Don't underestimate it: Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Cobra

There is only one copy built and you can’t see it from the outside, but the car is very extreme. Under the hood there is an engine that produces up to 850 bhp. The car is built as an ode to a legend. Carrol Shelby can be seen as one of the ancestors of racing. He knew how to make a car really fast and he showed this with his Ford Mustangs. He passed away a few months ago but with this car he gets a dignified farewell.

With 850 bhp on the rear wheels it will be hard to accelerate in a straight line. Whenever you hit the gas a smoke screen will appear behind the car. Maybe it is safer that only one copy will be built because only a few people can handle that much power. A huge supercharger is placed to upgrade the original 662 bhp. The car still is a typical American car with a typical American engine which fits perfectly with the life purpose of Carrol Shelby: give a standard looking car as much power as possible. That is exactly what happened to this car!
