The Carroll Shelby Centennial Edition Mustang commemorates the 100th birthday of Shelby American founder Carroll Shelby.
Based on the 2023 Ford Mustang GT and available as a fastback or a convertible, this special limited-edition model comes armed with a lot of extra horsepower courtesy of a bolt-on supercharger kit and free-flowing Borla exhaust system. Indeed, that 5.0l V8 now whacks out a massive 560kW. This is transferred straight to the rear wheels via your choice of a manual or automatic gearbox.
To keep up with all this power, Shelby fitted the Centennial Edition with a full set of high-performance springs and sway bars, as well as fully adjustable camber and caster plates. Sticky 305/30 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyres wrap around 20-inch alloy wheels behind which lurk weapons-grade Brembo calipers for maximum stopping power in all driving conditions.
To help differentiate it from the well-known Super Snake, the Centennial Edition comes fitted with a striking array of bespoke performance parts designed to make it stand out. These include wider front wheel arches, a Shelby upper grille and rear spoiler, Shelby tail panel, side rocker wings and satin black vinyl striping.
The cabin has been glamourised with Shelby floor mats, a new gauge cluster, door sill plates and a Shelby-spec leather upgrade.
Want one? Well, you’re in luck, because three of these rare Centennial Edition Mustangs (only 100 are being built) have been allocated to the South African market — each wearing a price tag of R2.8m. Still want to buy? Then best you contact Shelby SANEW . Fast.
