2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 order guide leaked online


At the 2010 Mustang's debut in L.A., Mark Fields told the crowd that "another chapter in the Mustang story" would be revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January. With all sorts of camouflaged Shelby GT500's running around Detroit, the assumption is the next generation GT will be the "next chapter."

While Ford has not announced any details about the new Shelby or when it will be released, a leaked order guide posted on MustangBlog.com confirms that the car will be produced as a 2010 model and reveals some details about the new car.

In addition to the new sheetmetal, the Shelby benefits from 19 inch wheels, while the convertible gets 18 inchers. The car will come equipped with an aluminum hood complete with a power dome and a single functional heat extractor.

The supercharged 5.4L remains, but power levels are unknown. A 3.55 ratio is now standard, and the suspension is tuned by SVT. An optional electronics package provides voice activated navigation and and dual climate control. The leather seats will feature a stripe that color coordinates with the exterior stripes as well as Alcantera accents. New exterior colors will correspond with the standard 2010 Mustang and include Grabber Blue, Kona Blue, Sterling Grey, and more.
