When you see it ripping through the streets, you're going to need to take a second look. When you hear its 550-horsepower supercharged V8 engine rev up, you're going to need to subdue your excitement. The 2012 Ford Shelby GT500 has arrived, and there is no other vehicle like it on the road.
If you're interested in the Shelby GT500, it says a lot about your personality. It says you're not interested in the baseline normal, and that you strive to be the best, do your best, and drive the best. This powerful mean machine makes for an ultra sporty ride with its Tremec 6-speed manual transmission. Enjoy advanced security with AdvanceTrac Electronic Stability Control, the LATCH system for children, remote keyless entry, and Ford's Personal Safety System, as well. The muscular exterior will get you noticed on the road with its handsome styling, "SHELBY" badging on the rear decklid, over-the-top "racing stripes" and "GT500" side stripes, signature coiled Cobra badging, and a sporty rear spoiler on the rear decklid. HID headlamps with integrated park/turn lamps and dual stainless steel exhaust tips are also included. The Shelby sits high atop huge 19-inch aluminum wheels, complete with Goodyear's Eagle F1 Supercar tires.
Enjoy the feel and exhilaration of driving inside a real sports car, with seating for four upon leather sport bucket seats with racing stripes coordinated to the exterior stripes and Alcantara Suede accents. The leather and Alcantara Suede steering wheel comes with the tilt feature for your comfort and unique thumb pads, as well. Maximum entertainment is provided with the Shaker 500 system with 8 speakers, Ford SYNC, SIRIUS satellite radio, and powerpoints.
