Ford remembers Carroll Shelby GT500

The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance After the BMW Zagato Roadster, Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe Aviator and the McLaren X-1 delivered another remarkable project. Meet the GT500 Cobra, a brute to commemorate the recently deceased Carroll Shelby.

Last May, left the Texan Carroll Shelby's life at age 89. The former driver, car designer and developer has over the years always had much influence on the most potent vehicles from the Ford portfolio and why does the American manufacturer to legend, once with a special Mustang. The unique specimen was prepared on the basis of the new GT500, but that even up to 650 hp has a monopoly. The brutal V8 with Ford Racing came to life even further and now sends 850 hp to the rear wheels. More specifications are unfortunately not.

Guardsman Blue
For the special edition Ford has teamed beaten with Shelby American. The team provided the muscle car of a unique hood, a wide body kit on the rear and brand new 20 inch wheels. In addition, the same bodies finished in Guardsman Blue with Wimbledon White stripes as much as Cobra’s in the 60s were delivered. Historical optimum sound so, this GT500 Cobra.
