So, nun gibt es auch offizielle Bilder vom red stripe appearance Package:

Yesterday Ford officially released the news via a press release about the new Shelby GT500 Red Stripe appearance package along with a bunch of new photos for each color. The Red Stripe package will begin showing up on 2007 Shelby’s in May and continue till the production stops in June.


Press Release:

- Production of limited-edition Red Stripe Appearance Package for 2007 Shelby GT500 to begin in May.

- Special package includes unique exterior striping and badges, Red and Black leather seating, special interior trim and logos and branded Shelby GT500 car cover.

- 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 tops in segment quality, says RDA Group research—92 percent of owners would definitely recommend the vehicle to family or friends.

Even with demand for the most muscular Mustang ever – the Ford Shelby GT500 – at a record high, Ford is cranking up additional interest with a new, limited-edition package that adds unique visual appeal to the Shelby GT500. Enter the “Red Stripe Appearance Package,” to be available beginning in May.

The Ford Shelby GT500 is the most powerful Mustang on the road today and arguably one of the most successful projects from Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT) in terms of performance, excitement and, importantly, quality.

In fact, early indicators show the Shelby GT500 is a quality standout. In the most recent Global Quality Research System (GQRS) study from RDA Group, an independent research company based in Bloomfield Hills, Mi., the Shelby GT500 earned praise as the highest-quality Mustang model, with the fewest “things gone wrong” in the first three months of ownership.

The Mustang line scores above the segment average in quality, according to the GQRS study, and the Shelby GT500 specifically scored the top result in the “sports car” segment.

“The unmatched quality and power of the latest Mustang masterpiece explains why 9 out of 10 owners are completely satisfied with their overall ownership experience,” the April 2007 RDA Group report concluded.


New Limited-Edition Shelby GT500 Package to be Available Beginning in May

The new Red Stripe Appearance Package will be available on any new 2007 Shelby GT500 Coupe with either White or Black exterior paint. Included in the special-edition package are Bright Red overbody and bodyside stripes, a Red and Black leather interior, unique red-accent exterior badges, including red-tinted Cobra emblems in the grille, fenders, and in the faux gas cap on the rear panel. Even the “SHELBY” letters on the decklid feature red accents.

The Red Stripe Appearance Package also adds unique new premium floor mats with a Red and Silver embroidered “Cobra Snake” logo, plus a fitted Shelby GT500-branded car cover.

The appearance package carries an MSRP of $1,650 and will be available from early May through late June, marking the end of the 2007 model run.

“The red package is all about exclusivity,” said Robert Parker, Ford’s Car Marketing manager. “Our Mustang customers are eager to buy unique vehicles like the Shelby GT500 and will certainly appreciate the opportunity for something even more exclusive, made in an even more limited number. These are great customers and very passionate. I’m glad we can continue to deliver what they want.”


Shelby GT500 is among the Most Successful Performance Mustangs Ever

Enthusiasm doesn’t begin to describe the ongoing demand for the Ford Shelby GT500. In the hyper-competitive auto market where supply routinely surpasses demand, the Shelby GT500 still has a long waiting list of buyers.

The Shelby GT500 was created by racing legend Carroll Shelby and Ford SVT and is a modern interpretation of the classic Shelby Mustang of the 1960s. Beneath the hood of every GT500 – including the new Red model – is a 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 engine officially rated at 500 hp. A 6-speed manual gearbox features evenly spaced gears that help provide a sharp, lively driving experience on both road and track.

In addition to the engine upgrades, Ford’s SVT engineers retuned and upgraded key Mustang chassis components. Improvements include revised shocks, spring rates and upgraded stabilizer bars that help the Ford Shelby GT500 maneuver with authority.

The GT500’s unique design features include wide upper and lower fascia openings with a functional air splitter. On either side, slanting headlamp openings add to the dramatic front appearance. The carefully tailored hood has heat extractors protruding near the leading edge, combining to provide improved airflow and aerodynamics.

The MSRP of a 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 starts at $41,675.

Ghostrider, wär der Weisse nicht was für dich?

[Baumi]

Also wenns die Bolide in Tungsten Grey gäbe würd ich meinen Stang eintauschen.

[Johannes]

Also ich habe im anderen Thread geschrieben, dass ich den Shelby anschauen war. Steht bei US Performance Cars in Spreitenbach. Ist ein schwarzer GT500 Cabrio.

Sieht heiss aus. Obwohl ich nicht so der Cabrio Fan bin. Aber der Motorraum und alles. Cool.
Der hat schon den Roush Carger drin. Cooles Teil.

Na Jen nicht was für Dich mit der Kamera??

Ist momentan für lächerliche 119.000 CHF zuverkaufen. (Achtung Cabrio, nicht Coupé, ich sehe schon wieder den Äpfel Birnen Preisvergleich.)

Der Shelby GT soll im Laufe dieser Woche noch reinkommen.

Der Händler meinte, das Teile ginge für über 70.000€ weg.

Hallo Björn

Diesen GT500 hatte ich im Juli auch vor der Kamera - dann stand er am Dr. Mustang Meeting in Oberhausen. Ich war frühstmöglich dort und konnte ihn ohne die 10'000 Kleber ablichten:










@Johannes: das wär sicher was. Vielleicht lässt es sich ja mit einem sonstigen Besuch verbinden.


Gruss, Jen

[Johannes]

Hmm also eine Kobra wäre sicher was feines, allerdings müsste man die Streifen runtermachen und dann noch Blau lackerien.

Der GT500 in Spreitenbach ist ein Cabrio, ohne Streifen.
Schwarz.


@Tomi
Danke. Nicht weitersagen den Fehler, aber jetzt habe ich was gelernt. By the way weist Du schon wie der Satteltank funktioniert. Ich mache mich mal auf die Suche.

[Jen]

Der GT500 und die endlosen Tunings-Möglichkeiten... leider alle so ziemlich illegal in der Schweiz, weil zuviel Leistungssteigerung. Ich stelle es trotzdem vor.

Es gibt wieder was neues, dieses mal von Ford Racing bzw. Roush:

If you feel the 500 horsepower on a stock GT500 is not enough then check out this new supercharger upgrade from Ford Racing who is introducing a TVS (Twin Vortices Series) 2.3L M140 Roots-type supercharger specifically for the already potent Shelby GT500. The supercharger will come in a kit that includes a new cold air intake system and a Ford Racing hand held programmer. The upgrade will add an additional 120 horsepower and 90 lb. ft. of torque for low price of $5,600.00.

Gibt es hier zu kaufen.

Tja, Geld allein macht eben noch keinen guten Fahrer. Schade um das schöne Auto, wäre sogar meine Farbe gewesen.
