If you're in the market for a new Shelby Mustang, there's a good chance it will have a supercharger under the hood. But now, Shelby is mixing things up with a new turbo package for the 2005 to 2009 Mustang for those looking for a different type of forced induction.
"Though we've offered supercharged packages for vehicles for several years, many enthusiasts longed for a turbo option because of the different driving characteristics offered with this type of force induction," said Amy Boylan, president of Shelby Autos. "The Shelby Turbo was created to fulfill that need."
To build it, Shelby teamed up with California-based Turbonetics for a turbocharger embossed with the Shelby name and Michigan-based Mustang Racing Technologies to create the kit. The result is an impressive 550 hp that's 50-state legal. The kit also includes Shelby's Baer brake system, Borla exhaust, a short-throw shifter, suspension upgrades, new wheels, a new hood and grille, and new interior pieces including a gauge pod, floor mats, and an official plaque.
