On February 14, Shelby, the famous Ford muscle car modification brand, released the most powerful Shelby Mustang in history in Las Vegas. As a tribute to the founder, this car was named Carroll Shelby Signature Edition, the Carroll Shelby signature series.

This car is equipped with a Ford 5.0L V8 engine, but Shelby has upgraded it in all aspects. A supercharger was added, the original exhaust was replaced with a high-flow Borla exhaust, and a special engine cover was handmade to direct hot air away from the supercharger to avoid heat absorption. In the end, the power of the new car was increased to more than 825 horses, making it the most powerful Shelby Mustang. The transmission system is matched with a 6-speed manual or 10AT gearbox.

Shelby said that it has been working on developing this car for the past two years. In addition to power, the new car has a device added to the front air intake to deliver cold air to the engine and braking system. The fenders have also been specially treated to further cool the brake system.

In addition, Shelby also developed a new wide-body kit for the new car, including a front lip, side skirts, rear spoiler, diffuser, etc. The new car is also equipped with a new electromagnetic suspension, high-performance brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires and forged wheels, etc.

In terms of performance, the head of Shelby R&D said that the body is made of very light aluminum material to form a wide body. Thanks to aerodynamics and good tire grip, it can be used in ordinary cars. It delivers mesmerizing handling performance during intense driving on both road and track.

For the interior, Shelby and Katzkin collaborated to design a special snakeskin pattern, combined with fine stitching, to make the leather seats look particularly unique and luxurious. However, only 50 units of this car will be produced, priced at $127,795.

Currently, there are 8 models of Shelby-modified Mustangs, 6 of which are sold as Shelby models, and two are high-performance models of the Ford Mustang, similar to AMG. Same as Mercedes. Shelby's six models in descending order of power are: Signiture Series 825 hp+, Super Snake 825 hp, Dragon Snake 800 hp, Shelby GT 700 hp, Shelby GT-S ?600 horsepower, and the Shelby?Wide?Body which only has a wide body but no power changes. Among them, DragonSnake is still in the concept car stage and has not actually been launched. The two high-performance Ford Mustang models are the 700-horsepower GT500 and the 526-horsepower GT350.
