This year, the United States will celebrate Mother’s Day on May 14. To prepare its fanbase for the festive weekend, Ford has released a new promotional video of the 2024 Ford Mustang. In the clip, Vaughn Gittin Jr.’s mother takes the driver’s position in the new pony car’s cabin to practice drifting. Because, as the automaker says, there’s no better gift than drift – forget flowers and brunch.
Professional drifter Gittin Jr. was involved in the development of the new Mustang and he helped the company create the new electronic drift brake. While not everyone is destined to become a drifting champion, after just a few minutes of practicing, Dawn, Gittin Jr.’s mother, learns the magic of power sliding the car. Joining Gittin Jr. and his mother in the video are Laurie Transou, Mustang chief engineer, and her daughter, Claire, demonstrating the launch control function on the new Mustang with just three touches on the center display.
