Cobra has been the consistent performance label as Shelby worked with Ford for most of the last 60 years, and Shelby was instrumental in the creation of Ford performance vehicles including Cobras, the GT40 and Mustangs since the mid-1960s.<\/p>\n<p>2013 Shelby GT500 Cobra<br \/>\nThe unique tribute car was unveiled by Ford Motor Company board member Edsel Ford II, Ford\u2019s group vice president for sales and marketing Jim Farley, and Shelby American president John Luft at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion where Cobra is the marque of show for 2012.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven at 89 years of age, Carroll was an inspiration to us all,\u201d says Farley. \u201cThis year marks the 50th anniversary of the original Shelby Cobra. The one-off car we have created represents the very idea he had about making the 2013 Shelby GT500 into a true Cobra.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Using the 662-horsepower 2013 Shelby GT500 as a foundation, \u201cFriends of Carroll\u201d created the one-of-a-kind 2013 Shelby GT500 Cobra wide-body Mustang that now generates more than 850 horsepower with the help of a Ford Racing 4.0-liter Whipple supercharger.<\/p>\n<p>Putting that much power to the ground requires plenty of traction, so the 13-inch-wide rear wheels are wrapped in massive 345-section high-performance tires for extra grip.<\/p>\n<p>Ford Motor Company teamed up with Shelby American for several key components on the Carroll Shelby tribute car. Shelby American provided a specially designed hood, new rear wide-body kit, Shelby Wilwood brakes and new 20&#215;13-inch rear and 20&#215;10-inch front wheels. The bodywork is finished in the same Guardsman Blue with Wimbledon White stripes that graced so many of the Cobra roadsters built in the 1960s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCarroll Shelby changed the performance world forever,\u201d says Luft. \u201cAnd while he was proud of Shelby American\u2019s achievements, Carroll was far more interested in the next car we would build. You will find the spirit and influence of Carroll Shelby in every future vehicle we build just as you\u2019ll find it in the rear wide-body kit and hood integrated into the 2013 Shelby GT500 Cobra.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou might also know that Carroll was a philanthropist, noted for supporting causes that moved him,\u201d adds Farley. \u201cIn that spirit, this car will be taken on tour around the country, and hopefully will be used in a special way at the end of its tour \u2013 a way Carroll would appreciate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before the 2013 Shelby GT500 Cobra hits the road, it will be shown at the Ford display in the expo area at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Story by Ford Motor Company<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2013_Shelby_GT500Cobra1.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"702\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2013_Shelby_GT500Cobra1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"2013 Shelby GT500 Cobra\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2013_Shelby_GT500Cobra1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2013_Shelby_GT500Cobra1-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2013_Shelby_GT500Cobra1-100x69.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2013_Shelby_GT500Cobra1-770x528.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2013_Shelby_GT500Cobra1-293x201.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>\r\n                Friends of Carroll Shelby builds a one-of-a-kind 2013 Shelby GT500 Cobra to commemorate the late Carroll Shelby.
