Rada to present: Ford Mustang. Shelby GT350 is a corona dish of American cuisine. Copy the money earned money, climb into credit debts, sell your bodies, but buy this creation of the car industry. For a trunk engine, athletic appearance, for the plague brakes, for ... and at least for which, we live once, and Shelby GT350, unlike drugs, is absolutely safe!
Buy New Shelby Mustang GT 350 to order possible with a 5.2-liter atmospheric pulsating heart V8: 526 horses, 581 nm, standard distributed injection without doping in the form of an additional inflated, or ecological salisant by the "Start-Stop" type. So that you get a truly fast jump, Ford engineers used flat crankshaftwhich allows you to unwind the engine, like a near-tub station - its cut-off stops at 8250 rpm.
What is important, torque is growing very easily. After all, under the right foot, it turns out to be as if instead of the accelerator pedal real blacksmith fur. You press it, and the unknown flame causes everything to grieve and boiled. No more pleasant sound for connoisseurs of speed does not exist. The sound is that even in the bottles are blocked and sell. The motor is successfully complemented by a 6-speed MCP from Tremec, which, thanks to a short move and a balanced adhesion, allows you to switch easily and easily.
American was evacuated, but looked
Externally, SHELBY GT350 took all the best from his direct ancestors: a long hood, a slightly shifted back salon, embossed sidewalls, curved roof shape, a high window line. Subneal headlights more refer to modern style. In 2019, the GT350 was planted on a diet - to reduce the total weight, some parts of the suspension and the hood made from aluminum alloys. But this did not stop the process, and crabon-ceramic 19-inch crashed wheel diskswhich together with specially designed tires from Michelin - Pilot Sport Cup 2 and Magneride shock absorbers make the new GT350 stick to asphalt as bitumen.
2019 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 to buy in Moscow at least to embody their own high-speed dreams into the reality. And yes, be sure of his background any car - this is a gray thread of scrap metal!
Almost simultaneously with the beginning of the European Rabor of the Sixth Mustang, I was under the smoke from under the wheels and the roar of the exhaust discovered this car icon. Second Mustang per day! That's what I understand - wept weekend! In the morning I was, the fifth evening. Yes, not simple, and the shelby GT500 itself.
Mustang - as much in this sound for the heart of Russian ... However, not only for Russian. Anywhere where there is a TV, you know and love this sports car with horse surname. Looking at this charisma generator and the coolness to get rid of the climbing in the head of film andssociations, and not what. They are an integral component of the image of this four-wheeled legend.
In the fifth generation, a wild horse is similar to the roots, as if there were no three previous iterations. By the way, in the native edges on a wild horse pay little attention - think, the student car. The way to attract attention is only one - change the horse on the snake. In the SHELBY GT500 version, this is a completely different beast.
Four-fuel exhaust, hood with slots, a black bar from the nose to the tail - the main attributes of the macho-mobile will not allow to confuse one of the most powerful serial masts of his generation with anyone else. Cobras, who attached, then, there, froze in anticipation of the attack. Psychologists arguing that green soothes, lie! Look at this bright matte-chrome animal - green excites!

Inside
If the interior previous generation Only flirted with retro, then Mustang number five is right, exactly repeats the stylistic moves of the mid-60s. High, massive front panel with two visors, a large three-spoke steering wheel, a gearbox lever with a round embassy - the connection of generations is evident.
Clauses and quality materials correspond to the price and positioning of the car in America.
Care about solid plastic, Alcantara not top grade and metallized plastic in decoration? "Welcome to the BMW dealer!" - So the owners of Mustang will tell you. Or will offer to sit in Camaro or Challenger, where the finish is even more "Condov".
The salon is spacious, despite the fact that among the trinity of the reborn legends of the past - Ford is the most modest on dimensions. Sitting in Mustang is comfortable, the threshold is non-trap, the roof is not low. Armchairs Recaro - as always on top. For the correct landing, the cobra, embroidered on the top of the seat back, is observed.

The rear places, of course, only for lovely ladies, but tell me thanks that they are generally. Given the concept of an ultimative sports car, they could completely fall the victim of overweight. But, apparently, the conditional quantity of Americans is more expensive, and a weighty foal pulls for as many as 1,744 kg. Weight category of medium-sized crossovers.
Paradoxically, the equipment packaged to the maximum of a sports car, besides the anniversary version of the 50th Anniversary Edition, does not affect the imagination at all. No electrically regulating chairs and pedals or other Barsky stuff. There are no lots of this cowboy. His thing is small - not falling out of the saddle.
In move
Jokes aside! Cars, similar to GT500, you need to sell only people with gasoline in the blood, but at the same time with the maximum number of convolutions in the right place. Meeting with a rider without a head that he thinks that this is a "bullshit", and now he will do everyone - strictly contraindicated. Even if such a cowboy holds in the saddle and will not hug a pillar, victory in the arrival with a worthy opponent to him in 98% of cases not to see.
Come on? But how - 662 hp and 800 nm, removed from the V8 of 5.8 liters? Here is less than 4 seconds to hundreds, 320 km / h "MAILDER" and a quarter mile for 11.6 seconds at a speed of 202 km / h at the exit! I will tell you anymore, the first transmission in the six-step Tremec here is long just like the horse is what distinguishes it from the horse. Do not pass onto the second, you can accelerate to 105 km / h. There are launch control, for more confident teleportation from the place.

But alas, Emki and top AMG usually do mustang at the start. Find a clutch with an expensive at the rear drive and such a Duri under the hood - this is the problem of the stallion. One of the options under the condition of proper rubber and dry road - to squeeze at the first gas by about 70%, and on the second pedal to the floor. Then there is a chance to catch up, and after "hundreds" - and overtake German heavyweights. But the victory will be expensive to you. Covered with dependent rear suspension At speeds over 100 km / h, causing the wild horse gone by Kaely - the desperate and skillful feet. The stabilization system on Mustang is the embodiment of democracy. You will have time to fly from the road twice, and it will think: help you or it "so and conceived" by the driver.
With all its explicit redundancy, within the limits allowed in the city of speeds, Mustang is a completely friendly car. Sports suspension with electronic-controlled Bilstein shock absorbers in Normal mode perfectly copes even with the remains of the urban urban asphalt budgets. Sport mode, in theory, intended for a track, of course tougher, but the spine will remain intact. According to the standards of sports cars, the salon is quite good noise insulation. It annoys only sandblasts from wheeled arches. You can live. But why buy a monster and walking it on a short leash? If blood boil boils from the sound of the exhaust, go on the road. The owner of this Shelby, practicing an extremely safe ride in the city, the entrance is broken there. Among the rivals of Mustang were, for example, Camaro Hennessey, Mercedes CL65 AMG, Chevrolet Corvette. C7 Stingray, Nissan GTR. 2013 I. Nissan Juke-R. But a 402 meter race quickly bored a stallion, and he found a sweatheet in Drift. Now the American Zabyaka, ten time making sure that it does not interfere with anyone, regularly "gives an angle" and turns "donuts", easily burning 4-5 kits of rubber over the season.
But one should not condemn the owner of the charismatic sports car for the kidding. This is a large iron toy, raising charisma for the owner and the hero of the camera for the zoo. Most of which will agree that it is better to observe a beautiful drifting sport-car than to admire Google mobile on autopilot.
Choice and purchase
The owner of Mustang has always been a fan of powerful cars. To Shelby in his garage managed to visit many top Germans. The fracture stepped in 2013 immediately after the purchase of Dodge Challenger SRT8 392. The owner suddenly clearly realized that he did not want any other machines except the charged American barbecue, and began to think about buying something very, very powerful. Of course, you could have been notable to pump the already extended challenger, increasing it stock 470 hp Stage two times. But anyone who is familiar with the realities of the domestic tuning understands that such a design will most likely work in times. But it will require regular and very rather large money infants. Therefore, the bet was made on the factory tuning. Challengers' names caress: Cheverolet Corvette C7 Stingray, Dodge Viper SRT10, Camaro Zl1, Camaro Hennessey and Ford Mustang itself. The first two options were filled down mainly due to modest sizes, and in Camaro it was annoyed too youth. Mustang in principle liked, not satisfied with the absence of powerful versions. But the news of the presence of Shelby GT500 with its 662 hp Everything changed. The car was so impressed that it was ordered even without a test drive.
Mustang ordered new y official dealer brands in the USA. The future owner was interested full setWhat is pretty atypically for American buyers. Most local Shelby have a pretty poor set of options. According to the results of the selected configuration, which pulled $ 67,000 weighty on American standards, the auto show manager said that found on dealer warehouses ready car In such a specification, there will be great luck and, most likely, you will have to order a sports car from the factory, that is, wait for two months. The miracle happened - the desired equipment was in stock, and after a couple of months, Black Mustang with branded red stripes on the body was already in St. Petersburg. Given customs clearance and delivery, the purchase cost 4,300,000 rubles. Not so expensive, if we consider that the second is so not in all of Russia, unlike any trivial Kayen.
Tuning
Immediately charged Mustang limited to styling. Having traveled for some time on the standard black coupe, the owner realized that the car was too modest and was lost in the stream. It was decided to transform the GT500 with the film. The pasting was made in two layers: first the green chrome, and on top of it - a matte transparent film. SHELBY branded strips played in black. The final stroke was the installation of lining on side glass from Atelier Roush.Repairs
Excluding regular something, Mustang was in service only once - to replace the clutch. Detail fell dead by brave, withstanding almost 5,000 km of regular drag and drift. Now the car is worth a reinforced clutch from the SHELBY tuning components catalog. Price in America - $ 419.Exploitation
The operation mode corresponds to the purpose of the machine. Mileage at the moment is -19,000 km. Regular visits to the car showed that American technique is extremely reliable. Two, three, four arrival in a row - and no overheating (thanks to extra oil coolers in the box and motor compartment - option from the SVT Track Package package for $ 2,995). What is surprising - native brake discs and pads live and live so far. But rubber - consumables. Characteristics of the standard tires Goodyear Eagle F1 c profile width 295 Mustugu is frankly small. Rear tires lived for long. After 4,000 km of active ride, they changed 20-inch Toyo proxes. R888 315th width. In the past, one such a half-term cost an average of 25,000 rubles.1 / 3

Controlly improved significantly. The car has become really better cling to asphalt. The Mustang owner managed to even improve the personal record of overclocking to hundreds (4.4 seconds on the built-in timer). But soon on the reasons already mentioned above, it was understood that Drag on this car is boring business, and in city roads is also dangerous. Whether business drift. But for a couple of weeks a set of rear tires at the cost of almost 50,000 rubles is stupid. Thus, Chinese tires appeared on the titled American stallion. The brand will easily speak, the dimension is suitable, the price is five times cheaper than Toyo. An inexpensive consumor, perfectly performing its function, especially since coupling properties In drift completely nothing. Curious fact relative to regular. Mustang himself knows when he needs to change the oil, as notably informs the warning inscription on the tidy. If the car is operated, then the reminder floats around 4,000-5,000 km. If Mustang half a year standing on a joke, as it happens in winter, then after waking up the reminder pops up again, even if the actual mileage after the last oil change was 1,000 km. Costs:
- regularly then with oil replacement (Mobil 1 5W / 50) and filters (to order specifically for this model year, delivery time is 2 weeks) - about 6,500 rubles;
- fuel consumption in the urban cycle - 35 l / 100 km;
- fuel consumption on the highway - 17 l / 100 km;
- fuel consumption B. mixed cycle - 26-27 l / 100 km;
- gasoline - AI-98.
Plans
Plans to adapt Mustang for urban drift. Therefore, there will be a slight understatement, including by installing sports shock absorbers. Everything else owner Shelby is quite suitable.History of the model
The fifth Mustang was designed for almost six years. Concept 2003 years Ford. Mustang GT. In 2005, he went to the series without significant changes. The SHELBY GT500 version, which has become the second generation of the model with the legendary nameplate, appeared in 2007. Like the ancestor of 1967, the sports car was offered in the coupe and convertible options. Transmission - non-alternative six-speed "mechanics" Tremec TR-6060. Engine compressor V8 5.4 with a capacity of 507 hp The GT500KR version meant that under the hood 540 hp, and the option Super Snake Issued all 605 "horses". In 2009, the GT500 along with ordinary Mustang acquired an updated appearance and interior. In 2010, in the course of technical modernization, the body rigidity was increased, suspension was reconfigured and steering. Modernized engine, which received an aluminum unit instead of cast iron, began to develop 550 hp. Super Snake version now might boast 630 hp and 800 nmAC COBRA car, which is often called Shelby Cobra, survived a difficult story before becoming legendary and conquer the whole world. In this article, we will get to know the model closer and touch the history of the manufacturer's company.
Where all all began
So, AC was created in the distant 1990 by two men - a young engineer named John Valeret and Investor John Portwine. The first name of the company sounded like Autocars and Accesories Ltd. In 1907, when the company placed its capacities in London's suburb, its name was changed on AutoCarriers Ltd. At first, the company was mainly engaged in three-wheeled machines with 5.6-liter single-cylinder motors. Such vehicles were intended for freight traffic.
Gradually, the company mastered the production of motors and in 1918 participated in the development of a 4-cylinder engine with double switchgear on the head, and in 1920 - a 6-cylinder aluminum motor with a capacity of 35 horse power. In 1922, the company again changed the name and began to be called AC CARS Ltd. Under this name in 1926, she got a victory to the rally in Monte Carlo.
Brothers Harlock
The times were then heavy, and even despite the success of the company, she went bankrupt and fell into the hands of Charles and William Harlocks. In addition to sports cars, the brothers released wheelchairs and other domestic things. Nevertheless, did not make herself waiting for a new line of sports cars, called ASE.
In 1952, Harlocks got acquainted with the English engineer named John Theheiro and bought it in his five pounds the right to the car, which was developed by him 30 years ago. As a result, a second Ace was presented in the London Motor Show.
By the mid-50s, the company began to put 6-cylinder engines Bristol, thanks to which Mark has achieved success in competitions called "24 Hours Le Mans". In 1959, on the same competitions, AC Bristol and Carroll Shelby met the pedestal at the same competition. From this point on, the joint work of Shelby and AS begins.
History of the model "Shelby Cobra"
Sports in contrast to ordinary are targeted only at one - high speed. It is achieved by all possible methods. Here little think about the comfort of the cabin, but much attention is paid to ergonomics. And what exactly no one is thinking about, so it is about saving. Materials are used that are ideal for one purpose or another, and it does not matter how much they cost. After all, a good sports car can pay off 100 times. When Shelby offered his services to AC CARS, it was already ready to create best auto - Confusedly expensive and fast. But this kind of like in the photo below, the car does not at once.
At that time, one of the most successful models of the small company AC CARS was Roger Ace. He had an aluminum body, which was going to manually, and the spatial steel tubular frame. Meanwhile, in the United States, the ambitious racer Carroll Shelby dreamed of cooperation with AC Cars. And when Bristol ceased to produce engines used in the flagship model ACE, Shelby offered an English company in the future to put on its sports-kara American production. Initially, Shelby planned to order a motor from Chevrolet, but the negotiations went to a dead end. A pleasant surprise was the rapid consent of the other american company - Ford. In fact, the Americans saw personal benefits in such cooperation - they wanted to make a car that could overtake the superpopular at that time in America the car so the ASA model received powerful engine Ford Windsor 260 Hipo.
In 1962, Cobra Mk I was created - the first prototype of the chassis with the Fords engine. In the same year, the first batch of Cobre, consisting of 75 copies, was designed from the conveyor. The car collided with a wave of criticism, and designers who at that time settled already in California, in the workshop Cobra Shelby began to upgrade cars. In 1963, the light saw Cobra MK II - an improved version of the model with a 4.7-liter engine. It was released in the amount of 500 copies.
A little later appeared even more powerful version Models, with a motor capacity of 427 cubic inches. The car strengthened the suspension and expanded the chassis. She was named Cobra MK III, but all her was remembered as a car "Shelby Cobra 427". Initially, it was intended for racing, but the creators decided to open it for the broad masses. With a capacity of 540 horsepower, the model has become the fastest serial machine. Its popularity has grown rapidly, as well as the number of victories. Cobra conquered such races like Le Mans, Daytona, Sebring, and this is not all its achievements.
In March, the last copy of the legend was released, and the production was stopped. The reason is the change in environmental norms and safety requirements.
Review models
Today, Shelby Cobra is one of the most desirable cars in the collection of retro cars. The original copy will cost the buyer hundreds of thousands of dollars. A brighter and memorable car of the 1960s simply does not exist. Let's get a closer look at all three generations of legends.
The first and second generation of Shelby Cobra car
The first version of the car appeared due to the fact that Carroll Shelby managed to convince the company AC in that by putting the V-8 motor ACE Motor on the tubular chassis, you can get a powerful and extraordinary sports car. The first "Shelby Cobra", which is presented above, received a 4.2-liter motor and 4 disk brakes. BUT gOODYEAR company Looked for "cobra" special tires.
Chassis and body produced in the UK on AC Cars, and the motors in the USA. The machine has developed a power of 260 horsepower. Literally a year later, the second generation of the model appeared, which has already developed 306 liters. from. Thanks to a 4.7 liter motor.
The legendary third generation
Modification of 427 made a Shelby Cobra car with a real legend. She joined all the best developments of the "older sisters" and new ideas of people who love their business. At one time, she was listed in the Guinness Book of Records through an increase in speed up to 100 mph / hour in 9.8 seconds. It was this model that inspired many imitators for a replica, similar to it. By the way, the Soviet is frankly copied with "Cobra", at least as part of the design. All models of the 427th were collected in the English enterprise A Cat Thames Ditton from 1965 to 1967. Nevertheless, none of them were bought at home. The thing is that the inhabitants of the country in which the rain constantly pours and the gasoline is becoming more expensive, did not want to spend money on the car in the body of a convertible, and even with such a brutal appetite. Americans also did not hurry to buy cars, and before getting into the hands of a simple mortal (not a racer), the car stood in the cabin as many as 16 months.
A little about Carrolle Shelby
An extraordinary charisma and a high level of professional skills allowed this man to stand out in the face of a cruel competitive struggle and to achieve cooperation with the largest automotive companies. At the same time, the Shelby Cobra car was built by small English companies in a friendly atmosphere of people who were crazy about racing and good cars.
As a typical American, Shelby changed a lot of classes before becoming a rider and a sports car manufacturer. He began his professional path from the post of summer instructor of the American Air Force during the war. After he tried himself in transport company, oil business and even on the poultry farm. However, none of the listed classes brought Carroll to any happiness or normal income.
In early 1952, at the age of 29, Shelby took part in the first races. From that moment, he no longer saw himself in any other lesson. As a result, the young racer reached "Formula 1" and won the "24 hours of Le Mans". Because of the problems with the heart, he was forced to stop his rider's career in 1960, but a car's passion left for a man forever. When the story of "Cobra" ended, Shelby continued cooperation with Ford, more than half a century inspiring her engineers to create really standing cars. Throughout his life, the great motorist remained a fan of his business and participated in the creation best cars. At the age of 88, he tested the most powerful in the history of Mustang for 5 hours.
"Ford Mustang Shelby Cobra"
In 2013, the 50-year anniversary of Shelby was celebrated on the Monterey Peninsula. The event was of particular importance, since the Great Carroll Shelby passed away in May of the same year. As a tribute to the memory of the legendary rider and the designer, Ford and Shelby rebellted again to create a unique model of Mustang.
The car received a very wide body, massive disks of 13 inches width, 5.8-liter engine V-8 and power in as many as 850 horsepower. In the best traditions of the English company, the car painted in blue colour With two parallel stripes passing in the center of the top of the body. According to representatives of Shelby, they intend to carry a model across the country, and then sell it at a charity auction.
Jim Farley - Member of the Board of Ford Motor, who represented the Ford Mustang Cobra car, "said that the unique car created by them will reflect the idea of \u200b\u200bturning the SHELBY GT500 model to the real Cobra.
Conclusion
Such a difficult and fascinating was the story of the Shelby Cobra car, the characteristics of which to this day are surprised and inspired. Cobra is not just a car, it is a huge breakthrough in the automotive industry. And despite the short history of the production of the model, the memory of her and about the genius, which created it, will remain in the hearts of motorists for many years. Cobra is a real American oil-car - luxurious, fast, slightly selfish and extremely attractive.
Until now, this title wore the Ford GT average car supercar, but now he had to be sigh. The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, presented at the Detroit GT500, presented at the Detroit Cup of Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 and is designed to give a battle for the most extrem versions of pony Chevrolet Camaro. and dodge challenger.
This is just a third generation of a sports car with the GT500 index: for the first time such a model appeared in 1967, and Carroll Schulby himself was engaged in its development. The new machine has no relation to the existing SHELBY company: the legendary name is used under license, and the development of the Ford Performance division was developed.
For the "five hundred" Mustang, the engine was prepared under the code name Predator, which is based on the Voodoo's atmospheric known for modifications. The unit V8 5.2 is equipped with a drive supercharger type Roots with a volume of 2.65 liters. Power should exceed 700 "horses" (against 655 models Ford. GT), but the exact indicator will be announced later. Dynamic indicators are also approximate: acceleration up to 60 miles per hour (97 km / h) takes about 3.5 s, and a quarter mile car drives less than 11 seconds.
And also the version of the Shelby GT500 first among Mustangs acquired a preselective "robot" with two clutches. Tremec gearbox has seven gears. Riding electronics have five modes (Normal, Slippery, Sport, Drag and Track) and Launch Control. Mechanical transmission It is not envisaged, although the company does not exclude that they will prepare such a modification if buyers wish.
The SHELBY GT500 compartment has an individual suspension setting with adaptive MagNeride shock absorbers. Another pride of developers - the largest brake discs among american sports cars: On the front axis, their diameter reaches 420 mm. Front brake mechanisms Brembo - with hexorrheal calipers. Finally, the coupe has 20-inch wheels with tires michelin. Pilot Sport 4S.
All changes in appearance are dictated by aerodynamics and the need to cool the aggregates. Shelby GT500 has six radiators, therefore the front air intake area, compared with the GT350 version, is increased by 50%. Also offered two packages of options. Carbon Fiber Track Package - these are light carbon-static wheels, other body kit, Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires and missing rear seats. And Handling Package provides adjustable top supports of the front pendants and other front splitter.
The price of the new compartment has not yet been announced, but even if the GT350 version is worth a minimum of 59 thousand dollars, the "five hundred" will easily pull on 100 thousand. Start sales is scheduled for autumn.
