Hertz Penske GT puts a hot Mustang in the airport rental lot

Earlier this year, Penske Racing announced Hertz would become a major sponsor of its NASCAR race team, another in a string of business deals between the rental-car giant and Roger Penske. Outside of a moving truck, most of those deals haven't produced a car anyone would want to drive — until now, as Hertz has revealed a special edition Penske Mustang GT, coming to 15 lucky airports (potentially) near you.

Being Penske, this isn't your stock Mustang festooned with yellow decals. Rather it's a modified Mustang GT, featuring tuned suspension, an upgraded exhaust unit, and a tweaked ECU. It also sports the discontinued Boss 302 Laguna Seca's front splitter and a rear valance stolen from the Shelby GT500. While power figures aren't available, the 420 stock ponies in the GT are sure to be magnified.
