

The interior design of the Revology Mustang is familiar, yet oddly more comfortable. Remember, this is an all-new car, so it’s not 100 percent similar to the original. I think it’s better for it. The center console seems to flow through the cabin from front to back better, the interior feels more spacious, and blind spots seem to be diminished.

The seats are very comfortable and stylish. I do wish there was a more performance-oriented bucket available, one that better matches the elevated performance of the car. The steering wheel, pedal placement, and shifter all fall into place perfectly for my driving position, and I believe it could accommodate all kinds of drivers.

All interior materials are high quality, put together expertly, and provide some fun contrasting colors from the light wood to the dark leather. Chrome accent pieces further accentuate that strong contrast within. All the lighting is LED, providing a modern feel at night, especially when the doors are opened. Soundproofing is excellent for this segment, and is bolstered by an interior that doesn’t rattle.

Technology And Ease Of Use

Interior tech is restricted to a set of accurate, digitally backed vintage-style gauges, and a modern aftermarket

infotainment screen. The screen is similar to competitors and is easy to connect to and operate. I do wish there was a simple volume knob as the rocker switch is a bit tricky to hit in a pinch.

As mentioned earlier, there are some interior creature comforts that exist thanks to modern technology. These include a pair of center console-mounted window switches that are used instead of having to lean all the way across the car to operate the opposite side window. The normal window switches appear to be manual, but are, indeed, electrically powered. The modern air conditioning is a welcome addition. Another nifty addition is the electronic parking brake, operated by a rocker switch under the dashboard.

Cargo And Storage Space

Cargo capacity is actually strong for this Mustang. The trunk space has been optimized to encompass more of the car’s interior negative space. Along with the truck, again, a soft closing part, you have a magnetically locking center console, one that sits flush with the rest of the center console, and remains in place with no drama. The last storage area is the standard glove box. This represents slightly more cargo space than you’d find in just about any other 1968 Mustang GT.

1968 Revology Mustang GT Vs. Its Competitors

All three competitors aim to fulfill the dream of being the best possible modern take on the classic Ford Mustang from the late 1960s. Each goes about achieving that goal in vastly different ways.

How The Revology Mustang GT Compares To The Velocity Mustang Signature Series

In just about every aspect, I was impressed with Revology’s Mustang more than The Velocity Signature Series. The Revology team has successfully removed the drawbacks of owning a classic, leaving only the stunning looks. Velocity’s car by comparison leaves some quality on the table. Both cars start around the same price, but the build quality is vastly different. There are rattles, and questionable sounds that come from the Velocity car that just don’t exist in the Revology Mustang.

It’s not a complete loss for the Velocity car, though. I believe there’s a place for both. Having some “old-school” characteristics in the form of unrefinement can be seen in this segment as necessary to be true to the original car. The reality is that both are reliable, supremely quick examples of the

.

Performance

Both cars utilize Ford’s 5.0-liter V-8 found in the current Mustang. Velocity and Revology go about fine-tuning the powertrain and transmissions slightly differently in order to best operate in their platforms. To me, they feel the same. Braking is far more confidence-inspiring in the Revology car, as is the handling. It drives much more like a modern sports car.

Comfort

Comfort is an area where the Revology Mustang excels. The suspension tuning is far better, providing both a smoother ride, but also flatter cornering, offering a more confident experience. Both offer mid-grade seating, and both could benefit from more serious performance buckets. NVH, overall, is lower in the Revology Mustang.

Technology

Both vehicles offer similar infotainment, but it’s the Revology car that offers more creature comforts, and more electronic-based interior features. Tech isn’t a particularly high point anywhere within the segment as the focus is more purely on performance and appearance.

How The Revology Mustang GT Compares To The Fusion Motors Eleanor

Although an Eleanor would be incredible as a showstopper, it’s the Revology I’d want to actually own and drive more often. The beauty of vehicles in this segment is the actual drivability aspect. To that end, none has been executed quite like Revology’s Mustang GT.

Performance

Fusion does offer more available powertrain options, but Revology does offer a supercharged version of the Coyote 5.0 V-8 that matches the supercharged Shelby. Fusion offers a 1,000 horsepower option, though, something that Revology, hasn’t been able to match. Fusion also offers the option of independent rear suspension, something Mustang drivers have long wanted and only just received with the S550 generation. This represents a massive help in putting big power to the ground and maintaining better traction.

Comfort

Comfort is won by the Revology team. I’ve never driven a modern “classic” that is so approachable and damped so appropriately. Sharp bumps are taken care of and the chassis never chatters. Larger bumps don’t upset the car either. You get the best of both worlds in performance and comfort with Revology’s revolutionary chassis tuning. The overall operation of the car is where you’ll find the most significant differences in this segment.

Technology

As with most competitors in this segment, both offer a similar generic aftermarket Apple CarPlay infotainment screen. Tech is not a particular interest in these types of vehicles, but the connectivity is there if needed. It’s a welcome addition I would prefer to see in a Mustang costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Our Recommendation For Which Model You Should Buy

Like most vehicles in this segment, the limiting factor really is your discretion about how much money you’d be willing to dump into what is, essentially, a weekend toy. The Revology is so great to live with, though I can easily see daily driving it. A stand-out feature is the addition of the six-speed manual, and I know it sounds obsessive at this point, but the Tremec unit really does make a difference. So whether you decide to spring for a

or GT Mustang from Revology, just make sure you have it with a manual.
