Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible
The 2011 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is the most recent edition of performance perfected by Ford's Special Vehicle Team (SVT) engineers. Featuring an all-new aluminum-block engine, the 2011 model boasts improved driving dynamics and handling, better fuel economy, and a whopping 550 horsepower - 10 more than in the 2010 version.
The new aluminum engine is 102 lbs. lighter than previous generations, delivering a superior power-to-weight ratio and noticeably more precise acceleration, handling, and steering. With its impressive weight savings and innovative technology, the Mustang Shelby GT500 is sure to turn heads.
"Cutting weight to improve performance is a tradition among hot rodders," said Carroll Shelby, founder of Shelby American. "It might not be as sexy as adding more horsepower or bigger brakes, but shaving pounds off of a car is the single smartest move you can make."
"The SVT team continues to push the performance standards of the Shelby to even higher levels and better refinement," said Jost Capito, director of global performance vehicles and motorsports business development. "All the changes we made reflect a desire for even better handling and outstanding driving dynamics - from weight savings to improved balance."
