At the SEMA Show in October 2009, Shelby Automobiles unveiled a new Turbo Package. The “Shelby Turbo” Package, with 550 horsepower, improved the car’s performance, handling, braking, and appearance. It was the first turbo system designed to meet 50-state and CARB compliance for a post-title package on this platform. Unfortunately, this package never entered production. The installed components included a Shelby/Turbonetics Turbocharger with 550 hp, a short throw shifter, Shelby Pro-Plus 4 Wheel Brake System, a performance suspension with caster/camber plates, La Dual Exhaust, Shelby Bar Grille and Stripes, a Shelby Gauge Pod with Shelby Signature Gauges, a serialized dash and engine bay plaque, a Shelby Functional Deep Draw Hood with pins, and specific 18″ x 9″ chrome aluminum wheels with Goodyear Eagle F1 275/35/18 tires.
This is the prototype and the only car built, making it a one-of-one and it is now up for sale on Bring A Trailer with only 13k miles on the odometer.
This Performance White car boasts the Shelby Turbo Package, which adds a GT-H front bumper cover, “Deep Draw” hood with hood pins, a bar grille, and Shelby Turbo graphics on the hood and quarter panels. Exterior extras comprise a rear spoiler, power-adjustable side mirrors, faux quarter panel vents, and dual exhaust outlets.
