The Chicago Auto Show holds a special place in history for Ford's SVT. It was there, twenty years ago when Ford introduced the Mustang Cobra and SVT. Today, Ford celebrated the anniversary of SVT by showing the Shelby GT500 convertible.
The Shelby GT500 Convertible is indentical to the coupe; same 5.8L Supercharged V8 pumping out 650 HP and 600 lb-ft of torque. Same carbon fiber driveshaft, upgraded clutch, transmission, and axle.
The Convertible will have available a performance package that includes Bilstein electronic adjustable dampers specially developed by SVT and a track pack that includes external oil cooler, differential cooler and transmission cooler.
And no, the GT500 convertible will not go 200 MPH. Ford has limited the convertible to 155.
