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.

Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
