Feel the roar of a greener Mustang at the festival of motoring

This year’s Festival of Motoring at Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, from August 29 to 31, promises a showstopper like no other – an iconic Ford Mustang 5.0 GT that’s been reimagined to run on LPG Autogas.

Yes, you read that right: a greener Mustang, still delivering the spine-tingling roar and raw power fans know and love.

Visitors won’t just see it. They’ll get the chance to experience it in action with select fans on track laps, available in the MasterDrive pit area.

RMI GreenDrive proudly celebrates this milestone event, made possible through the generous support and expertise of our valued sponsors.

“This Mustang proves you don’t have to sacrifice performance to go green,” said Attie Serfontein, national director of the Automotive Remanufacturers’ Association (ARA), an association of the Retail Motor Industry Organisation.

“With a 328kW V8 engine, 0–100 km/h in under five seconds, and a top speed of 250 km/h, one litre of LPG is approximately 40% to 50% cheaper than a litre of petrol!

It is also a greener fuel; when running on LPG, your vehicle emits up to 21% less CO2 and up to 95% less fine particulate matter compared to petrol.

“Engines running on LPG also produce much lower NOx emissions compared to engines running on diesel. It’s the perfect showcase of how alternative fuels like LPG can power the future of motoring.

“The Mustang forms part of the RMI’s GreenDrive initiative, exploring alternative fuel options that are kinder to the environment.

“The GreenDrive initiative reflects our commitment to sustainable technologies while still celebrating the thrill of driving,” added Ipeleng Mabusela, RMI CEO.

It doesn’t stop there.

Supporting RMI’s GreenDrive, MasterDrive is adding another eco twist by offsetting part of the Festival’s fuel use through tree planting with local NPO Greenpop.

“It’s about creating real impact,” explained Eugene Herbert, MasterDrive CEO. “While festival-goers enjoy the rides, we’ll be giving back to the planet.”

So, whether you’re a petrolhead, a family looking for a thrilling day out, or simply curious about the future of motoring and the benefits LPG provides – such as saving on fuel costs, more environmentally friendly mobility, easy tank-filling procedures, no power loss, and additional driving range – make your way to Kyalami.

The Mustang will be waiting – greener, meaner, and ready to roar.
