Queen Latifah for Ford Mustang
From Ford:
The Queen made a wish and Ford Motor Company delivered. Twenty year-old NASCAR phenom Colin Braun brought award-winning musician and actress Queen Latifah a 2010 Ford Mustang and schooled her in how to drive the iconic muscle car like a pro. Latifah, already a proud owner of a ’65 Mustang, wished to drive the car in the extended music video for her new song “Fast Cars.”
“There are certain cars throughout history that have their own identity. They become synonymous with feeling and energy, an event in your life,” says Latifah. “A Mustang is a Mustang; the car is timeless.”
Latifah received her pro driving lesson and 2010 Mustang by participating in “The ‘10 Unleashed” promotion, which asks people to describe their ultimate Mustang dream experience in 250 words or less. A video diary chronicling her exhilarating lesson from Braun will be featured starting today at www.the2010mustang.com.
“Queen Latifah is a fabulous actress and musician, but more importantly she stays true to herself,” says Ford Mustang Communications Manager Patricia Piedrahita. “That’s what the Mustang is all about – style, power and individuality. When Queen Latifah told us she owned a classic Mustang and wanted a new one for her ‘Fast Cars’ video, we saw the perfect fit.”
On June 24, 2009, Latifah took a detour from promoting her new album to head to the New Jersey Motorsports Park, where Colin Braun and the 2010 Mustang were waiting for her. “Are you ready,” Braun asked her. She held on tight while he white-knuckled her through a few hot laps and then Latifah joked, “It’s time to conquer this track,” before she threw on her own helmet and experienced the raw power and handling of the new 2010 Mustang.
“I’ve been a little jealous of people riding around town with their Mustangs,” Latifah said. “Now I got one. No more jealousy. They can eat my dust.”
Latifah’s dream come true is brought to life through the video chapters available at www.the2010mustang.com.
