Out in Monterrey, California today, Ford board member Edsel Ford II, marketing chief Jim Farley and Shelby American president John Luft took the wraps off a one-off 2013 Shelby GT500 built as a tribute to the late Carroll Shelby. The car, built by “Friends of Carroll” has been dubbed the Shelby GT500 Cobra and is painted in the traditional Guardsman Blue with Wimbledon White stripes that graced many of the original Cobras of the 1960s.
It’s not the just the paint that sets this particular car apart from run-of-the-mill GT500s, that is if you can call a 662 hp Mustang run-of-the-mill! This car’s rear haunches are several inches wider than any standard Mustang that rolls out of the Flat Rock Assembly Plant.
Within those swollen wheel arches are 20-inch wheels that measure 10-inches wide in front and 13-inches wide at the back. Those back wheels are wrapped in 345-section rubber to help put the output of the engine to the road.
Speaking of the engine, the GT500’s already stout 5.8-liter V8 has had it’s normal 2.3-liter Eaton supercharger replaced with a 4.0-liter Whipple blower from the Ford Racing catalog.
The GT500 Cobra will be on display at the Ford pavilion at the Rolex Historics this weekend where the original Cobra is the featured marque this year. It will then go on tour throughout the fall before it gets put to an as yet undisclosed special purpose according to Jim Farley.
Twenty-odd years ago after I finally earned my engineering degree, I decided to treat myself after five years of driving an old GMC S15 back and forth to school every semester.
After debating whether to go for a new Miata, I put an order down for what was at the time the quickest Mustang available, the 5.0 LX notchback. It had all the go-fast goodies of the GT minus the extra dead weight of the body kit and with far superior body rigidity. My first 'Stang served me well for nearly 8 years until getting Max in an out a car seat in the rear just became too much hassle.

The 2013 Shelby GT500 now has a standard launch control system that lets drivers easily adjust the desired engine rpm for a quick getaway. Unlike many of the other overly complex systems out there, drivers can engage launch control with a single button tap.

Inside Line speculatively renders what they think the next generation Mustang will look like. Rumor has it that heavily retro 60s-inspired look of the current S197 Mustang will give way to a modern style that draws heavily on 2011 Evos concept.
This new rear drive platform is expected to include the first independent rear suspension since the previous generation SN95 Cobra. Hopefully this new model will benefit from the weight reduction efforts going on throughout the Ford lineup.
I like this direction, still looks like a Mustang but brings the design into the 21st century. What do you think?
