A couple years ago Need for Speed was given the rare opportunity to work with the late-great Caroll Shelby to build a truly unique muscle car. The result of this joint venture was the Need for Speed Shelby Terlingua Ford Mustang!
They started off with a 2006 Ford Mustang and its disappointing V6 that Motor Trend once famously quipped ‘belongs at the end of an anchor’. They gave it some more guts and power by dropping a Paxton supercharger into it. Once they had the power in place they then added independent MacPherson struts in the front and three-link coil spring Panhard rod suspension in the rear, as well as adding a NOVI-1200 compressor with an air and water change cooler to the engine.
They then added the Need for Speed edition livery by blacking it out, giving it a wider stance and dropping some nice lines along the body. In the end we ended up with a 375-horse beast that is just waiting for you to put into action!
The real life Terlingua was auctioned off for charity a while ago now but you can buy it now from the in-game car dealer!
pretty nice review you can find here:
