What comes here is hard to believe! No here is not the legendary Shelby GT500 from the year 1967. On the other hand, there is definitely the Shelby GT500 from 1967. Sorry? Ok, very slowly. The Los Angeles-based tuner MAG Motors has set itself the task of breathtaking every timer to build with the look of the legendary Pony Cars. The base is even here real Shelby MJ2014. And one of the penultimate generation as Shelby GT500 with factory 662 PS. The power version of tuning god Caroll Shelby is known to come with 5,8-liter V8 and giant supercharger. Crazy 856 Nm torque fall over the rear wheels and make the factory 20 Zöller despair.

And all for a price of only 55.000 $ in the US. In this country good 70.000 €, still a bargain. And just this base is the template for the so-called Shelby GT500R of MAG Motors. In essence, the tuner travels the GT500 completely apart and retains only the drive rod and the chassis of the Cobra. The body of the 1967 GT500, made of carbon and faithfully reproduced, is then combined with the new technology and placed on the chassis. Of course, it takes countless other small details until everything fits and there is as seen in the pictures. To enumerate everything here would be beyond the scope. So we refer to the most important thing.
fantastic look and fantastic scenery
And important is the engine. This is pushed by means of sports exhaust system, new software and some minor modifications of 662 PS over 720 PS and is thus even stronger than before the conversion. The factory vehicle already has 360 km / h on the clock and an exaggeration is the least now probably not. And so that a species-appropriate delay is guaranteed to install a Brembo 15 inch brake system with large perforated brake discs. Best of all, the fact that the GT500R retains all the features of modern times. Meaning that with the two distinctive vaults adapted to the ancestor Dynamat interior retains the sporty seats with heating and seat ventilation, there is still a modern navigation and a rear view camera, and also the sound system, the comfortable keyless go or the start button are retained ,
also inside there is 1967er charm in the GT500r
Even the LED interior lighting, the Shelby logo on the floor when opening the doors and safety-related systems such as airbags or ABS are still fully functional. Even that Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) continues to perform its duties in the GT500R and warns the driver when leaving the lane or in the event of a collision. But especially the many small details make the GT500R so breathtaking. For example, the HALO headlights in the front are in the original look, but at the same time they are absolutely high-end and equipped with daytime running lights in the style of the current Mustang and state-of-the-art lighting technology. The same applies to the LED taillights at the rear. Again, there is an absolutely true to the original look paired with modern features.
perforated brake discs in XXL format
Only the matt black, three-piece, 19 × 12 inch MAG Wheels wheelset on Potenza RE11s slippers draws in a little bit of modernity. But here, too, you can install rims in a retro design and let your wishes run free. MAG Motors has already set up 3 such vehicles with a construction time of seven to eight months. With a price of around $ 200.000, including the base vehicle, that's not really excessive in our opinion.
