This is the companion project to the ongoing 2013-15 Mustang concept. Reuses an updated 5th Gen Mustang Platform (DC2), codename S197:http://mustangs.about.com/od/history/a/generation-5.htm.
Having just toured the Shelby Factory and Museum here in Las Vegas (pictures coming), it is clear I need to have a Shelby American corp. sourced version of the Mustang for 2013-15 (next gen).
-'Terlingua'= 3.7 v6 supercharged (unlike the 'ecoboost' turbo v6, but based on the same 3.7 litre). Similar to the current Terlingua special. 350hp; Uses the 'jackrabbit' ferrari like logo
- 'Cobra Jet' or "CJ" = v8 based. 450hp. Uses the snake with 'CJ' logo.
These car will share body parts, and will have totally unique panels foward of the 'A' pillars/doors and rear end cap. New panels will be of fiberglass; Ford will no longer have an in-house 'Shelby GT500' due to cost concerns, and instead Shelby American will take 'tuner' Mustangs in house. Partial build Mustangs will be shipped to Shelby's Las Vegas factory. The cars have a full warrantee. Ford would get a cut of a per car profit. Ford will help market and sell the car as well.
