Yahoo Autos Shelby Mustang Mach-E GT revealed, but it's only for Europe
The first Shelby version of the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT is coming from Shelby American, and it’s going to be exclusively sold in Europe. Its name is simple: Shelby Mustang Mach-E GT. The changes made to it versus a regular Mach-E GT are relatively minor in scope, too, but let’s get into it.
Shelby didn’t do anything to enhance the Mach-E GT’s straight-line performance, instead opting for handling and styling enhancements. Therefore, it’s sitting on lowering springs that reduce the ride height by one inch. New lighter-weight wheels painted in satin black are fitted, and a bunch of carbon fiber bits aim to reduce weight. In total, Shelby fit the Mach-E GT with a carbon fiber hood, carbon grille, carbon mirror caps and carbon door trim.
In what will likely be a controversial move, Shelby is also fitting this vehicle with Borla’s “Active Performance Sound System” designed for EVs. It’s an external speaker system that Borla has developed to mimic the engine and exhaust noise you’d hear from an internal combustion car. You can listen to it being tested on a Mach-E here. The idea is to create a realistic soundtrack that matches up with driver inputs.
