Shelby has introduced its new HD edition for the Cobra and Shelby GT 500. The Shelby GT line up features some new specifications in a bid to bring back the high-performance car that it is so famous for. For the Cobra this means a larger block, more efficient exhaust system, new performance clutch, and of course, the Shelby GT 350i spec engine. Shelby has not ruled out the possibility of bringing back the Shelby GT models with manual transmissions in the future. We will have to see.
One exciting announcement made by Shelby is the addition of new Shelby GT 350i and Shelby GT 500i performance parts. The new Shelby GT 500i comes with news Reddish Black metallic body kit, which is lighter than the original colour. The Shelby GT 350i will also come with new paddle-shifts and a longer gear change. Both vehicles come standard with four tires and both have been equipped with new pads and rotors.
Shelby has also announced the addition of the Shelby GT 500i Limited Edition to the 2020 model year lineup. Limited Edition cars feature all-new performance and engineering upgrades, as well as a limited number of two-piece front grilles. Shelby will be making a few dozen limited-edition models for the 2020 model year. It is not known if the Shelby GT will be available with a manual or automatic transmission.
Brakes
Shelby is also updating its brakes and adding carbon fibre front and rear callipers, rotors, and rotors surround replacements. Shelby will add new brake pads to all models, as well as a carbon fibre hood, wheel wells, mirrors, and callipers. The Shelby GT specs do not mention if the brakes and hood will be available from the factory or if the buyer will have to buy them separately.
Engines
Shelby has also upgraded its engines with a new twin-cam high-performance block, upgraded cylinder heads, and a higher compression stroke. The Shelby GT spec sheet mentions a news Reddish Black supercharger that will come as standard. Other engine parts are also listed: an oxygenated fuel system, revised valve trim, and an exhaust featuring two exhaust pipes. All of the changes are designed to produce more horsepower while increasing drippiness, which is another reason why a Shelby GT is so popular. Shelby is looking to challenge the Ford Mustang and Chevy Cavalier by bringing high-performance, sleek styling, and a powerful, sporty engine to the table.
Shelby has also added a nitrous oxide kit to its lineup. Nitrous oxide is a type of advanced motor fuel that is usually used on higher performance vehicles like the Lamborghini Diablo, or sports cars with more powerful engines. Nitrous oxide produces turbo-charged power without sacrificing high-performance and a wide range of tuning features. For those who want to upgrade but do not want to replace their current motor, the nitrous kit can be purchased separately and then installed in place of the Shelby GT Si or Shelby GT Shelby models.
Racing
Shelby also developed a Shelby GT Daytona racecar to compete against its competitors. Shelby has developed a high-performance, street-legal automobile for drivers of all types of conditions and driving styles. Shelby has also developed an engineering program to help develop new ideas and strategies in high-performance automobiles. These programs have helped to make Shelby a serious competitor in the professional segment of racing.
Shelby’s goal is to build high-performance roadsters that can compete with its rivalries in the most prestigious racing events in the world. To this end, it has developed new body lines and a new platform for production. It is also improving the way it builds its Shelby GT Daytona racers by building lightweight vehicles with high-strength steel, using the best materials available and improving its design and aerodynamics. The goal is to build the fastest roadsters in the world, using state-of-the-art engineering and high-performance Shelby parts and components.
