The 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 (S-197 II) is a high performance model refresh built by Ford, but applied with the Shelby name.
The facelift added a unique front fascia, a unique rear fascia, a bonnet with functional vents, and a unique rear spoiler fitted with a functional Gurney flap.
The previously used 5.4L V8 has been fitted with a new cold air intake that allows the engine to produce more horsepower as well as greater torque, and a significantly lighter aluminium 5.4L V8 that uses plasma-coating for enhanced cooling.
