Designated as the spiritual successor of the Shelby GT that was built from 2007 to 2008, the new GTS represents the base model in the Shelby lineup. According to company president John Luft, Shelby's average buyer is in their late '50s, and the iconic tuner hopes to bring in a younger crowd with a more affordable offering.

Available as a post-title package on both the Mustang GT and the Mustang V6, the GTS includes a variety of upgrades including a Ford Racing handling pack, Borla exhaust system, Baer brakes, unique front fascia, Le Mans stripes and a deep-draw hood. Optional components include superchargers for both the V6 and the V8, a Watts-link rear suspension system, upgraded brakes and more.

Pricing for the Shelby GTS starts at $9,995, not including the base car, which means a customer can get their hands on one for as little as $32,000. You can read more details about the Shelby GTS in the official PR after the jump.

Do they give you a big discount if you buy it without the fugly hood and front bumper?

 

 

The hood looks like an updated version of the 05 Shelby/Hertz rental car. The front bumper looks like "how ugly can we make it and will people still buy it" concept.

 

I am getting to like the gts. Maybe get one and have ol Shell throw a supercharger on the 5.0.

 

I love the hood and front of the GTS. The front is the same as the GT350 but the hood is the deep draw hood way cooler than that stupid retro none functional scoop they had on the GT350. I wish they would sell those parts but they don't maybe some one will make copies.
