Description

The Sound Of Glory is an identical reproduction of the Mustang's accelerator pedal, but with a technology that allows you to attach the pedal to his car and synchronize the pedal via FM dial with any car audio system.

It works with an antenna and a sensor pressure, so every time you step on it, the pedal sends the information to your car’s audio system that automatically reproduces the iconic sound of the new Mustang through your speakers. It´s loud.

Intended to reach an exclusive target, this simple mail delivered the adrenaline of accelerating an amazing car like the New Ford Mustang. An idea made especially for those used to driving a Mini Van.

On the brochure, the target would also find a QR code that would lead them directly to a web where they could schedule a full Mustang experience at their closest dealership.
