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.
