The 2010 Shelby GT500 also features a new cold air intake, adding to the car’s horsepower figures. Bottom line, the designers cut no corners when creating the auto. They even moved the Cobra snake badge to the other side of the grille to permit for maximum air flow. Shelby GT500 demonstrates Ford's continuing commitment to high-performance vehicles," said Derrick Kuzak, Ford group vice president, Global Item Development. "In addition to the several performance and refinement improvements inside and out, the 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is an estimated 2 miles per gallon far more fuel efficient on the highway."
"We're proud of the a lot of enhancements that had been developed jointly by the Ford and Shelby Automobiles team last year that we've now incorporated into the new 2010 Shelby GT500," said Carroll Shelby, founder of Shelby Automobiles. "Building on what we learned to create the Shelby GT500KR, this new car gives a fantastic mixture of power, handling and braking. It is really a special vehicle that's an excellent deal of enjoyable to drive."
Ford's Unique Vehicle Team utilized the gains created on the 40th anniversary edition Shelby GT500KR "King of the Road" Mustangs as the performance beginning point and built from there. The style team, having a nod to the original Shelby Cobras from the 1960s, takes those style cues even further with nuanced improvements in both the coupe and convertible, each of which boasts a more-refined interior.
