2010 Ford Mustang 2-door SHELBY GT500 Convertible

Alpha stallion in the factory Mustang corral, the Shelby GT500 takes its name and performance influences from racing legend Carroll Shelby but brings a full measure of design and engineering development magic from Ford's SVT (Special Vehicle Team) operations. As before, it couples unique styling with performance and handling that take it well beyond the Mustang GT, whether in coupe or convertible configuration. In 2010 guise, the Shelby's supercharged V8 boasts a heady 540 horses – 225 more than the GT's naturally-aspirated alternative. Despite that bountiful power and formidable dynamic capabilities that make it a natural adversary of vehicles like the Chevrolet Camaro SS and Dodger Challenger SRT8, this fearsome Ford also packs a magnum load of comfort and convenience touches that allow it to serve equally well as a daily driver.

For any Blue Oval fan with overt Shelby leanings, the wide-ranging visual and functional upgrades to the new-and-seriously-improved 2010 GT500 will both surprise and delight.	Power has its price, literally; and many Mustang fans may find that a standard GT offers a far better value for their needs. The Shelby GT 500's diminutive rear seat also suffers from the same space limitations as its less-potent kin.

Redesigned for 2010 along with its less-intensive Mustang kin, the Ford Shelby GT500 gets an even bolder look, loads of new tech touches and handling enhancements plus a more potent yet more fuel-efficient V8.
