The Shelby GT500 Cobra not only carried a look of tenacity but performed to a degree that left no doubt as to its on-track credibility. With a top-rated speed in excess of 200 MPH, one can only assume that Carroll Shelby, himself, would have been proud for the GT500 Cobra to carry his name. Ford contributed the base vehicle for this build, a 2013 GT500, which was powered by a 662 horsepower 5.8-liter V8. This engine was then fitted with a 4.0 Whipple supercharger, provided by Ford Racing. This increased the GT500 Cobra’s total output to 850 horsepower.
