Shelby Adds Active Sound to Make Electric Mustang Mach-E Growl

• Shelby American has a performance kit for the Mustang Mach-E.

• It adds (a little) handling and cosmetics to the electric SUV but also adds a Borla active exhaust that makes it sound like a mighty muscle car.

• Problem is, the kit’s only available in Europe, where it costs 24,900 Euros. It won’t be out until July over there.

You knew Shelby American had to eventually expand to electric cars, and the Mustang Mach-E was the perfect car to do it with. Behold: the Shelby Mustang Mach-E GT.

“The Shelby team focused on reducing weight, making it smoother, providing auditory appeal and tailoring the styling to increase performance,” Shelby American said.

“This is our first foray into a production electric vehicle, so we spent a great deal of time testing EVs on the track to understand their unique handling dynamics,” said Vince LaViolette, Shelby American Vice President of Operations. “Based on that experience, we lowered the SUV over an inch, cut weight off the top of it, reduced rotating mass to enhance stability and enhanced the aerodynamics.”

Shelby added a carbon-fiber hood and splitter, custom lightweight wheels that save four pounds per corner, and a handling package. The kit also includes cosmetic features like carbon-fiber mirror caps and door trim, racing stripes, floor mats, Shelby badging and even an official Shelby CSM ID number.
