That menacing looking Mustang Shelby GT50 starring in the upcoming “Need for Speed” flick will make a track stop at the Homestead-Miami Speedway this weekend.
But don’t except any video to surface of the car rumbling out hot laps. The “Need for Speed” GT500, one of the latest in a long line of Mustangs to earn a starring role in a film, will only be serving as a pace car for the final 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup race.

Yup, hold your breath.
Those are the remains of a Shelby Mustang GT500 that went up in flames.
We know, it’s quite painful for us to look at too as we stare at the charred front end of the classic American muscle car. Apparently, the GT500, owned by, Mark Keller, the star of a popular German TV show, met its unfortunate fate during a breakfast run.

One of the latest we’ve stumbled on is a remote control Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 built with 3,500 Lego parts. The model car, developed by a civil engineer by the name of Fernando from Sheepo’s Garage based in Spain, features lockable doors, a functional steering wheel and a realistic suspension.

The “Wounded Warriors” 2012 Shelby Mustang GT500 was sold for $500,000 at the Las Vegas Barrett-Jackson auction. The red, white and blue Supersnake features the signatures of hundreds of people who supported the car’s cross-country tour to raise awareness and money for American military personnel wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan and their families.

When it comes to the Ford Mustang, there is no name more synonymous with the brand and more iconic than Shelby.
For nearly 50 years, the Shelby name has defined the epitome of high-performance Mustangs from the early GT350s to the 200 mph, 662-horsepower Shelby GT500, which debuted prior to Mr. Shelby’s death in 2012.

The 2013 Shelby GT500 Super Snake has an amazing 850 horsepower thanks to its modified supercharged 5.8-liter V8. That’s much more than most street cars, and even more than many race cars. But is it too much horsepower? That’s the question Motor Trend is asking in their latest episode of Ignition. Actually, the magazine asks three questions: does it actually make that much power, is it too much for the car, and how fast is it?

Yeah, yeah. Everyone already knows the current 2013/2014 Shelby GT500 is a powerhouse, but every time I see one pound out 700 HP with just bolt ons, my head spins. Seriously, how is this even possible from a bolt-on, pump gas street car? It’s utter insanity!
