The 627hp 2015 Shelby GT Mustang Is Put Through Its Paces On Track

Throughout its long history, the Shelby name has been synonymous with the Ford Mustang. Half a century after the first car hit the streets, the fastest Shelby GT in history is going through final testing ahead of first deliveries in the second quarter of 2015.

The 5.0-litre V8 can be specced up to make 627hp or 700hp with a little help from a supercharger, while a performance handling kit helps out in corners. Further grip comes from a set of Weld Racing wheels wrapped in sticky Michelin rubber. The exterior has also received a going over, with carbonfibre aerodynamic components fitted, as well as a carbonfibre bonnet.
