McLaren W1 First Drive: Ferocious Hypercar Transcends the Track

You know things are getting serious when McLaren rolls-out the ‘1’ suffix. The origin story is, of course, the very first road car McLaren ever built, the F1. Designed by visionary Formula 1 aerodynamicist and engineer Gordon Murray, it arrived in 1992 and rendered all other supercars obsolete. The tiny, lightweight F1 embraced carbon-fibre material technology, adopted a radical centre seat driving position with two passengers set back and either side and was powered by a 6.1-litre V12 engine from BMW that might as well have been passed down directly from the Gods. Game-changer? That doesn’t even come close to describing its impact, even if at the time sales didn’t come easy… The P1 was very different. Rather than a unique side project from the Formula 1 team, it was instead a statement piece for McLaren Automotive, a new road car division still in its infancy. It arrived in 2013 and was a wild-eyed showstopper. It traded the long-legged gait and supple suspension of the F1 for a weaponized hybrid system capable of delivering 903bhp and huge blue flames from its drainpipe exhaust. In Race mode, it lowered by 2-inches and its massive concave rear wing extended into the sky. The P1 was all about aerodynamic downforce, crazed acceleration and a snorting, angry soundtrack that mixed venomous twin-turbocharged V8 with the manic whirr of electric motors. Not so much a car as a force of nature. And now there’s this: The W1. It’s a true successor to the P1 with a similar brief and, on the face of it, it evolves rather than radically reinvents McLaren’s vision for the ultimate hypercar. This is not a criticism. How could it be when the result is this dramatic and has such staggering, other-worldly potential? The W1 has 1258bhp delivered to the rear wheels. It’s capable of 0-124 mph in 5.8-seconds, the quarter mile in 9.6-seconds at 167 mph and produces 2205lbs of downforce at 174 mph. The active aerodynamics – particularly a rear wing that extends way out beyond the rear of the car – are pure performance art and deliver massive aerodynamic efficiency. The result, aside from looking extremely cool, is that the W1 is McLaren’s fastest road car around a racetrack. Ever. Their benchmark circuit is the breath-taking Handling Track at the Nardo proving ground in southern Italy, where the W1 beats their previous benchmark, the flyweight McLaren Senna, by three seconds per lap. Or “a lifetime” as they call it in racing. Maybe two lifetimes! Core to the W1’s performance is the new ‘Aerocell’ carbon fibre tub. With integrated seats and a raised footwell to allow for inboard pushrod-operated front suspension – which in turn gives air a clean path to the huge underbody diffuser – it’s light, stiff, space efficient and has been instrumental in McLaren realising a full ground-effect concept. Just like last year’s F1 cars, which were the fastest ever made. There is also an active front wing and the aforementioned complex rear wing dubbed ‘Active Long Tail’. All of which is very admirable. But the ‘anhedral’ or gullwing doors and the fantastically shirnked-wrapped feel to the minimalist, highly-focussed interior are a pretty good side effect. The W1 feels special. Those fixed seats are perhaps a shade more upright than expected, and the driving position is less obviously racecar than, for example, the Aston Martin Valhalla or Ferrari F80. However, once you’ve adjusted the pedals (they move on a slider) and the delicate, slim-rimmed and alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, there’s an overwhelming sense of purpose. The cabin is so tightly tailored and imparts a sense of lightness and agility before you so much as start the all-new 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which makes 916bhp all on its own and revs to 9200rpm. Reach up to a roof-mounted control panel to find the starter button. Maybe this fighter plane trope is a little corny, but somehow you feel thrilled rather than manipulated. The W1 has a sense of humour as well as all that motorsport-derived sophistication. There’s a short delay, but when the engine does fire it’s instant – as the high-powered hybrid system negates the need for an old-school starter motor. A sharp flare of revs tells you that this engine is hyper-responsive and angry. On some deep level your brain and body have been sent all the signals required to prepare for something new and intense. Ahead of us, an empty Mugello racetrack, so press and hold the blue button next to the red starter to select Race mode. The centre display graphic shows the W1’s transformation in real time as it lowers by 37mm at the front and 17mm at the rear whilst simultaneously undocking all that active aero goodness. Race mode is not road legal and is geo-locked. You can show your friends and neighbours the aero dance, but it won’t allow you to select a gear to actually drive unless you’re at a circuit. Incidentally, the rocker switches either side of the display binnacle allow further options now: Toggle up the Handling control on the left for Race+ (for F1-spec super smooth tracks) or stick to Race for gnarlier ones. On the right toggle select ‘GP’ for sustained performance over a stint or ‘Sprint’ to unleash all 1258bhp for a time attack. There’s also a DRS and Boost function on the steering wheel. But I guarantee you won’t have the mental capacity to use them… Exit the pitlane, pin the throttle and W1 takes maybe a millisecond or two to gather its might (the gearing stretches to around 60mph in first, nearly 100mph in second, primarily to aid traction), but then lunges at the first turn with incredible ferocity. It instantly feels light, almost like inertia is no longer a thing. McLaren really does prize lightweight engineering, and at 3084lbs (dry) the W1 has a 278lbs advantage over the Ferrari F80. Plus, Ferrari uses figures for cars fitted with every single carbon fibre option. In reality, the gap is probably wider still. The impression of agility and stunning control continues as the track is unravelled at startling pace. The electric motor mounted to the side of the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is good for 342bhp and 324lb ft and it boosts any low rev lethargy the new flat-plane crank V8 might have (spoiler alert: It doesn’t appear to have any), so the W1 just feels massively, almost impossibly powerful at any revs. Even so, there’s real reward for wringing it out to 9200rpm and the power curve feels superheated but organic, too. In Race mode the steering – still hydraulically powered – has less assistance and it is noticeably heavier than other McLarens. However, that resistance is welcome as it gives you something to push against and imparts so much information about the front grip level. New Pirelli Trofeo RS tyres with a bigger front footprint than P1 or Senna really help. The front-end feels incredibly secure and the rear-axle follows with perfectly-aligned precision. The whole car feels super-stiff, completely locked into the surface and inspires confidence, but there’s an inherent agility and adjustability that means you’re quickly confident to push at its limits and really impose yourself on the chassis. It’s such a complex car but the driving experience is intuitive, and the driver feels a key contributor rather than just amazed (or terrified) observer, holding on for dear life. Every dynamic ingredient really is shockingly effective and yet has a subtlety and lightness of touch. From that delicious steering to the incredible brakes, the W1 just feels so mission-focussed, so hooked-up. Only the new 8-speed gearbox is a slightly disappointment. It’s fast and punchy, but after the scintillating energy of the Ferrari F80 ’box it feels competent rather than inspired. Other quibbles – it’s okay to quibble when the starting price is $2.1-million before tax and destination charge. Well, that new twin-turbocharged V8 sounds tightly wound and aggressive but if you have a P1 tucked in the garage you’ll miss the snorting, Darth Vader-style soundscape and all the drama that goes with it. Ferrari does this better, too. The F80 sounds deathly dull from the outside but is a riot of turbochargers, electric motors and all sorts of mechanical fury within the cockpit. Even so, the W1 is wildly entertaining on track, and the rear-drive configuration makes it more of a challenge and more satisfying than the F80 when chasing lap times or just sliding around for fun. In the Ferrari, you must second-guess what the front e-axle might do, whereas in the W1 it’s all on you. There are plenty of tools to help, including the ingenious Variable Drift Control, but somehow the W1 is more heroic. Or at least fools you into feeling more heroic – which is surely the point! On the road? Nimble, loaded with feel and sublime response. The ride is noticeably tougher than, say, a 750S but the control is ramped-up too, and with a bit more speed the whole car finds a delicious rhythm. Sport mode for the drivetrain brings some nice turbo whooshes and chirps, but the noise remains high-quality rather than extreme excitement. It is perhaps the one area the W1 feels just a little too tame. Of course, there’s nothing tame about the raw performance… which is genuinely shocking and literally hurts your neck muscles after a few hours. How McLaren has given the W1 such immense traction through just two driven wheels is beyond me. So, is it worthy of that ‘1’? I think so. Perhaps we won’t be talking about $25-million auction results for the W1 in 30 years from now, as we are for the F1. Perhaps it doesn’t quite have the amazing presence and jaw-dropping star quality of the simply gorgeous P1. But it is such an intense experience and the way it marries stunning track performance with delicate poise and entertainment on normal roads is something akin to magic. Maybe not ‘the one’ but definitely a searing, outrageous addition to McLaren’s fiercest family line. Just 399 W1’s will be built and they’re all sold. I’m not surprised at all.

2026 Ford Mustang GT Models Get A Fox Body Inspired Makeo...

The Fox Body Mustang is back, in spirit at least, because Ford just pulled the wraps off the FX Package for the 2026 Mustang. With its retro-inspired theme, the appearance package gives the modern-day S650 a heavy dose of 1980s swagger. Available exclusively on 2026 Mustang GT Premium models, regardless of the transmission or body style you opt for, or the addition of the Performance Package, Ford’s goal with the FX package is to target the millennial crowd born in the 1980s and ‘90s. This move is a part of a broader playbook of Ford looking back at historic models, which is something that the Blue Oval has been playing successfully in recent years. After the company revived the Bronco nameplate and the smaller Bronco Sport in 2020, heritage-inspired trims with deep roots in the 1960s were subsequently introduced on both models. Think white grille, classic wheels, two-tone paint, and retro touches in the cabin. “You can’t talk about the 1980s without mentioning the Fox Body Ford Mustang” - Joe Bellino, Mustang Brand Manager That same formula is now being applied to the Mustang. While the S197 was truly the model to reintroduce the ‘60s Fastback styling to the modern age and we have seen special packages for the S650 before, the FX package celebrates the Fox Body era with unique Oxford white touches. You’ll find it everywhere, from the 19-inch wheels, the 5.0 GT and Pony badges, and even in the grille nostrils. Standard FX variants feature Dark Carbonized Gray nostrils, while Performance Pack cars feature Gloss Black with White nostrils. Oxford White taillights will be available for all seventh-gen Mustang owners through Ford Performance Parts. Another exterior highlight are the wheels. While the FX’s standard five-spoke design is a fresh take on the current Mustang wheel, Performance Pack cars get a design that takes cues from OG Fox Body alloys. Finished in mid-gloss Oxford White with color-matched center caps, they bear an all-new, FX-exclusive Mustang GT wordmark inspired by the 1987-’93 models. The Oxford white accents should also serve as a contrast against the Adriatic Blue Metallic seen here (a modern take on the classic Teal) and Orange Fury Metallic Tricoat. Inside, the retro-throwback theme continues with a new leather upholstery with black and white perforated inserts that mimic the plaid patterns of the third-gen Mustang. Optional Recaro seats (Coupe only) also carry the same retro flair. Double contrast stitching in City Silver and Adriatic Blue, across the seats, dash, steering wheel, and doors, along with new seat belt options in International Orange, Prime Blue, or Black with red stripes, ties everything together. So if you are someone who grew up with posters of a Fox Body-era Mustang on your bedroom wall or drove one back in high school, the FX Package might just get you a proper hit of nostalgia. Ford hasn’t announced pricing yet, but you won’t have to wait long to find out as order Books open in late June. View All Ford Mustangs For Sale Source: Ford

Ken Block's Hoonicorn Mustang Price & Specs

Ford fans around the world enjoy the fun and practicality of late-model pony cars, but nothing compares to Ken Block's Hoonicorn Mustang specs. In fact, every Ford Mustang for sale would love to be a Hoonicorn. Drifting is the world's most popular motorsport, and it has allowed Ken Block to become a hero to young and old alike. As such, we invite you to join us as we break down every aspect of the Hoonicorn Mustang. The Ford Hoonicorn Mustang project began in 2013, with Hoonicorn V1, as a way to extol the virtues of Ford Performance and racing suppliers. The need for big Hoonicorn horsepower necessitated a potent V8. That is where Catcus Jack offered the expertise of his engine builders. Roush-Yates built a bulletproof 410 stroker. The car debuted as the 1965 Hoonicorn RTR, sending 845 horsepower to all wheels. In order to spin all tires, all the time, the engine specs start with a Ford 5.8-liter small-block V8. The architecture dates back to the Windsor block, but Roush Mustang improved the internals for strength and lower friction. It is loaded with forged internals and a solid-roller camshaft. Perhaps one of the most guarded secrets are the valve events of this unique Roush Yates Turbocharged 410 cubic-inch Ford V8. This 1965 Ford Mustang was built from the ground up to be All Wheel Drive. That is why Ken chose Vaughn Gittin's team to work their magic. Starting in the virtual realm, the RTR team realized strength and safety are paramount. Therefore they chose carbon fiber body panels over a tube frame chassis. ASD Motorsports was brought on board to build an inboard suspension. Control arms were CNC machined from billet stock. This allows Ken Block's Mustang weight to be lower than any late-model Ford for sale. The ultimate aspect is less un-sprung weight than many dedicated race cars. You might assume that the driveline is filled with electronics. While fancy torque vectoring systems work well to keep novice drivers safe in bad weather, the mark of a true rally master is a lack in complexity. That is why symmetry is the foremost aspect of the Hoonicorn Mustang chassis. The front and rear track widths are identical. This allows incredible steering feedback and the same geometry for the control arms. The wheels, tires, differentials, and brakes are nearly identical on all corners. Ken Block is able to send torque front to rear by using the independent brake located next to the shifter. After destroying 20 sets of tires in Los Angeles, Hoonigan Racing decided to attack the world's most famous hill climb. Instead of racing at Sea Level, the Hoonicorn Mustang would be starting at 4,700 feet and racing into the sky. Therefore Garrett Turbochargers offered to acclimate the Hoonicorn engine to high altitudes. The velocity stacks were retired in favor of a 3D printed intake by Switzer Dynamics. This allows 21 lbs of boost to fill the cylinders with the help of a custom camshaft. Aspects like these prevent the likelihood of another Hoonicorn Mustang for sale. 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn Specs: Engine: 6.7-liter Roush-Yates V8Horsepower: 1,400 hpTorque: 1,250 lb-ft0-60 mph: 1.8 secondsTop Speed: 255 mphPrice: PricelessTransmission: 6-speed Sadev SC90-24 A series of other changes were made to the Hoonigan Hoonicorn in order to meet the requirements of Pike's Peak. What emerged is the Hoonicorn Mustang RTR V2. The Hoonicorn specs of 1,400 horsepower and 1,250 lb-ft of torque were put to the test at 14,000 feet in altitude. The run was documented in the Hoonigan documentary: "Climbkhana." More recently, fans have discovered the car's abilities in Forza Racing. Realizing that it was a favorite for heads-up competition thanks to the Hoonicorn's 0-60 in 1.8 seconds, Hoonigan and Ken Block chose to a quarter-mile drag race against a McLaren Senna. Although the Hoonicorn Mustang was not built with drag racing in mind, the suspension was easily dialed-in for a quarter-mile hole shot. The Sadev 6-speed sequential proved perfect for the task, as the AWD system spun all tires. " width="680"> We know of no situation where the Hoonicorn Mustang would not prevail. As with their other builds, the Hoonicorn price can't be calculated on parts and time alone. It will be the focus of intense bidding wars if Ken chooses to part ways. If you like the smell of burning rubber, the Hoonicorn Mustang has a square setup for optimal grip. The forged wheels are unique Fifteen52 Forged Tarmac R43 in 18” x 10.5”. They are wrapped in 295/35/18 Toyo Proxes R888R tires. Since the axles are also equal length, the transmission offers equal opportunities to ignite them all. What happened to the Hoonicorn? Sadly, Ken Block and Ford parted ways in 2021. Because of this, Block had to also part ways with his Hoonicorn and many other cars. After his final ride in the Hoonicorn V2, it was returned to Ford. In fact, the Hoonicorn, along with all of Block's other Fords, are listed in the "Archived Garage" on HooniganRacing.com. As for what it's doing now, that's unknown. Hopefully, Ford will keep the Hoonicorn in great condition so that it can be admired for years to come. Let's be honest, the Hoonicorn has pulled off some of the craziest automotive stunts that we've seen in years and deserves a spot in automotive legend.

Best Ford Mustangs Of All Time

It’s been roughly 55 years since Ford changed the automotive world, and the world in general with the introduction of the Mustang, and in that time the car has become a cultural icon, a motorsport legend, and a blueprint for what an American sports car should bring to the table. With international popularity and fervent love for the Mustang among so many people across generations, the question of the best Mustang model can be answered in many different ways depending on which of the Mustang's attributes you like the most. The Mustang has no problem delivering dynamics, pure power, and classic beauty, and the best Mustangs of all time do that like few other cars in the world. When it comes to Mustangs, we’ve compiled the very best, meaning that for whatever you want out of a pony car, you know exactly the best Mustang to buy. 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Shelby knows how to turn up the volume on a Mustang, and the 2020 model is probably the highest they’ve cranked it yet. With the Mustang’s sixth generation as its canvas, the 2020 Shelby is already outfitted with the most dynamic Mustang yet. The icing on the cake comes in the form of a few things: a 5.2-liter V-8 pushing out 760 horsepower, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission to send your GT500 flying to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds. What really makes the 2020 GT500 stand out, however, is the carbon-fiber wheels. For 2020, Shelby went the extra mile for performance and offered a feature that usually is reserved for elite hypercars, all in the name of speed. View Listings 1969 Boss 429 Even in its early days, the Mustang was in charge of the sports car world. Hence the Boss model of 1969, with a whopping 429 cubic-inch 7.0-liter V8 that produced an incredible 375 horsepower for the time. That power went through a 4-speed manual transmission, sending the Boss to 60 miles per hour in 7.1 seconds, and to a sub-14-second quarter-mile. Even the engine itself is steeped in history and pedigree. The 429 engine is semi-hemispherical, and Ford built it to qualify for Nascar, making the 1969 Boss 429 Mustang a formidably strong contender wherever it was, whether that be the street or the track. View Listings 2000 SVT Cobra R The single color that this modern classic performance Mustang came in was a great indicator of the red-hot performance that resided under the hood. With just 300 ever built-in Performance Red only, the Cobra R stands out due to much more than just its color and its gigantic fixed spoiler. With Recaro racing seats, the ultimate measures are taken in the name of weight savings, and its 385 horsepower 5.4-liter V8, the Cobra R made it clear that SVT was more than ready to make its mark on the 21st century for car enthusiasts all over the world. The mark it made? A 0-60 time of just 4.4 seconds, and a sub-13-second quarter-mile. View Listings 2003 SVT Cobra The final generation of the SVT Cobra had an important task: to make sure that the SVT Cobra was gone but not forgotten, and it did more than deliver on that. Its drivers were granted the use of 390 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque from a 4.6-liter supercharged V8, which came through a Tremec T-56 six-speed transmission, which made the Terminator Cobra good for a 4.5 second 0-60 and a limited 155 mph top speed. And when the 2003 SVT Cobra took just 13.01 seconds to cover a quarter-mile, it made sure that the final SVT Cobra would live up to its codename, and terminate its competition. View Listings 2012 Boss 302 Laguna Seca The return of the Boss 302 nameplate in 2012 was nothing if not triumphant. Being a car that had plenty of expectations to live up to, the Boss 302 Laguna Seca Edition came prepared with Ford’s 5-liter Coyote V8 providing 444 horsepower, Recaro seats, deleted rear seats, upgraded suspension and chassis stiffening not only to live up to the Boss name but also to make sure it would be competent on its namesake race track, let alone race tracks in general. With special high performance tires and brakes translating all of that to the road, what you end up with is a 4.2 second 0-60 time, and a sub 12-second quarter mile. View Listings 2013 Shelby GT500 There was a time when traveling at a speed of 200 miles per hour was unthinkable, and there was a time when it was possible, but only with lots of money and lots of effort. With the introduction of the 2013 GT500, Shelby ended both of those eras and started their own by making a Ford Mustang that could top out at 202 mph with a 5-figure price tag. What got them there? A 5.8-liter supercharged V8 engine producing 662 horsepower, all only having to power less than two tons of car. And when it only needs 3.7 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour, the 2013 Shelby GT500 is a car that’s incredible at any speed. View Listings 1967 Shelby GT500 Eleanor Its premise being the grandest of grand theft autos, Gone In 60 Seconds was a movie that featured plenty of amazing cars. There was, however, one classic beauty that was central to the plot and has a lasting legacy for enthusiasts everywhere, and that was the 1967 “Eleanor” Shelby GT500. Since, Eleanor has become one of the most famous Mustangs of all time, with the iconic body of the first-generation Mustang, and a 7-liter V8 that was good for impressive numbers for the late sixties: 355 horsepower, 6.5 seconds for 0-60, and a 15-second quarter mile, putting “performance machine” right under “pop culture icon” on its resume. View Listings 2016 Shelby GT350R The GT350 is a Shelby Mustang that took the Mustang to a world-class level of performance car prowess, and the GT350R took it a level above that. With the 5.2-liter “Voodoo” V8 making 526 horsepower, a 0-60 time of just 3.8 seconds, and a top speed of 190 mph, it’s safe to say that the GT350R is the best modern Mustang, a car that is more than ready to go to bat for Ford and play against peers like the Porsche 911 and the C7 Corvette. And with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, carbon-fiber wheels, and a soaring wing to keep it on the road, the GT350R’s mission is clear from the moment you first see it: speed. View Listings 2011 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake The 2011 GT500 Super Snake is Super indeed, and it’s specs have stood the test of time. With a 5.4-liter supercharged and intercooled V8 producing 800 horsepower, the Super Snake builds on the already formidable GT500, and takes it to an incredible level. On top of all this power, the Super Snake only weighs 3,751 pounds, meaning that it only takes 4.6 seconds to reach 60 mph, and in 12.4 seconds, and 117 mph, you’ve traveled a quarter mile, and who knows what will happen after that? View Listings 1968 Mustang GT Bullitt It’s no secret that ever since its inception, the Mustang was a legendary car, and a celebrity of its own. That’s why the original 1968 Mustang that Steve McQueen drove in the movie Bullitt became the most expensive Mustang to ever be sold, selling for a bid of 3.74 million dollars this past January at Mecum’s Kissimmee Auction. Even besides its permanent legacy, the Bullitt Mustang was a car born out of a car that was, and still is thrilling and lots of fun to drive. 335 horsepower and a 6.3 second 0-60 time thanks to a 6.4-liter V8 are the reason that Mustang fans and car enthusiasts the world over know that at 52, the Bullitt Mustang isn’t ready to throw in the towel just yet. View Listings 2019 Ford Mustang Shelby Super Snake If the 2019 Shelby Super Snake’s wide body and bulged hood scoop don’t tell you enough about how intimidating it is, maybe the sound of a 5.2-liter supercharged V8 will. But if you still aren’t convinced, the 2019 Super Snake has numbers that will tell anyone just how intimidating it really is. With 800 horsepower, 625 pound-feet of torque, and a 3.5 second 0-60 time, the Super Snake shows that even 55 years on, the Ford Mustang is still the car to beat when it comes to All-American performance. View Listings 2018 Ford Mustang Roush GT Jackhammer Roush has consistently been an important name when it comes to making Mustangs truly come to life. That’s why it didn’t take much to realize that the 2018 Roush GT Jackhammer was a car to be taken very seriously. What it takes for a Mustang GT to become a Roush GT Jackhammer is a supercharger that takes it to the level of 710 horsepower, as well as tires, suspension, and aero to match. That 710 horsepower takes your 0-60 time right down to 3.6 seconds, and your quarter mile time is less than 11. If fast is what you want, the Roush GT Jackhammer is what you should get. View Listings 2018 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet Drag racing is a celebrated American sport, and it’s been home to some of the greatest feats of engineering in the name of traveling in a straight line as fast as possible. So, what better way to celebrate drag racing and 50 years since the first Cobra Jet, than to make a new Cobra Jet, and make it the fastest drag racing Mustang ever? With 870 horsepower coming from it’s 5.2 liter V8, and the ability to cross a quarter-mile in 8.5 seconds at 150 mph, the 2018 Cobra Jet is nothing if not a celebration and a continuation of a heritage of pure performance. View Listings 2019 Ford Mustang Shelby GT-H The GT-H has always been a coveted and rare Shelby model. Its classic black and gold harkens back to a promotion done by Hertz Rent-A-Car 54 years ago in 1966. They placed Shelby GT-H cars in airports across the country and let Hertz customers rent them as part of a Rent-A-Racer promotion, and in 2019, a new Shelby GT-H Heritage Package was released with the same look, and a new attitude. With 480 horsepower coming from a 5-liter V8 and a 4.1 second 0-60, we don’t know how safe it would be to let anyone rent a machine like this today. View Listings 2012 Shelby 1000 There are lots of numbers that Shelby has made Mustangs achieve that before people thought were only reserved to the most elite and expensive of supercars and hypercars. In 2012, Shelby shattered expectations again, by making a Mustang with 950 horsepower, a 10 second quarter mile a la Fast and Furious, and the capability to reach the incredible speed of 215 miles per hour. All of this prowess and performance comes from a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine inside a Ford Mustang, and Shelby took both of those things, as they always do, to the absolute max, making the Shelby 1000 just another moment not only for Shelby history but for automotive history in general.
