Gift Of Drift - Mother’s Day (2023)
Forget Flowers And Brunch. Give The Gift Of Drift For Mother’s Day With The All-New Ford Mustang And Vaughn Gittin Jr.
Formula Drift champion Vaughn Gittin Jr. surprises and celebrates his mom, Dawn, this Mother’s Day in this video, alongside Ford Mustang chief engineer Laurie Transou and her daughter, Claire
The all-new Mustang®* Performance Electronic Drift Braking feature enables drifting experiences for novices and professional drifters alike**
The Performance Electronic Drift Brake perfectly meshes with Mustang’s other performance features, such as Electronic Line-Lock and Launch Control† to create an all-out track monster, even for Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is the time to give thanks to all the moms who raised, believed in and helped guide their kids every step of the way, even if some of those steps include the tire-smoking technique of a professional drifter, like Vaughn Gittin Jr. and his Formula Drift Ford Mustang RTR.
While not everyone is destined to become a drifting champ like Vaughn Gittin Jr., the all-new 2024 Ford Mustang makes it easier than ever to learn the gift of drift, as Vaughn recently did, to thank his mother, Dawn, for her support through the years.
With just a few minutes of practice and coaching, Dawn engages the electronic drift brake and eases the vehicle into a controlled power slide and tons of fun. Maybe Vaughn leaving that IT job wasn’t such a bad idea.
While drifting might run in the blood of the Gittin family, the new electronic drift brake for Mustang unlocks that same performance and confidence across all skill levels.
Laurie Transou, Mustang chief engineer, and her daughter, Claire, join Vaughn and Dawn to demonstrate just how intuitive the performance features of Mustang are. Claire engages Launch Control with just three touches on the screen, and before you know it, she’s racing down the track in seconds.
