The 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 has been developed by the Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) in collaboration with Ford Racing
and Carroll Shelby.
Where It All Began
Ford SVTs Mission and Purpose
The Ford Special Vehicle Team was established in 1991
to Polish the Ford Oval by creating low-volume, factory-
produced vehicles designed for those select few whose idea
of driving is a high-powered, passionate experience not
just a means of getting from point A to point B
Mission To create vehicles specifically designed to meet
the unique needs and desires of the knowledgeable driving
enthusiast
The Hallmarks of Ford SVT
Performance Increased power, refined road manners
and balancing of engine, suspension and braking systems
Substance Character that is built in, not added on
Exclusivity Low-volume, limited-production products
available only from specially trained dealers
Value A lot of performance and driving pleasure for
the money
Based on the FR500C Grand-Am Cup Mustang that clinched
the 2005 Grand-Am Cup Series Driver, Manufacturer and
Team Championships
Available in Coupe and Convertible models
Comes in seven exterior colors
