Added horsepower, more refinements and additional functionalities are what
customers can expect from the new 2010 Shelby GT500 when it rolls into
showrooms this spring. Powered by a supercharged and intercooled 5.4-liter
dual overhead cam V-8 engine, the 2010 Shelby GT500 is expected to produce
540 horsepower and 510 foot-pounds of torque. The redline is 6,250 rpm.

The Shelby GT500 is the most-robust design and most-distinctive model of the
new 2010 Mustang lineup. Ford's Special Vehicle Team (SVT) developed the
vehicle jointly with Shelby Automobiles, using the gains made on the 40th
anniversary edition Shelby GT500KR "King of the Road" Mustangs as the
performance starting point. Key advancements include:

* Instead of a flat-panel closed system to reduce air restriction, the
Shelby's open-element air induction system features a conical air filter,
allowing more air to be pumped through the engine, and resulting in more
power and increasing the engine's efficiency.
* The 2010 Shelby GT500 offers customers new gearbox enhancements,
plus a standard 3.55:1 rear axle ratio, mean the 2010 Shelby GT500 will
deliver improved acceleration performance, while providing better highway
fuel efficiency.
* Shelby's distinct growl is still there, though with new refinements
by the Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) team, unwanted noise is kept in
check through a patented resonator placed between the air filter and engine
throttle body.
* Aggressive new exterior design features new functional details, such
as the hood extractor to remove heat from the engine and "Gurney Flap"
spoiler to tune rear downforce; world-class materials and craftsmanship
create the most unique GT500 interior yet.
* Driving dynamics also are improved, thanks to SVT's signature
chassis tuning as well as new 19-inch Goodyear F1 Supercar tires and forged
aluminum wheels on the 2010 Shelby GT500 coupe and 18s on the convertible.
Numerous aerodynamic upgrades, including a redesigned splitter, were made to
the front end of the 2010 Shelby GT500.
