If the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500
isn’t enough for you, Shelby American has the answer with the launch of its
limited-run Carroll Shelby Signature Series Ford Mustang capped at just 50
units across North America.
The car, being presented to the world at
the National Automobile Dealer Association Show in Las Vegas on February 14, is
outfitted with a modified 5.0-liter V8 engine featuring a Whipple supercharger
to pump out no less than 825 HP, a healthy 65 HP more than the GT500.
Customers can still opt to have this
engine mated to a manual transmission, with the automatic ‘box also being
available. Additional performance-focused modifications made to the Mustang
include beefier half shafts, the Ford Performance MagneRide handling pack,
Shelby performance tires, Borla exhaust system, a Brembo brake system with
six-piston calipers at the front and four-piston calipers at the rear, and a
Shelby-exclusive brake and bearing duct cooling system. The car also sits on a
set of striking 20×11-inch forged aluminum wheels.
A number of tweaks have been made to the
bodywork of the pony car including a revised front fascia with new air intakes,
aluminum front fenders with air extractors, a ram air hood, a custom rear
diffuser, and a new rear spoiler. There’s also custom badging, striping, and
tinted windows. Modifications continue inside where the Signature Series
Mustang includes new leather and suede seats as well as distinctive floor mats.
The 2020 Carroll Shelby Signature Series
Ford Mustang isn’t cheap as you would expect, commanding a starting price of US$ 127,795.
