Shelby

USA · Founded 1962

Carroll Shelby's vision: American muscle with European handling. The man who put Ford on the racing map and created some of the most desirable performance cars ever built.

Heritage

Carroll Shelby was a chicken farmer, race car driver, and marketing genius who convinced Ford to let him stuff their engines into British roadsters. The result was the Cobra — a car so fast it beat Ferrari at Le Mans. Shelby American then created the GT350 and GT500 Mustangs, turning Ford's pony car into a genuine performance machine. Shelby's cars weren't just fast — they had provenance. Every Cobra, every GT350, carries the weight of racing history.

The 427 Cobra is the ultimate expression of Carroll Shelby's vision: take a lightweight British sports car, stuff the biggest American V8 you can find into it, and see what happens. What happened was one of the most terrifying, exhilarating cars ever built. The Cobra famously beat Ferrari at Le Mans, earning Shelby's World Manufacturer's Championship in 1965. These cars are raw, unfiltered violence — no traction control, no ABS, just you and 425 horsepower in a car that weighs less than a modern Miata.
