More Horsepower Unleashed With New ROUSH 427R Mustang

LIVONIA, Mich. (Sept. 5, 2006) - Yet again raising the standards in the Mustang world, ROUSH Performance unveiled the new 427R model with a total of 427 horsepower under the hood and ready to unleash with the turn of a key. This is the most horsepower ever offered on any version of the ROUSH Mustang.

The number 427 has been intertwined in the Ford product line for many years, both as a car model and one of the most powerful and legendary engines in their line.

2007 Shelby GT Mustang: Small Block Dose of Modern Shelby Mustang Magic

DEARBORN, Mich., Aug. 13, 2006 - Today, Ford debuts the all-new 2007 Ford Shelby GT through a behind-the-scenes look at the high-performance Mustang's development on its "Bold Moves: The Future of Ford" web-based documentary (www.fordboldmoves.com). On Wednesday, Ford confirmed production of the Shelby GT as one of 9 new product introductions coming in the next 6 months for Ford and Lincoln Mercury. The Shelby GT will feature a 4.6-liter V-8 producing 325-horsepower and production will be limited in volume therefore assuring its exclusivity like all Shelby Mustang models.

"Our goal is to offer a steed for every need," says John Felice, Ford brand general marketing manager. "The new Shelby GT is a low-volume, extremely collectable Mustang for enthusiasts. It also offers a few more customers the opportunity to experience firsthand magic of Mustang and Carroll Shelby."

The Shelby GT is the third modern Shelby Mustang produced through a collaboration of Ford and Shelby Automobiles. In addition to the 2007 Shelby GT500, Ford and Shelby created 500 copies of the Ford Shelby GT-H, which are available only through select Hertz rental centers.

2009 Camaro is a Go

August 11 - It looks like the Mustang will have another competitor - again. Among forty company 'treasures' that GM will be showing at this year's Woodward Dream Cruise, one will be a special car of tomorrow - well, maybe next year or the year after that.

There is no doubt that the spectacular Camaro Concept captured the hearts and minds of enthusiasts across the nation, following its debut at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

GM Chairman and CEO , Rick Wagoner, announced yesterday in Traverse City, MI, that the company has green-lighted the concept for production. It will likely appear as a 2009 model year car. Pricing was not announced.

Ford Confirms New Shelby GT

The news is now official. Ford Motor Company is teaming up with Shelby once again to deliver a production version of the Shelby GT-H, dubbed the Ford Shelby GT.

The 4.6-liter, 325-horsepower Ford Shelby GT will occupy a niche between the Mustang GT and the Ford Shelby GT500 both in performance and appearance. It is a retail version of the Ford Shelby GT-H Mustang developed for Hertz that was the surprise hit of the 2006 New York International Auto Show.

"We know the combination of Mustang and Shelby is magic, and we proved it again when we revealed the Ford Shelby GT-H. The car received such rave reviews that our dealers and customers asked for a version of their own," Fields explained. "We listened, and we're delivering."

The Ford Shelby GT will be on sale in January. Ford will reveal full product details this Sunday on its "Bold Moves: The Future of Ford" web-based documentary (www.fordboldmoves.com).

Macho Shelby GT500 is most affordable performance coupe

Detroit News has reviewed the 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500.

There's no doubt that the Shelby GT500, the most powerful factory-built Mustang ever, has a lot of bite. The new rear-wheel-drive coupe, which was developed by Ford's Special Vehicle Team and draws its inspiration from the Shelby GT500 of the late 1960s, is on sale now.

The hyper-aggressive theme runs through the revised cobra logo to the car's 500-horsepower 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 engine and its over-the-top styling. The car's strutting, macho look includes a gaping grille that is more aptly described as a maw, since it gives the vehicle the appearance of a voracious animal set on swallowing up everything in sight.
