Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake Interior
The
interior of 2012 GT500 is one thing that stays fully untold until its launching
in 2011 New York Auto Show. But it’s rumored that the “Shelbyness” interior
ambience will blend out with Shelby signature headrests and floor mats, and all
the instruments panels. Two-tone leather will expose the interior, giving it a
sporty and macho look. 2012 GT500 will also be also equipped with Recaro seat.

Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake Engine
One
of the most obvious upgraded is discovered under the hood. Four years ago the

years later, the brand new V8 can produce over 750 HP and 590 ft./lbs. of
torque out with 170 mph of top speed. If you still can’t get enough of all its
brutal power, with the optional upgrade, the power can be kicked up to a
monstrous 800 horsepower. The Engine is paired with a 6-speed manual
transmission with 3.73:1 rear axle ratio and short-throw shifter.
