Ford 2013 Shelby GT 500 Convertible
2013 FORD SHELBY GT500 CONVERTIBLE: Mustang fans have a lot to celebrate while attending the 2012 Chicago Auto Show (CAS). Not only will they see all the 2012 Mustang models on review, but Ford has selected Chicago to unveil the 2013 Shelby GT500 convertible. This model also serves as the celebratory vehicle of the 20th anniversary of Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT). How fitting since Chicago was the official launch of SVT during the 1992 show, when Ford debuted the 1993 SVT Mustang Cobra. For 2013, the Shelby GT500 is equipped with a 5.8-liter supercharged V8 aluminum-block engine that produces 650 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque, establishing it as the most powerful production V8 in the world. Bilstein electronic adjustable dampers and new Brembo brake system are key enablers for the vehicle’s incredible performance. Recently, the new convertible shaved 3.5 seconds off its lap time at Sebring International Raceway compared to the 2011 and 2012 models. In honor of SVT’s anniversary, a commemorative lighted sill plate will be used in the 2013 Shelby GT500 to celebrate the many years of performance vehicles. With more than 210,000 SVT vehicles produced since 1993, the 2013 Shelby GT500 continues the four SVT attributes: Performance, Substance, Exclusivity and Value.
