Seems like a colossal waste of` money to me for what you actually get.

But Steeeekers make the car go fast! I learned that 30 years ago when you could buy chrome 'TURBO' emblems at PepBoys and stick um on your tan Dodge Omni.

This looks like Shelby American dipping its toe in the water for electrics. Their upgrade packages are always very expensive for what you get. I expect we will see more from them in the future. There will almost certainly be a US market Shelby MME at some point.

I'm embarrassed for them. No doubt there are some pretty PO'd folks within the company for this turd.

Wow, that's just sad.

Only thing of value* you're not getting by picking up a K&W coilover kit and some autodesign vinyls is the carbon fiber hood. I suspect a decent fabricator would charge a lot less than 20K euros to do a custom hood.

*The fake sound generator is of negative value, to me at least.

If there aren't any mechanical improvements, that's pretty lame and doesn't bode well for future enhancements. We're in the 3rd year of production.

ETA: wow, yep. Cue sad trombone.

Its comments like these from US that explains why Shelby is offering only 100 for 23 in Europe.
I love the looks; they had to start somewhere.

I've been saying this since the beginning: the 5s limiter is a really good indication that Ford wrung every last drop of performance out of the power system they can reliably get. I was hoping the Shelby announcement would include a new battery system and increased performance, but I knew that was all but a pipe dream. Hopefully this at least puts to rest the idea that anyone's going to be seeing a significant OTA performance increase to the GT.

Me too, but this is just the beginning and its only being offered in Europe for 23. I'll bide my time with the GTPE in my garage and keep fingers crossed on solving the 5 sec limitation. If Telsa did it, then so can Ford (and Shelby American even more so)

Nothing that joe bob can do on jack stands in his driveway counts What a disappointment.

You missed the new hood and mods to the shocks.

It’s the Borla “exhaust system” sound generator kit that I think Borla is going to sell for about $1000-1500 or so.

The one new thing I saw was its ability (to hear) to shift and down shift

If you were lucky enough to get one of these (100 only) in Europe, you would have a collectible.

If you knew your Shelby history you'd remember back in 2007 Shelby made a Shelby GT that was very much like the car revealed today. Hopefully we won't judge you too harshly.

BTW those cars are worth what was originally paid for them today if reasonably low miles.

Last year at Mustang week, got to meet Gary Patterson with his personal (non production) Shelby MME GT PE. I excited for Shelby. Too bad about all the naysayers on SM and even here.

If you are lucky enough to get one of these in Europe, you stand to make a small fortune. No question about it.
