Shelby-Inspired Performance, Proven by Ford Racing
The Shelby GT driving dynamics are fine tuned with the Ford Racing Handling Pack, which was
developed by same engineers that developed the Ford Racing FR500C, which won the 2005
Grand-Am Cup Championship. New coil springs drop the overall ride height by an inch-and-a-half
for a more aggressive stance and reduced body roll. Stiffer dampers and front sway bar further
enhance cornering feel and body control. To showcase the key performance modifications, Ford
Racing painted all the key suspension components, including the damper, spring, and sway bar
Ford Racing Blue.
A front strut-tower brace adds additional strength to the chassis structure, and 235/55 ZR18
high-performance tires maximize the benefits of the chassis upgrades.
Under hood, the Ford Racing Power Pack increases the output of the naturally aspirated,
three-valve, 4.6-liter V-8 to 325-horsepower, and 330 pound-feet of torque. The Power Pack includes
a 90 millimeter cold-air intake and a new performance engine calibration for improved response.
The high-flow exhaust system with X-pipe crossover offers better power delivery and a throaty V-8
exhaust note. A shorter rear-axle ratio is installed to capitalize on the Shelby GT coupe's extra
power, especially accelerating off the line. For Shelby GT models equipped with a manual
transmission, a Hurst short-throw shifter is installed for more precise shift action.
The Shelby GT will be offered only as a coupe, and only in two exterior colors, Performance White
or Black. Both colors are accented by silver LeMans-style racing stripes - a signature detail of
classic Shelby Mustangs. The LeMans stripes extend over the hood, roof, and trunk, and are
complemented by matching side stripes with "Shelby GT" nomenclature.
The powerful face of the Shelby GT features a unique front fascia, with a more aggressive lower
air dam. The brushed-aluminum grille is accented by an offset Mustang logo. In addition, the
Shelby GT has a new hood scoop that comes directly from the famed Shelby Cobra roadster. The
side profile features chrome-finished 18-inch wheels and unique side scoops just before the rear
wheel arches. The rear fascia frames the larger dual exhaust tips, and is topped by Shelby badging
on the trunk lid.
Inside, features include 'Shelby GT' logo floor mats and custom sill plates with Shelby GT
nomenclature. In addition, the Shelby GT features an authentication plate on the center
dashboard, as well as matching tag underhood. This tag features the CSX number, which is
recorded in the Shelby Automobiles registry.
