Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Coming 2010
On the heels of the newly announced Fusion and Taurus; Ford has given us another version of the Mustang Muscle car. The 2008 GT500KR was a special edition car that had a limited run. Well these cars were such a hot commodity that Ford will release a version of this car called the Mustang Shelby GT500 in 2010 built around this wicked ride.
With the new 2010 Chevy Camaro release coming soon which is surely going to set the world on fire; Ford is trying to grab their piece of the market share. This new Shelby will be built on the good points of the KR and will address the shortcomings that have appeared. The clutch will be more user friendly, and the gearing will be adjusted for better gas mileage and also quicker acceleration times.
Also new for 2010 are huge 19-inch forged rims and Goodyear F1 tires. The interior will also get a few need upgrades. There will be racing striped seats, suede wrapped steering wheel, and aluminum accents throughout the dash. The new Shelby will also handle better and provide a quieter ride.
The engine will produce 540 pavement pounding horsepower at a fraction of the GT500KR’s cost. Where the special edition 40th anniversary KR cost upwards of $80k, this new 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 will be between $40k-$50k; which is right in the wheel house of many enthusiasts.
