“I don’t care where you grew up, everyone knows the Mustang. At some point, you’ve had a conversation about a Mustang – and it was probably one about you wanting to get behind the wheel of one,” said Nelly in a press release. “I’ve always loved the Mustang; the vehicle has power to the point where you can’t help but want to hit the pedal. And the newest one? More power, hotter style.”

The Nelly and Dub customized 2011 Mustang GT will make it’s first appearance as part of the album artwork for the rapper’s upcoming album which is due in stores this Spring.
