Beneath the skin, the Coyote V8 engine is topped with a massive Whipple supercharger and now pumps out 810 HP. Mated to this engine is a Tremec six-speed manual transmission with a 3:70 gear ratio that sends power to the wheels through a 9-inch rear end. The GT500CR also features Vaporworx twin electric fuel pumps, Magnaflow mufflers, dual 2.5-inch exhaust, BeCool aluminum crossflow radiator, Stainless Works long tube headers, and a pair of 13-inch electric cooling fans.
Other performance modifications made to the car include Wilwood six-piston front brakes and four-piston rear brakes biting down on slotted, cross-drilled, and zinc washed brake discs. There are also adjustable front and rear coilovers, oversized front and rear sway bars, and a powered rack and pinion steering conversion.
The custom touches continue in the cabin where each and every GT500CR bound for the road includes Carroll Shelby Scat Rally Series 1000 seats, 5-point seatbelts, Carroll Shelby signature white gauges, a leather-wrapped aluminum steering wheel, Carroll Shelby GT500CR floormats, and a host of Alcantara accents.
Prices for the Shelby GT500CR Carbon Edition start at $298,000.
