- Ford Shelby GT500
-

Possibly the most influential car in Playboy’s cars of the year 2007 is the Ford Shelby GT500. If you don’t remember this car, it’s the same one that appears in “Gone in 60 seconds” as alias Eleanor during a car boost and is Nicolas Cage’s “Unicorn”. This indeed is an extremely powerful car that can dish-out a 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds. Thanks to some hardware handed down from Ford's limited-volume GT super car, the all-new Shelby GT500 is a brute Mustang, with 175 hp more than the Mustang GT and 275 hp more than the standard V6 Mustang. The GT500 comes in both coupe and convertible form, with a V8 that cranks out 475 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque.
