Ford Shelby GR-1 Concept '2005
Two legendary American cars are inextricably linked with the personality of Carroll Shelby: the Cobra and the Mustang. The first of them Shelby created in 1962, when he was forced to end his racing career due to heart disease. His idea of installing a powerful American V8 engine on the lightweight British AC Ace roadster was so successful that it earned the Cobra the status of one of the best sports cars of all time, replicas of which are successfully sold today.
Whichever side you come in - a feast for the eyes. Both modern and muscular - in the best traditions of the American automobile industry. And also - this is Shelby. The legendary brand is once again working only with Ford. At the heart of this concept car is the platform of the new Ford GT supercar.
The engine on the Ford GT is located at the rear, while the GR-1 has a classic layout. The motor is in front, the drive is rear, the gearbox is moved to the rear axle for better weight distribution. The power unit is a 6.4-liter Ford V10.
The camber of the cylinders is 90 degrees, the valves are 40 pieces. As a result, we get outstanding performance for a car weighing only 1700 kg - 605 hp! Paired with a manual six-speed gearbox, the engine accelerates the car to 100 km / h in less than 4 seconds. and provides a maximum speed of 320 km / h.
The impressive design of the Shelby GR-1 is the brainchild of George Saridakis of Ford Irvine Advanced Design Studio. The image of the car harmoniously combines elements of the old school (take a look at the car in profile - a classic fastback from the last century!) And newfangled solutions (lighting technology, general styling of the car, sustained in techno style).
The roof is very low, the suspension of all wheels is independent, the tire size is 275/40 / R19 at the front and 345/35 / R19 at the rear. This car simply has to be amazingly stable on the road. However, the Shelby name itself has always been a guarantor of refined handling and excellent dynamic performance.
