2010 Mustang Performs The Impossible On The Las Vegas Strip
Check out the blog for the details on the last in Ford's '10 Unleashed videos and the link to see them.
World champion drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr. kicked off Ford Mustang’s ‘10 Unleashed campaign by taking the American muscle car to drift the streets of Japan. For the 10th and final installment of the ‘Unleashed’ campaign, Vaughn finds himself in playing a different role.
The 10th experience is not Gittin’s wish; it is Steve Wyrick’s, a famous Las Vegas magician. Gittin, Wyrick and the 2010 Mustang teamed up together to perform one of the biggest illusions to hit the Las Vegas Strip.
“My grandfather’s prize possession in life was a 1970 Mustang Mach 1, one of the sickest cars you could image,” said Steve Wyrick. “Knowing of my grandfather’s love for the Mustang, I wanted to incorporate the 2010 Mustang into one of my acts and unleash my Mustang side by performing one of my biggest illusions yet on the Las Vegas Strip.”
Picture the Las Vegas Strip shut down and a buzz with visitors, casino hoppers and revelers anxiously waiting to witness one of Wyrick’s biggest illusions yet. Shackled by the Las Vegas Police in the middle of the strip, Wyrick embraces what is about to come. Vaughn Gittin Jr. lights up the tires and suddenly races down the strip in a silver 2010 Mustang and slams right into Wyrick. As the Mustang races out the other side, the driver’s door swings open…
“Our goal was to make the final ‘10 Unleashed experience something truly unforgettable,” said Steve Ling, N.A. car marketing manager, Ford Motor Company. “To have Vaughn race down the Las Vegas Strip in Spellbinder after kicking off the campaign by drifting the Mustang around Japan was a perfect ending to a great campaign.”
