New Shelby 1000 to debut at New York Auto Show

If power is what you looking for, look no further. Based on the 2012 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500, the new limited edition Shelby 1000 will make its debut at the New York International Auto show in April 2012.

The Shelby 1000 is a Ford Mustang GT 500 on steroids. The process began with Ford’s 5.4 litre V8 engine being stripped to the bone and with new rods, crank and pistons being added. The cooling and exhaust system was upgraded along with a larger supercharger, all contributing to the increase in power. Improvements to the chassis, suspension and breaking system have been made to deal with the increase in power.

The Shelby 1000 is expected to kick out 708 kW in its road version, while the track version will thump out 820 kW.

What do you think of the Shelby 1000?
