The Wisconsin custom house is known across the globe. It has a highly technical and artistic design. Their newest car, the “Kingpin” Mustang, proudly pays homage to American culture. This 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1, which was inspired by SEMA 2025, combines modern engineering with classic design. The idea is based on Ringbrothers’ philosophy. It is about combining traditional style with modern performance. This model shows that the restomod market is technologically advanced and is also a display.
The Kingpin is a mix of old-school style and modern aggression. A longer wheelbase and larger bodywork make the car more aerodynamic and stable. Every curve and surface shows off the Mustang’s history and performance. The Kingpin proves that there is still a need for high-performance combustion symbols in the electrified restomod industry.
Aggressive Design Meets Useful Craft
The Kingpin’s design was based on movies. The ringbearers based their look on a famous movie character. The car still maintains Mach 1 proportions, but it has been improved to have greater attitude. The bodywork grows two inches in the front and three and a half inches in the back. Longer wheelbases make the car more stable and help the muscles work together better.
Black paint with a gloss finish is both scary and classy. In dark colors, brake calipers and badges with little green accents stand out. The carbon-fiber diffuser, hood, grille surround, and splitter make the car lighter and better at cutting through the air. Functional venting distributes airflow for cooling and efficiency in 3-D printed taillights. These changes show that Ringbrothers can blend art and engineering. This makes the Kingpin both a performance machine and a collectible.
Brand and Driver Identity Detailing the inside
The Kingpin is made of high-end materials and cutting-edge technology. The black leather upholstery makes the cabins seem quite high-end. A patterned textile stripe along the middle of the seat adds interest. This is done without breaking up the solid color scheme. The custom billet gearshift, crushed-carbon steering wheel, and green dash accents all help. They make the brand stand out. Digital gauges have a layout. That seems old yet works well with contemporary technology.
3D-printed brightwork illustrates how accurate production can be. It also shows how flexible design can be. It seems like each section was created for a small number of items instead of a lot of them. Roll cages make the automobile safer and stiffer, which helps it perform better in sports. The modest branding throughout the cabin adds to the Kingpin narrative. That makes it a one-of-a-kind investment. Collectors and enthusiasts feel that this level of polish is necessary for a long-lasting restomod.
Design the 800-HP Coyote Experience
A specialized powertrain is beneath the hood. The Wegner Motorsports Coyote 5.0-liter V-8 has a lot of mechanical power. With the Whipple supercharger, the engine can produce close to 800 horsepower. This setup gives the best performance while still being responsive. A six-speed manual Bowler gearbox gives power only to the rear wheels. That offers the driver control.
The car’s custom headers and Flowmaster exhaust give it a distinctive sound that is part of its brand identity. Fox RS coil-overs with settings that can be changed one at a time make the ride more balanced. Independent front and rear suspension makes it easier to steer around corners. Brembo multi-piston calipers stop effectively when you drive strongly. The Kingpin’s mechanical package makes it work as well as it looks, which sets it apart from versions that merely look good.
Positioning in the restomod market
The premium restomod market is becoming bigger. People like cars that appear old yet work well in the present. Ringbrothers works in a high-end market and makes projects with a lot of intricacy and performance. The Kingpin’s Mustang history and strict engineering back up this point of view. People who love cars, stick with brands, and invest in them enjoy it.
It’s still crucial for these kinds of projects at SEMA to get industry approval and be shown all across the globe. Ringbrothers goes back to their emotive beginnings at SEMA 2025 by going back to American muscle. This method makes the brand more valuable and appeals to those who want things to be real. The Kingpin’s analog driving experience distinguishes it in a market where technology evolves all the time.
Legacy through Craft and Dedication
The Kingpin took more than 5,500 hours to make. You need to be cautious with your money when you work on elite restomod projects. We looked at how each element looked and how it added to the overall design. This level of craftsmanship makes affluent car collectors trust the brand and want to buy it.
Ringbrothers strengthens their long-term market position. They do that by blending brand history with new ways to increase performance. Kingpin is more than just a vehicle; it stands for everything the firm stands for. The electrification transforms the industry. Projects like the Kingpin show how creative combustion can be. Ringbrothers shows how bespoke automotive design is still popular in the 21st century by combining old and new styles.
