Shelby bids the old Mustang farewell

Shelby American is seeing off the 2007-2014 model year Ford Mustang in style by introducing a Signature Edition Super Snake upgrade for its GT500.

Engine modifications include the addition of a 3.6 Kenne Bell supercharger and the Shelby Performance cooling kit. As a result the Super Snake’s V8 develops a staggering 850 bhp (633 kW / 861 PS), so perhaps wisely the rear brakes have been improved too.

A set of forged Weld wheels, body stripes, numerous Signature Edition badges and unique floor mats are also part of the specification. For those wanting an even more imposing look, a wide body conversion is a cost option.

Just 50 of the post-title Signature Edition Super Snake packages are being offered. With a price tag of $44,995 each in the United States (excluding the base car), they’re available for both the coupe and convertible. Shelby American is only accepting orders until the end of January 2015, though.

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
