Every year, SEMA delivers some crazy cars such as a Hellcat-powered Prius and heavily customised sports cars, but nothing like this Mustang. 

When it comes to modified Mustangs, they're usually the same, with power coming from a Ford V8, but this example, named 'Corruptt' has a Ferrari V8 under the bonnet

Purchased on eBay, the unit is a hybrid F136 engine, with the bottom end from an F430 and the intake of a California, plus two turbochargers.

Stock, the engine is making 373kW, but with the added turbos, power is said to be increased to 522kW.

Built by American Legends, a workshop that specialises in muscle cars, every inch of this pony has been modified, but without ruining the classic '68 look.

Through a Bluetooth system, the car can be controlled via an iPad, which can open the doors, turn on the air conditioning and fire up the V8.

It isn't a video game though, you still need a steering wheel to drive this 'Stang.

Is this the coolest build at SEMA? Let us know in the comments.

Following a passion shared by his father and grandfather, Mitchell’s love of cars really kicked off with his Godfather’s purchase of a new Mazda RX-8. Exposure to that car changed his world forever, leading to an RX-7 obsession. To feed his automotive addiction, Mitchell decided to become a motoring journalist and made his mark at several high-profile motoring publications before landing at CarsGuide. While he is a rotary loyalist, Mitchell also has a massive love for Aussie muscle cars, and dreams of one day getting behind the wheel of a Charger R/T E49 (if anyone will let him). His other passions include Queensland, and spending Saturdays with the boys.
