There are those who put the base of an idea and those who keep developing it along the same path. We wonder if Carrol Shelby knew how famous and elegant his passion for cars would become, when he founded the company. He passed away on May 10, 2012, at the age of 89, but it's obvious with the projects produced after his death - his ideas still continue to live and thrive without changing their path- only adapting to the modern and tech advances.

The Mustang is the favorite of them all, and the American-based company decided to release three new Mustang offerings - The "Bundle of Snakes". These 'snakes' are great for a drive down the lane. Celebrating 98 years since Mr. Shelby's birth the American company will build 98 new models.

The First in line is the 2021 Shelby GT500 - a tuned model with a dry carbon fiber performance hood with functional air vents, an upgraded suspension, along small styling modifications. The GT500 is aimed to deliver up to 800 hp and is offered by the Manufacturer at the Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $104,900. The big price is sustained by a charitable cause - a portion of the sum will be given to the Carroll Shelby Foundation.

The second project is the 2021 Shelby Super Snakes powered by a 5.0-liter V8 which delivers 825 hp. Available in two versions - manual or automatic transmission at your choice - a fastback or convertible, has its price start at $133,785. The trio comes with a three-year or 36,000-mile warranty and the original powertrain warranty from Ford.

As a bonus when achieving the Speedster you get a widebody kit that gives a unique styling, Penske track suspension, and a harness bar rear seat delete sold for $4,995.  There's also a kit can that can be used to upgrade a regular GT. It includes functional vents on the hood, Ford Performance suspension, 20-inch wheels, and other styling upgrades.

At least $62,310 will be needed for this massive upgrade, but this package also has another supplementary bonus +700 hp supercharger that could double the cost.
