BOOK HERO-ERA 1 NOW

The wraps are off after 12 months of undercover activity. The world’s premier historic rally events company, HERO-ERA, who commissioned global world championship-winning motorsport and advanced engineering company Prodrive to transform their rusting 1967 Mustang Fastback, have today launched the result of their collaboration. A state-of-the-art historic desert rally machine to take on major endurance events like the Peking to Paris Motor Challenge.

Launched to the applause of hundreds of historic motor sports enthusiasts at the Bicester Heritage Flywheel event (17th June) attended by some 15,000 weekend visitors, David Richards CBE (Chairman, Prodrive) and Tomas de Vargas Machuca (Chairman HERO-ERA) were watched approvingly by ex F1 driver and Le Mans winner Jackie Oliver as they pulled the wraps off the 400 bhp V8 long-range rally challenger. The stunning car is a result of a meticulous build by Prodrive, a company with World Championship winning pedigree across all motorsport categories.

The muscular rally machine has been painstakingly constructed to cope with the rigours of HERO- ERA’s endurance rallies including the world-renowned Peking to Paris Motor Challenge 14,000 kms and 37 days, across the world’s largest landmass (June 2024). 40 years of Prodrive competition experience are infused in the total ground-up restoration.
