Ford Shelby GT500 2010 Saudi Arabia Prices & Specs

Created by Ford's SVT team, the updated-for-2010 Shelby GT500 is the most powerful car you can buy at its price. Powered by a supercharged and intercooled 5.4-litre DOHC V8 engine, it comes with a 6-speed manual,and a new final drive ratio changed from 3.31 to 3.55 for better acceleration. For 2011, Ford switched to an aluminium engine block, making it 55 kg lighter while adding 10 hp. Features include a twin-disc clutch to improve driveability, a resonator to reduce the supercharger whine, a domed aluminium bonnet to help in cooling, and a conical air filter for better breathing. The suspension system remains independent at the front and live-axle at the rear. Brakes, suspension and steering have also been improved. The GT500 gets Goodyear F1 Supercar tyres and aluminium wheels. The coupe gets forged 19-inch rims while the convertible gets cast 18-inch ones. A redesigned front splitter, a revised duck-tail spoiler, and a fake rear diffuser housing large dual exhaust tips complete the exterior package for the beefed-up facelifted Mustang. The interior uses genuine leather, real aluminium trim and upscale Alcantara inserts. Convenience features include Ford's SYNC voice-activated hands-free in-car communication and entertainment system, Bluetooth, power windows and mirrors, customisable ambient lighting and cruise control. The GT500 also features safety devices such as stability control with sport mode, ABS, dual front airbags, side-impact airbags and more. It might be available through special order in GCC markets.
