When Shelby American showed off the Shelby 1000 last year at New York, the Mustang realm was wowed. Carroll’s last volley before he passed away later in the spring was a pinnacle of his production car catalog, until now.
Today, Shelby American announced a sequel to this car which they will officially unveil next week at the New York International Auto Show. The 2013 Shelby 1000 S/C will have not 1000, but 1200 horsepower
“The 2012 Shelby 1000 was launched to great acclaim at the New York Auto Show last year to celebrate our 50th anniversary,” said John Luft, president of Shelby American. “We’re bringing back the Shelby 1000 to New York, but with Ford’s new 2013 Shelby GT500 as the base car. With its new engine, launch control, adjustable suspension and other new enhancements, we’ve created a car with even more capabilities. The 2013 Shelby 1000 incorporates everything we’ve learned over five decades of creating high-performance vehicles.”
