Who doesn't know the film? "Gone in 60 Seconds"!? Steal 50 cars in one night! Memphis Raines (Nicolas Cage) tries to do this with his team in the film "Gone in 60 Seconds" (German: "Only 60 seconds left") in 2000 and as is well known, each of the selected vehicles was given a female first name as a code for encrypted communication. But only one name and one vehicle achieved legendary fame among car fans around the world: Eleanor. The legendary Shelby Mustang GT500 from 1967. It was the last vehicle on the list and the star of the film. The hype was so great that with the support of Carroll Shelby personally various replicas were manufactured in small series until 2007 and as GT500E came out onto the street. And since 2013 the production has been carried out by the Californian company Fusion engine from Los Angeles as the only company in the world.

FMC is allowed to build official Eleanor's

FMC is allowed to build official Eleanor replicas under the direction of Yoel Wazana, owner of Fusion. And the company has the blessing directly from Denice Halicki. This is HB Halicki's widow. He starred in the original "Gone in 60 Seconds" from 1974. And the woman has been the rights holder to Eleanor since the actor's death and gave FMC official permission to produce the Shelby movie star. For a conversion, FMC needs one Mustang from 1967 or 1968. All vehicles are in manual work manufactured and are usually in the original paint in gray with black stripes.

However, other color combinations are also possible upon customer request. Of course, every vehicle is complete before the conversion restauriert and disassembled into all individual parts. There are several Reinforcements on the frame because of the new engine. The vehicles carry a body kit made of carbon with the original look and FMC relies on a lot of modern components such as LED Headlight or LED taillights with running light indicators.

Wilwood brake system with 330 millimeter discs

And one too Power Steering, for a surcharge one Drive shaft made of aluminum and Wilwood brake system with 330 millimeter discs and 6-piston calipers on the front axle and rear (optionally even with hydraulic brake booster) is in. To do this, the classic is set to typical Retro rims in 17 inches (Cast aluminum wheels) and equips the wheel set with a Nitto tires in the format 245/45 R17 on the front and 275/45 R17 on the rear axle. If that's not enough for you, you can also open the back 315 / 35 R17 put. For the chassis, the tuner decided on one Detroit speed front frame With a Independent suspension. Adjustable ones come here on request Coilover struts from JRi for use and at the stern there is one Custom multi-link rear axle and coil springs. And as already mentioned, a new engine is also used.

five power levels and two V8 engines

At least the engine is one 5,0 liter Coyote V8 with 436 PS and you equip the engine with one compressors, then even are 608 PS. Alternatively, there is also a 7,0 liter V8 possible that without charging 486 PS or 568 PS supplies. If you equip it with a compressor, then it is up to 760 hp. Incidentally, both engines come from Roush performance. The V8 reports acoustically, no matter which one, but always via one Borla stainless steel exhaust system including manifold. And a proper cooling of the engine ensures Ron Davis aluminum cooler and there is one for that Dual SPAL fans. By the way, Eleanor is switched using either automatic transmission with six speed steps or with a manual one Tremec gearbox with five or six courses. And inside? There is even the legendary one "Go Baby Go" button on the gear lever for the nitro injection and here too many modern features. For example one Air conditioning, Keyless Go, a height-adjustable steering column and Central locking system is installed.
