"  Hip-hop superstar Nelly has been working on a new album, considered by some to be the most anticipated release of the year. Meanwhile, Ford Motor Company has been developing one of the most anticipated cars of the year\u2014the 2011 Mustang GT. With Nelly and Ford very aware of each other&amp;#039;s upcoming production (thanks to an earlier partnership during the launch of the 2009 Flex), it comes as no surprise that Nelly chose a 2011 Mustang GT to be on the cover this new album. Ford, as you might expect, calls it &amp;quot;a perfect fit.&amp;quot; The 2011 Ford Mustang GT&amp;#039;s new 5.0-liter V-8 produces more than 400 bhp, while getting 25 mpg on the highway. Also, the speedometer has been notched up to 160 mph for a reason. Similarly, the redline has been bumped to 7000 rpm, 500 rpm higher than in the 2010 Mustang GT. Rounding out the mechanicals is an optional Brembo brake package that includes 19-in. alloy wheels and 14-in. vented front disc brakes. Nelly, though, adds his own touches to the car. With 22-in. Pirellis in front and 24s in the rear, along with gloss black paint and flat black racing stripes, he has created one mean-looking Mustang. Says Nelly: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m itching to get behind the wheel of my Mustang and really take it to the streets.&amp;quot; More on the 2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 &amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; Related posts:   Driving Impression: 2011 Ford Mustang GT Performance Package for 2012 V-6 Mustang Gets a New Name: Mayhem Ford Auctioning Off &amp;quot;Blue Angels&amp;quot; 2012 Mustang GT  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
