Shelby to Debut Two New Models in Detroit, Including a Wide Body Super Snake

It's been almost 8 months since Carroll Shelby, one of America's greatest legends in the auto industry, passed away at the age of 89, but his legacy lives on through the company he founded and which today bears his name.

As life goes on for the company, Shelby is preparing to unveil two new models at the upcoming Detroit Motor Show.

In a posting on the brand's website, Gary Patterson, Shelby American vice president of operations, confirmed one of them and provided some hints about the other.

Take a Back Seat and Enjoy the SEMA Hoonigan Drift Party

Static presentations aside, visitors at this year's SEMA aftermarket show also enjoyed, how should we say, a few extracurricular special events, which took place just across the street of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

One of those events was the Global Rally Cross held at a makeshift racetrack that you can watch in the second video after the break, but that's not the real reason why we're telling you this.

CarScoop Exclusive: The All-New 2015 Ford Mustang Precisely Imagined

As mentioned in our recent 'The New Faces of CarScoop's 2015 Mustang' article, we have been working hard over the past few weeks to give you the most accurate look of the 2015 Mustang yet.

Hours upon hours have been consumed in getting the look as close to the real thing as possible via feedback and our own extensive investigation, and now, we can finally show you the next generation of pony car. Make no mistake; this isn't our view of the next Mustang, but how Ford's designers are actually imagining the car to look like.

The Mustang has been Ford's halo car since 1964, and the 2015MY 'Stang is expected to emerge from the stables in time for its 50th birthday. This nameplate is one of the longest running in Ford's automotive history - and that's something you do not want to mess up. Bearing this in mind, taking on the challenge of rendering the actual 2015 version was hugely exciting.

Working closely with our own sources as well as gathering all the extra information we could, including from a Ford forum thread that concerned a recent consumer clinic about the next Mustang (and which by the way, has since been shut down…), we created these renderings. The car in question has been designed in GT trim, so one can expect even wilder versions like the Boss 302, CS, and GT500 down the track.

Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s Drift Escapade Around Brand New Mustangs Leaves Some Marks

One of the many perks of being a professional drifter is that you have the opportunity to do things that other drivers can only dream of, like for example, sliding between and around brand new cars at a manufacturer's facility.

Welcome to the tedious world of Vaughn Donald Gittin Jr. who was summoned by Ford to its Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan, which beginning in 2004, has built every Mustang to date at an average pace of 500 cars per shift.

The New Faces of CarScoop's 2015 Ford Mustang, Allegedly Tweaked to Resemble the Real Thing

Not too long ago, CarScoop's design guru Josh Byrnes gazed into his "crystal ball", as he said, to see what the future holds for the next generation of the Ford Mustang by offering his own interpretation of the pony car's styling.

Josh's speculative take blended the shape and styling elements of the retro-penned fifth generation model (both the original and the facelifted versions) with hints from Ford's modern design language as displayed in cars like the production Taurus and the conceptual Evos.

Several sites and forums quickly picked up the rendering with readers touching up our original design (we can assure you, none of them asked us), some of whom lightly modded the rendering with new elements like the headlamps based on what they heard from owners who rated the next Mustang at a recent consumer clinic.

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 ще бъде по-бърз от Mustang Shelby GT500

Според главния инженер на Chevrolet Alu Oppenheiser новият Chevrolet 2012 Camaro ZL1, ще бъде по-бърз от най-новия Mustang Shelby GT500, който се очаква да влезе в продажба през 2013 г.

На хартия, числата определено са на страната на Mustang. Представителя на Ford тежи 1733 кг. и развива мощност от 650 к.с. с 813 Нм въртящ момент от 5.8 л. V8 двигател с компресор тежи 1733 кг, докато Camaro ZL1 тежи 1854 кг. и развива 580 к.с. с 753 Нм въртящ момент от 6.2 л. V8 двигател с компресор.

Въпреки това Oppenheiser твърди, че в Chevrolet са направили симулация, която потвърждава, че не само Camaro ZL1 ще бъде по-бърз при ускорение до 100 км / ч, но също така и в известната писта Нюрбургринг.

В последния тест от Motor Trend е записано, че Camaro ZL1 е успял да ускори от 0 до 100 км / ч за 3.8 секунди.
