Mustang Shelby GT500-H with 900 HP

Joining multiple companies in creating super cars is not uncommon. Such is the case with the recently introduced tuned icon of the American automotive industry, the Mustang Shelby GT500-H.

The car is the result of a collaboration between Shelby and Hertz, and only 25 GT500-H models will be produced. 19 cars will be painted in Shadow Black black, while six will wear Oxford white. Cars will be available for rent in several American cities.

The car got a carbon bonnet with prominent vents, making it nearly 14kg lighter than the base model. Golden lines across the body and along the sills pay homage to the first Hertz Shelby Mustang cars. We should not forget the aluminum rims with high performance tires. Inside, the cabin is adorned with the Hertz and Shelby Americana logos while the dashboard features a plate with the production number of the copy.

Under the hood is an improved Predator 5.2-liter turbocharged V8 engine with 900 hp (662 kW), from the GT500. It will also be the most powerful car in Hertz’s offer.

The Mustang Shelby GT GT-H will also be available as a convertible and fastback. It is a smaller version that will be powered by a standard 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine with 450 hp (331 kW). It will be equipped with a special bonnet compared to the standard Mustang GT with vents as well as a new front grille that will have wings on both sides. It will be mounted on 20-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin tires.

Lamborghini Huracan STO driven by Chris Harris

Automotive journalist Chris Harris is one of those car enthusiasts who has driven almost every car model available in the European market, so his opinion on cars should be taken into account. He recently tested a Lamborghini Huracan that didn’t enchant him as he expected. But what about the Huracan STO?

Although he had previously criticized the Lamborghini Huracan, he still decided to drive his latest model, the Huracan STO. However, he did not hide his enthusiasm here, especially with the engine that sounds like a musical instrument. The new Huracan STO is upgraded with titanium roll cage, magnesium wheels, single piece front end made of carbon fiber, which makes the new STO 43 kg lighter than the previous Huracan Performante.

Under the hood is a 5.2 L naturally aspirated V10 engine with 640 hp (470 kW) and 417 lb-ft (565 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual clutch gearbox LDF. It is lighter than the Aventador SVJ (1,339 kg), reaching 62 mph in 3 seconds with a top speed of 193 mph (310 km / h). It is mounted on 20 “rims wrapped in 245/30 R20 (front) and 305/30 R20 (rear) Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires.

In its category, the Huacan WTO is not that quick. For example, a Porsche GT3 or a McLaren 765 LT cost less and are just as fast. Either way, driving is not numbers. It is about the feelings and connection between the machine and the driver.

At the end of the ride around Silverstone, Harris said that, for him, the Huracan STO is the best Lamborghini ever.
