- Hertz Rent-A-Car has more than 50 Shelby Mustang Mach-E GTs for sale.
- Regardless of condition or mileage, it’s asking at least $65,000 for each one.
- The Shelby moniker and rarity might make these cars worthy of the price tag.
Hertz is now ready to offload some of its Shelby Mustang Mach-E fleet. The cars in question sport a special Hertz livery along with a handful of unique bits. Sure, the $65,000 price tag might seem steep, but for those who recall how values of past Hertz exclusives have appreciated, it might not be entirely out of line.
This isn’t Hertz’s first foray into renting out performance cars. Back in the 1960s, the company ran its legendary “Rent-A-Racer” program, offering Shelby Mustangs for anyone who wanted a taste of high-octane fun, no dealership necessary. That program didn’t last, but the concept of renting high-powered pony cars endured. In fact, the Shelby Mustang Mach-E GT is a unique creation just for Hertz. Shelby built just 100 of these cars.

Private buyers couldn’t go to Shelby or Ford to get one. That means that this is the only viable route for one who seeks such a unique car. It clearly features a unique gold racing stripe livery, but wait, there’s more. Every Shelby Mustang Mach-E GT also comes with Borla’s Active Performance Exhaust Sound System. That’s right, this EV can sound like all sorts of gas-powered performance cars.
Beyond that though, there is very little to differentiate it from any other Mach-E GT. Shelby added a vented hood, carbon fiber rocker trim, and a front splitter. A few special badges adorn the interior and exterior as well. The wheels get unique GT-H caps to… cap things off.
That said, are these modifications enough to make these cars worthy of the $65,000 asking price Hertz has on them? The rental car company actually has a more than 50 of these cars up for sale right now and most have somewhere near 10,000 miles on the odometer. Another example has over 63,000 miles and a price of $65,459. That might be easier to swallow if these had a performance boost over the standard Mustang Mach-E GT.
Since that’s not the case, their value rests on their rarity. No doubt, original Shelby Mustangs built for Hertz go for big money today – but they are a completely different kind of animal. Are these EVs worth the cash? Tell us what you think below!
