Ford Shelby GR-1 – The Concept That Will Leave You Speechless Even 10 Years From Now!
by AllAutoExperts | 13 October, 2015
Having been conceived 10 years ago and presented to the public at the Auto Showroom in Detroit, Ford Shelby GR-1 remains to be one of the most 'magnificent' concepts you have ever seen.
The designers have inspired themselves from the Shelby brand when creating the Ford Shelby GR-1 concept. The car has shocked all of the brand's fans; however, it didn't get to a series version.
You will find a 6.4 liters V10 engine under its hood, which uses components coming from the famous Ford GT. The delivered power by the engine to the rear axle reaches 605 hp and 501 ft-lb of torque. The gearbox is manual, with 6 phases.
The name of the car betrays the relationship between the Shelby brand, where the design was inspired from, and the Ford GT sports car, with many of its components.
The body of the Ford Shelby Gr-1 prototype represents a fastback, just like the famous Shelby Mustang from 1960.
