2007 Ford Shelby GT500
June 12th, 2006
The collaboration between Shelby and Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT) is yielding an instant collector’s Ford Shelby GT500 that builds 500 horsepower in its 5.4-liter supercharged V-8.
True to the original Shelby GT500, it will be available both as a coupe and as a convertible when it goes on sale in the summer of 2006.
“It’s one thing to put 450 horsepower in an exotic supercar,” says Shelby. “It’s another to put that much power in something as affordable as a Mustang. The fact that they not only met their goal but pushed on to 500 horsepower is a remarkable achievement.”
