Default Supercars from U.S. Air Force
U.S. Air Force, together with the tuning-studio Galpin Auto Sports, presented two of these supercars, made on the base model of Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger (called X1 and Vapor).
The design is completely stunning, but the most impressive is their interiors. They are designed as a tool to attract young peoples attention.
Ford Mustang - theres a flight stick instead of the steering wheel and the single ejection seat, but the interior of the Dodge Challenger Vapor reminds a cockpit of a fighter jet

How much money can the U.S. military waste? Who cares they look awesome. Imagine what our air force could afford to build? Probably a VN COMMO P.O.S. with an aero body kit and a propellor on it, ahaha.

No thats generally what's in the carpark of 1RTU.

Our defence force builds some awesome stuff, one of which is being detailed on this very forum - see the Bluepower section.

As for the US Stuff, the AV8R Mustang was a good one:
