Sixth generation of legendary American oil-kara Ford Mustang. In the Fastbek coupe bodies and the cabriolet coped the world debut in January 2014 on the International Looks in Detroit, but his forejudices were held on December 5, 2013 (at the same time in six cities in the world - in Dirborene, Los Angeles, Barcelona, \u200b\u200bNew York, Sydney and Shanghai).
Compared to previous models, the car was changed dramatically - it received a beautiful styling, modern technical component, new motors and not available formerly equipment.
In mid-January 2017, American experienced a scheduled update, one of the main innovations of which was the emergence of a 10-speed "automaton" instead of a 6-range transmission. However, on this "Fordovtsy" did not stop and thoroughly smashed the whole car: he was "refreshed" the appearance, the interior was corrected, added new options, modernized the engines and removed the 3.7-liter "atmospheric" line from the line.
Externally "Mustang" the sixth generation is beautiful and fairly modern, but the particle of primitiveness in it is still growing. The streamlined and wide body of the oil-kara with a long hood, low roof line and a short stern of the feed of the "angry" front and stylish rear lighting, which together creates a powerful and insane brutal image. Complete the picture of huge "rinks" wheels with dimension from 18 to 20 inches.
The "sixth" Ford Mustang is available in two body versions - a fast-wing coupe and a convertible with a multi-layer cloth. The "closed" dual hours has 4784 mm in length, 1381 mm in height (convertible 13 mm above) and 1916 mm wide, and the "open" machine is 13 mm higher. Between the axes at the oil-kara "seen" 2720-millimeter distance, regardless of the solution.
The interior of "Mustanga" looks organically and stylish, and as a "thoroughbred" sports car, he reminds the cockpit of the aircraft. A characteristic symmetrical front panel in the central part places an 8-inch "TV" of the multimedia system, the "trapezoid" of the multimedia installation and the quartet of the togglers that control the driving settings. For a passionist multifunctional "bagel" with a three-spoke design "Cylinders" of the speedometer and a tachometer with a color display on-board computer In the middle (in the form of an option is available "hand-drawn" combination of devices with a 12-inch screen and a bunch of settings). In the decoration of the decoration used mainly high-quality materials, but there are plastics with rigid textures.
For the front passengers in Ford Mustang the sixth generation, anatomical chairs with a chain profile, electric drives and ventilation electrical drives, but in powerful versions, they are inferior to the "buckets" Recaro. And in the coupe, and in the cabriolet, the rear seats will be more suitable for children or compact passengers due to a limited stock of space in the legs and above the head.
Volume luggage compartment Mustanga has 408 liters in the coupe of the coupe, this indicator has been reduced to 332 liters due to the co-agent mechanism.
The soft roof of the "open" version is semi-automatic, and its transformation in motion is impossible.
Specifications. For the Ford Mustang of the 6th generation in the European Specification, two standard gasoline modifications were prepared, each of which is 6-speed "mechanics" or an optional 10-band "automatic":
- The basic version of the oil-car is equipped with a 2.3-liter "four" ecooboost with turbocharging, direct injection and custom gas distribution phases, the return of which is 317 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 432 nm of torque at 3000 rpm. With such a "heart", the car accelerates up to 100 km / h after 5.8 seconds and maximizes 250 km / h, and its "fuel vowiness" does not exceed 8-10 liters in mixed conditions of movement for each "honey".
- Podcast space "Topova" version GT. Filled with an eight-cylinder V-engine for 5.0 liters with a combined gasoline injection generating 421 "horse" at 6500 rpm and 530 Nm of rotating traction. As a result, the starting jerk to 100 km / h conquers "Mustu" for 4.8 seconds, and the "maximum" of the possibilities was recorded at 250 km / h. In a combined cycle, the consumption of fuel in the car varies from 12 to 13.6 liters per 100 km of mileage.
Before the update (conducted in January 2017), another unit was also offered - the V-shaped "six" by 3.7 liters with a distributed fuel supply, producing 305 "mares" at 6500 rev / min and 366 Nm of rotating traction at 4000 rev / minute.
The "sixth" Ford Mustang is built on a new "cart", similar to the architecture with the front-wheel drive platform CD4, which "flames" with a fully independent suspension - MacPherson racks with a double hinge system in front and advanced "multi-dimensions" on the subframe from behind. For extra charge, the dual timer is completed with adaptive MagNeride shock absorbers filled with magnetoreological fluid (which before the update was the privilege of exclusively "hot" modifications GT350 / GT350R).
American oil-car is equipped with a roll steering with an electric amplifier, which has three mode of operation - Normal, Sport and Comfort. All wheels accommodate powerful ventilated discs brake system (The dimension of the front mechanisms depending on the version varies from 320 to 380 mm) with ABS, EBD and other modern "helpers". By default, all the performances of Mustanga laid a self-locking rear differential.
In addition to basic performances, there are in the Ford Mustang palette and more "charged" options, and one of them - Shelby GT350.. Along with even more aggressive appearance and some modifications in the cabin, such a car has a lightweight body, an enhanced suspension with adaptive shock absorbers and effective system Brakes with Brembo calipers. But the main thing in it is a 5.2-liter engine V8 Voodoo, outstanding 533 "stallions" at 7500 rev / min and 582 nm at 4750 rev / minute.
An even more interesting version - Shelby GT350R. She is given the same power unit as the car without a literator "R", but at the same time it is even easier, wheels of the wheels are made of carbon fiber, and the functionality includes some "racing" equipment.
Well, the most "extreme" execution of the "Mustang" of the sixth generation - GT King Cobra.. Externally, such oil-kar is no means of its usual "fellow", and the main focus is made on the finalization of the technical part.
In motion it is driven by 5.0-liter "eight" with a drive supercharger, the performance of which will translate for 600 horsepower. In essence, King Cobra is a complete package of motor improvements and other components and units.
Configuration and prices. In the US, Restyled Ford Mustang sales will start in the fall of 2017, and before the countries of the Old World, he will get at the beginning of 2018 (it is possible that its sales will begin in Russia).
In the European market, in particular in Germany, the "sixth" Ford Mustang in the pre-reform solution is sold at a price of 38,000 euros (~ 2.42 million rubles for the current course) for fast-coupe, and the convertible will cost 4,000 euros more expensive. There must be oil to get to Russia, but when it will accurately happen - it is still unknown.
In the "Base", the machine is equipped with family airbags (the cabriolete has five), ABS, a multimedia system with a color screen, a double-zone "climate", a rear-view camera, an electric circuit, a cruise and many other modern "chips".
There are popular cars. There are "fashionable cars". And there are cars that the very fact of their existence personify the whole era. The twentieth century has become a huge time, and, for example, a seriously influenced by the opening of nuclear energy, it was not enough, perhaps, influenced the creation of Mustang Shelby GT 500 to all automatic roads in general. This car has become an ideal for many, it causes a certain mood in the soul even with those who were not yet born in the 60s. Her technical equipment Even according to modern standards, it is impossible to be called modest. No matter how far the automotive industry has stepped over the past forty five years, it remains idle millions.
This car took part in the shooting of many films, but the most memorable was "sobally in 60 seconds." Mustang Shelby GT 500, in a new bodywit, called Eleanor, was the last car in the list of the gang of automobiles. In addition to Eleanor, all cars also received exclusively female names, so that the police could not solve their plan as long as possible. Each of the 50 cars had a code name. Remember what a storm of emotions this car caused from the main character, and what a fateful role she eventually played. It becomes clear why this car with an exciting female name was the last.
There is only 356,000 Mustugs Shelby Eleonor 1967 release. It is so much that year. Of course, it is not a fact that all of them have been preserved, perhaps most of them were sent under the press on the car flesh. Well, the more valuable is the original Eleanor, and not her later copy, the more reason for pride is this car for its owner.
Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 1967 release in action:
"Killed" Original Shelby Eleonor stands in America about $ 70,000, well-groomed - at least $ 150,000. Imagine how much it is, and how they appreciate it, once they are ready to part with. After all, Shelby - "Novodeli", although they have a big power, a lot of "addicts" in the cabin and the appropriate appearance, not appreciated so high.
In this material we will try to introduce you to the case and tell us as much as possible. interesting facts About Eleanor, make a comprehensive review of Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 and spend short excursion In the history of this wonderful car.
History of creating Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500
Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 is the result of the competition between the Ford Concern and the Chevrolet division of General Motors. Model Ford Falcon has become more popular than Chevrolet Cortier. Then Chevrolet decided to furnish Ford, having released Corweir Monza, a small sports car. In an attempt to win, Ford's leadership created Falcon Futura, but he was noticeably worse than Monza. At this point, the design department of Ford realized the need to create a completely new powerful sports carwhich can conquer the market. AND On April 17, 1964, the first Mustang saw the light.
The idea of \u200b\u200bthis car itself belongs to the young vice president of Li Yakoki. He was asked to return to the production of the two-door version of Ford Tander Bird. But, being young and ambitious, he joined the best from Falcon and Thunderberd, embodying all this in the first mustang. It was on April 17 that his birthday is considered, because on this day he was exposed to the World Motor Show in New York. He was so well encountered that he was launched into a series and began to advertise on all leading television and radio stations. On the first day, 22,000 copies were sold. And for a year more than a million! The excitement was such that the future owners even slept in cars, so that they were not sold to someone, while the documents were made. This model was subsequently named Ford Mustang 1964 S. But, of course, the development of Mustang did not stop.
In 1965, Light saw Shelby Mustang GT-350, Senior Brother Eleanor. In this car, the body was somewhat longer, the suspension was upgraded, and the choice of body colors and the cabin increased.
In 1967, Caroll Shelby reappeared his hand to modernize Mustang, and eventually it turned out the most affordable and powerful sports car of those times. From 1967 to 1970, Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 was in America.
Further development of the model
In 1970, for not quite clear reasons, mass production was discontinued. However, in 2006, Carroll Shelby and Ford SVT division (Special Vehicle Team) gathered with the Spirit and continued the production and gradual modification of Shelby Mustang. Mod 2006 Red Stripe has become noticeably more powerful than the 1976 model: 500 against 355 horsepower.
Ford Mustang Shelby. GT 500 magnificently noted his forty-title, releasing the Shelby Cobra GT 500 KR in 2007, which was demonstrated on the Motor Show in New York. Like Red Stripe this modification with a volume of 5.4 liters, but its power is as much as 540 liters. from. This model was released by a limited edition of 1000 copies, the first of which went with a hammer for $ 600,000.
But manufacturers do not stop there. In 2011, the engine power increased another 10 liters. p., With an amazing way to reduce the fuel consumption. In 2011, they just shocked the audience: at Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 installed a turbocharged engine with a volume of 5.8 liters and with a capacity of 662 liters. from. Fuel consumption No grams increased: 9.8 l / 100 km along the highway and 15.7 liters - in the city.
And, do you think this is all? By no means. In 2012, the release of the GT 500 Super Snake model with an 862 liter engine was announced. from. In the same year, shelby 1000 was demonstrated with a 1100 liter engine. from. On the auto show in New York. In the US, such supercars cost within $ 60000, and the delivery to Russia is not yet produced. Be that as it may, for us their price will be significantly higher than for Americans.
Let's summarize
During the preparation of this material, we studied the results. One of the most interesting things was held at the Polygon in Las Vegas on Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 5.4 under the control of one of the leading specialists of the Special Vehicle Team Unit (creation teams special machines, such as autly cars or advanced versions of retro cars, our activity belongs just to the last category) Yos Capito.
The first thing that the test is noteworthy is the wild roar of the "Tabun horses" under the hood. To keep such a powerful car - the case is not easy, for this I had to replace the springs and shock absorbers of the suspension to more rigid, and front stabilizer Mitigate in order to avoid insufficient turnover. After all, more than half of the weight focuses on the front bridge.
Video review Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 1967:
The second, which rushed into the eyes, this is a completely natural susceptibility to Mustanga. How without them with such power! In the protracted priese, the rear axle lies even at 2500 rpm, but it comes to the aid the electronic stabilization system comes to help and slows down when deviating from the maximum predetermined angle.
The third, which was especially noted, this is the fact of the need to keep the car on, asking her mad revolutions. The test driver almost drove to the second, occasionally on the third gear at 6000 rpm. He explains it frequent turns and short straight.
What was his surprise when he gave way to the steering wheel of Jos Capito. Almost the entire check in he spent on the third gear, and the tachometer shooter did not turn the mark in 4000. The master of his case said that so the car moves more smoothly, without sharp drifts, but consistently quickly.
As a result, I would like to say that such a car, of course, is hardly suitable for family trips. But if you are sufficient enough, you do not scare the mad flow of gasoline, and you crave speeds - this car will become your faithful ally.

Mustang Shelby GT500 is a cooperation company Ford Motors with the famous Rider Carroll Shelby, who won in 1959 by the famous 24-hour race in Lemian. This legendary person who is close to the nickname of the old man was (Cobra) laid the beginning of the epochable release of Mustangs with the Shelby's prefix. Thanks to Carrolla Shelby, all the most famous and epoch models of Mustang were built. With his help, Ford has reached dominant positions on various racing competitions in the sixties of the last century. It is very sorry that now it is already not with us, since on May 10, 2012 he died at the age of eighty nine years. But the memory of him lives in our thoughts and as Edsel Ford said, who is the great-grandfather of Henry Ford and a member of the Board of Directors of Ford, which Carroll Shelby will never be forgotten.
Fortress Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is the Ford AC 260 Roadster, whose test was engaged in Carroll Shelby in 1962. Ford requested Shelby to proceed to the development of high-performance Mustang and Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 appears in 1965, and in two years the final buyer is delivered by Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 1967 and therefore the first sale of Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 dates back to this year.
Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 could be difficult and some excitement was created when the buyer occupied his car at night so that he was not sold to someone else, until the check was written out. On Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, the price started from five thousand dollars and the top bar depended only on the financial capabilities of a potential buyer, while the price of an ordinary Ford Mustang began from $ 2400 and the sales were very successful, because only thousand cars were sold in the first four months , and for the year of sales amounted to almost 420 thousand cars.
A little encyclopedic help. The Shelby Mustang model is a high-tech version of Ford Mustang, manufactured by Ford since 1965 to 1970. Shelby is a modified Carroll Shelby Ford Mustang, sold under the Shelby GT brand having a Shelby Cobra logo.
The Mustang model from Shelby GT-500 had a very aggressive appearance and was distinguished by sports charges. The exterior of the car was decorated with simulated air intakes and a large grid of the radiator. Muscular rear wings along with a clearly pronounced line of doors and front wings, create an impressive charismaticness of this model. An still lid of the fueling neck in the style of Lehman racing is installed. An unusual solution to bring exhaust pipes With the right and left side, before the arches of the rear wheels, the sportiness of the car is emphasized. The 1967 model was distinguished from the GT-350 1965 of the increased body length and the more aggressive common style of the car, which was supported by the corresponding power unit. Different colors of the cabin were available, helping to create their own unique interior of the Mustang car from Shelby.
In the famous Hollywood film, Ford Mustang 1967 appears in an unusual body kit. And here we find the answer to the question: why did Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 named Eleanor? The name of this body kit (body-whale) named Eleanor and became the prefix to legendary model. You can buy Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Eleanor in the United States of America without problems, but expensive. The price range on a simple Ford Mustang in the kit begins with 70 thousand US dollars if the car is proposed in a rigorously worn out state. Such a car is most likely simply engraved by the famous body-whale "Eleanor" and is sold to people, the so-called "fans", which are experiencing a strong attraction to simply appearance of the machine.
At Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, the cost varies depending on the state, but it will already be higher than almost twice, since such a car is rare and is very appreciated in the circles of connoisseurs of this brand. Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is impressive, but still loses in appearance, without having tuning bodies, such as Eleonor. Cost original Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, listed in the so-called "Red Book" for Shelby cars, that is, the register of Carroll Shelby, and in good technical conditionmay reach up to 350 thousand US dollars. For such money, you will be provided with a fully converted car from the inside, that is, the appearance will look in retro style, as it was in 1967, but the filling of such an auto line will be all modern, since all the components and aggregates will establish modern, including the engine that Will possess an outstanding power from 540 horsepower.
Such works are engaged in the well-known Tuning Atelier Unique Performance, which has established the release of cars in the "Eleanor" cargo on a wide scale, although competition in this market is very strong. All these machines have the GT500E index and are painted in gray, which corresponds to the color of a similar car in the film "Side for sixty seconds." But to take this niche in the market every year harder and Brazilian tuning studio "Batistics Garage" took the original solution by changing the color combination body paintingAlso installed another power unit and changed some other vehicles of the car. They diluted a big wave of gray clones legendary car From the film with Nicholas Cage, who performed a major role. As a result, it turned out a snow-white beauty, as if conceded from the screen. But first things first.
The history of snow-white Eleanor, who fell into Brazil
Although Mustang and the male race, but Mustang from Shelby in the body of Eleonora is taken to be a girl, oddly enough, but it is. Especially when the car is painted in a gentle white color, which resembles the color of the bride dresses. The machine that fell to Louis Fernando Batista was born in 1967, while driving from the conveyor of one of the number of 356 thousand of the same cars. Meeting with Louis Fernan, the car occurred at auction, where a well-known and respected restorer from Brazil acquired her at the age of thirty-six years. This respected restorer is the owner of the Batistinha Garage tuning studio. The auction value of the machine was so attractive that Louis Fernanov could not resist the purchase, the more the former owner of the car kindly gave together with the car a lot of valuable parts, including the kit for the body of Eleanor.
Louis Fernando has almost started restoring the car, but here it was called to his office and made a very advantageous offer, not subject to refusal. Do not be afraid, since the proposal was not from the mafia, but from one permanent client who learned the acquisition of Batista. The essence of the proposal was that Louis is inferior to the car to the permanent customer at a bargain price, and also makes restoration and tuning machine on the project of the new owner. The owner of the company on Tuning had to agree to all the terms of the interested buyer and the customer. There was a thorough and clear restoration, which is so famous for Batistinha Garage.
Snow Whole Eleanor Creating Idea
Before the appearance of a more charged version of the GT500, a less powerful GT350 model was produced with a 4.7 liter engine, which had a wonderful body cover white colorWearing WimbleDon name. Blue strips were applied to the snow-white body. A distinctive feature of the model was the lack of rear seats, which significantly reduced the weight of the car. Recall that production powerful version GT500 with a 7 liter engine and a capacity of 355 horsepower began in 1967. The mighty 428th block accelerate the car until the first hundred for 6.5 seconds. At the same time, the maximum speed of the machine reached 220 kilometers per hour, and this was quite enough in order to successfully conquer racing tracks and drag strips. Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 features were truly impressive for those times. On the car were installed: improved suspension, improved disc brakes on the front wheels, a modified automatic three-speed gearbox or a mechanical four-step transmission. 1968 was marked by the release of the version of Kr, which had a translation of the "King of Roads". This version was equipped with the legendary engine Cobra Jet with a capacity of 355 horsepower. In 1970, the production of SHELBY GT350 and GT500 car was temporarily discontinued.
Implementation of the Brazilian project of snow-white Eleanor
Specialists Atelier Batistinha Garage & Speed \u200b\u200bShop, starting to implement this project, left the banality and boring the previous restorations of similar cars in gray. This happened the birth of an innovative version - snow-white GT500E, painted precisely in an unforgettable color of Wimbledon, which became a legend.
The body is covered with varnish and elegant blue stripes are applied, having a brilliant blue tint, which has become the main stage when finishing the car exterior. Optics were left original, but xenon headlights were installed to increase light lighting far Light, Additional reduced xenon headlights on the side and another couple in the bumper. Under the hood, it was decided to establish 392 block instead of the native seven-liter 428 block. The new motor was selected from the Ford Racing catalog. The characteristics of the new motor quite match the car: the volume of the engine is 6.4 liters and the power of 430 horsepower. Replacement of the native engine has passed without problems and even further a new unit equipped with a new device - was installed new carburetor Road Remon.
The car underwent so deep tuning that original details Only the rear seats and wheels remained. Since Brazilian bumps are very cunning, then new shock absorbers of Aldan and the protection of the engine of the engine installed on Elechka. The old transmission was replaced by a modified five-speed Tremec EXTRA DUTY gearbox, which is still installed on NHRA Dragers, having a power of about 1,200 horsepower. Powerful brakes 13 and 12 inches added a list of improvements. Installs seventeen-seed wheels with rubber having a size from behind 265/40 and 235/40 in front. The dynamics of the machine improved, allowing to accelerate until the first hundred for almost 5 seconds, and the maximum vehicle speed reached 240 kilometers per hour. Native exhaust system, eating a rumble, was modified by requesting the client and began to make a juicy sound, which is now fashionable among tuning people. Interior Eleanor was transformed in the luxury style: Seats from Rallye, Auto Meter devices, New Sound System Mauro Castro from Bass Audio. The cost of Eleanor after such tuning increased seven times.
