SHELBY MUSTANG SHOWS 540 HOOVES







-->
“We're proud of the many enhancements that were developed jointly by the Ford and Shelby Automobiles team last year that we've now incorporated into the new 2010 Shelby GT500. Building on what we learned to create the Shelby GT500KR, this new car offers a great combination of power, handling and braking. It is truly a special car that is a great deal of fun to drive.” - Carroll Shelby, founder of Shelby Automobiles.

In so saying Mr Shelby introduces to us one of the most powerful Ford Mustangs ever built. The car, based on the upcoming 2010 Mustang, will be revealed officially at the North American Auto Show in Detroit next week. It is fitted with a potent 5.4-litre V8 with a supercharger. Shelby produces a pounding 402kW (540bhp) from it.

No performance figures were mentioned so we’ll have to wait a week to unpack this beast a little further.

A few pictures to tantalise you in the meantime.
