For those aficionados of Shelby American products in Europe, who have resigned themselves to daydreaming about owning their fantastically wild Mustangs and pickup trucks, we have some electrifying news. In a surprising turn of events, Shelby American announces that its newest creation, the Shelby Mustang Mach-E GT, will be exclusively available in Europe. Yes, you read that right. Shelby is going electric!
Continuing Carroll Shelby’s Global Vision
Shelby American continues to expand its global footprint, a philosophy deeply rooted in the vision of Carroll Shelby. As a trailblazer, Carroll was always at the forefront of integrating cutting-edge materials and state-of-the-art technologies, including electrification. As a tribute to the 100th anniversary of Carroll Shelby’s birth, only 100 of these uniquely modified EVs will be constructed. Following positive feedback from its preview in November 2021, Shelby decided to unleash this beast exclusively to the European market.
What’s in the Package?
The Mustang Mach-E GT will feature a carbon fibre bonnet and front splitter, lightweight wheels, and a new suspension setup that’s lower than the standard variant. While it retains the original 480bhp of the standard Mach-E GT, it differentiates itself with aesthetics and improved handling. The EV sports go-faster stripes, carbon fibre mirror caps, and generous amounts of Shelby badges to truly exhibit its pedigree.
However, perhaps the most exciting part for existing Mach-E GT owners is that they can have their vehicles upgraded to this new setup. The price for this exciting modification starts from just €24,900.
As we witness the shift towards electric mobility, Shelby’s commitment to innovation and global expansion is indeed commendable. With the Mustang Mach-E GT, Shelby is bringing a fresh wave of excitement to the European market. So, will you be one of the fortunate 100 to own this piece of automotive history? Let us hear your thoughts.
