mrdci Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 They posted this on Autoblog today. You can clearly see the snake on the steering wheel. You can see some of the defuser on the bumper and since the camo is higher it looks like to me the same rear wing but the hood looks like it maybe simular to the SS or KR hood from this inital design. I could be just masking. Check it out here. http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/09/spy-sho...d-shelby-gt500/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGT500 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 It's on Jalopnik too. I have to get used to the dash. Much flatter and probably cheaper to make. http://jalopnik.com/tag/2010-shelby-gt500/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venix Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 These are the best spy photos yet and may answer the question of 'will there be a 2010 GT500', assuming Ford aren't leading us on. However, I'm undecided about if I like it or not. I'll make up my mind when I see the entire car, uncamouflaged. I think it has potential though.

500HP GT Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 The GT500 is a limited production run for 2007 and....oh never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshua484 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I want to know what the next engine will be. That's the main point of interest for me. Current 5.4 Supercharged 5.0 Supercharged? 6.2 Supercharged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdci Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Very interesting pics and article. No shocker however, the GT500 has been a great success and will obviously continue. These photos should go a long way at putting the doubters to rest. Anyone considering blowing a wad on an 09 thinking that this is the last of the breed needs to take a carefull look here. A GT500 level Mustang will be built as long as there is a market for it. Well one thing that made me wonder is maybe they are just going to go back to it being a Cobra. Since the current steering wheel says shelby and GT500 with the Snake and this one only has the Snake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the current steering wheel says shelby and GT500 with the Snake and this one only has the Snake. That's interesting - didn't think of that but ok. Could mean the "long term contract" may be moving to other projects. Also, is it me or is the cobra on the front grill facing the wrong way? If it was through a mirror it would still be facing the headlight, not away from it. Glad I got the 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyDude Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Well one thing that made me wonder is maybe they are just going to go back to it being a Cobra. Since the current steering wheel says shelby and GT500 with the Snake and this one only has the Snake. That was my first thought. Are they coming out with just a cobra again? Or could it be the GT350? Or another GT500? Or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamondback Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Here are my thoughts.... - The base 2010 mustang will be a close copy of the current GT500. I.E. - an exact LOOKING front clip - There will be a Cobra Version which will be a step up from the GT version (sort of like the bullit) - I am thinking the Cobra will get a cheesy version of the GT500KR hood. - the tach on all mustangs will be located on the right side - There will be NO GT500 (Boss will take its place as the super car) - Shelby will be involved on new projects - Shelby GT350 - Shelby Focus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamondback Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 There will be a Shelby GT500 or higher numbered version with more advertiseable HP. The Shelby nameplate on an ultra powered Mustang has been a smahing success and has no chance of being abandoned. No way in the world do they discontinue this concept. Think about it, everyone who wanted a GT500 got one. They satisfied the market for this paticular specialty car(procrastinators not included). Now they want to satisfy the hords of people who loved the look of the GT500 and caused them from buying a Mustang because they couldnt afford a GT500 and\or didnt care about the Shelby name and\or having tons of horsepower. A Cobra model will fit that crowd perfect. And this Cobra model will easily allow Shelby to use to build the GT350 off of. With the 5.0 comming back all signs point to the Boss comming back as Fords next super model. Also with the gas prices the way their going, the extremely good market(Evo,WRX STI,Mazda Speed,Honda SI, ect), Shelbys history with Dodge and this type of vehicle, it would be a good move for Ford and Shelby to do a Shelby Focus.

Dad's72Mach Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Lets hope for Ford's sake that everyone who wanted a GT500 hasn't gotten one as there are about FIVE THOUSAND more GT500s that will be looking for a home. Don't bet too heavily on Ford removing the Shelby designation from their top of the line Mustang and applying it to a Focus. The next GT500 will be an enhanced version of what is currently available with upgraded power, handling and interior quality. The best is yet to come. This is a good thing.

ff500 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 So many rumors with these cars, on another svt site the 2011 GT500 supposedly will come in around 3600 lbs with a full tank of gas and have some griggs suspension parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08redstripevert Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 It looks like there is chrome grill trim instead of color coordinated. If so that could look really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang crazy Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 It looks like there is chrome grill trim instead of color coordinated. If so that could look really good Mr. said at Shelby team shelby meeting that he had contract with ford untill he was 91 years old, that 6 more years. We should see awesome mustang coming out!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94gt Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 So in all reality a GT500 till 2015 when the next body style occurs. In keeping with the history of typically having a cobra at the top of the line up with the occasional S.E. This should put and end to the silly markups and people paying over MSRP! And no, the next gen GT500 will not be a limited production 2 year run. Jay O Connell stated back in 2006 they were working on a newer version of the GT500. It looks like he was right.

vbalouzian Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 With current Oil prices and the way it is escalating do not be surprised if the V8 will be done with after 2009. Ford is not stupid and the public sentiment will dictate what they will do. would you bet that Ford will continue developing a V8 if gas hits $5; my guess is no and I believe we are the last ones that have purchased or will be purchasing V8 in 09. look @ late 70's and Early 80's. heck the Pinto might make a comeback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
