Маслкары это апофеоз своеобразия американской автокультуры. В шестидесятые годы они царствовали на дрэгстрипах и улицах, а к началу следующего десятилетия пали под натиском экологических норм, подорожания страховки и топливного кризиса. Немногие уцелевшие влачили жалкое существование, а затем воспряли и пошли по пути прогресса. В этом очерке мы познакомим вас с самыми свирепыми и быстрыми модификациями из современных линеек.

If you’re in the market for a very fast Mustang, the Shelby GT500 is the one for you at $72,900 excluding destination charge. To extract the most performance available, you also have to spend $18,500 for the Carbon Fiber Track Package that includes lightweight wheels and sticky tires. 12 photos
It’s a lot of hard-earned greenbacks, indeed, but it’s a lot of car as well. The most powerful Mustang and most powerful Ford ever produced hits 60 miles per hour (97 kilometers per hour) in 3.3 seconds, and the quarter-mile run takes 10.7 seconds despite the very perceptible wheel spin off the line.

When the S550-generation Ford Mustang got its Shelby GT500 king two years ago, we were somewhat surprised to find out that its maximum velocity is electronically limited to 180 mph (290 kph). And while there is a logic behind that number (more on this below), some enthusiasts seem to long for some added drama at the top. We can t provide that, but we can deliver the next best thing, namely a 2020 Shelby GT500 doing a top speed run with no asphalt in sight. 7 photos
The shenanigan we have here sees a 2020 GT500 sporting the coveted Carbon Fiber Track Package going all out on a dry lake bed, with the mix between the muscle car and the clouds of dust it generates bringing a bit of a Mad Max vibe.
Spending over $100,000 on a Ford Mustang may sound like a lot, but the 2020 Shelby GT500 is no ordinary Mustang.
This particular Shelby GT500 is located in Auburn, New Hampshire and has been outfitted with heaps of options from the factory. Even though the GT500 is still available to order directly through Ford, it’s clear that not everyone is willing to wait around to take delivery as bidding on the car has already hit $105,000, just shy of the car’s $106,685 MSRP.
Immediately catching the eye is a Race Red paint scheme and the optional carbon fiber wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. The car also features the available Carbon Fiber Track Package with a revised front splitter, a manually-adjustable carbon fiber rear wing, lowered ride height, adjustable front strut top mounts, and larger front and rear stabilizer bars.
