Shelby America is celebrating 50 years of style by
producing 100 cars of 3 famous Mustang variants: the GTS, the GT350 and
the GT500 (the Super Snake). Fifty models of each car will be decked in
white and feature gold stripes, the other fifty will be black and
feature gold stripes.
Since only 300 are being manufactured, the 50th Anniversary editions have become an instant collector's item and each represent a piece of automotive history.
Exterior & Interior
In addition to the gold stripes on the exterior, several other nods
to the 50th anniversary are present in the interior of the cars. The
color gold naturally represents the 50th anniversary and is used in the
premium black leather stitching on the seats plus there is an
embroidered anniversary logo present on the seat backs.
Along with the gold stripes, gold stitching and commemorative
anniversary badge, each Shelby anniversary car comes with special
wheels, car cover, unique VIN number, a special delivery ceremony,
exclusive merchandise and a number of upgrades including 6-piston front
brakes.
The interior isn't the only thing to get a style revamp, the base GTS
and GT350 models both feature matte black wheels (for the black
vehicles) and chrome wheels (for the white vehicles).
The classic 'deep draw' hood, unique rear and front fascias and
Shelby badge all make the anniversary editions a classic beauty to
behold. The GT500 (a.k.a. Super Snake) gets another set of upgrades too:
leather shifter, perforated seat insets and painted rear quarter window
plates amongst others.
Engines
One thing that Shelby didn't upgrade for the special anniversary
edition are the engines. The GTS and GT350s already generate up to 624
HP depending on the chosen version and the Super Snake can deliver 720
HP through its V8 engine.
However, many additional upgrades are available including
superchargers that will boost the performance but the 2012 Shelby GT
50th Anniversary Edition vehicles are all built to perform extremely
well as they are.
