Hertz & Shelby Debut A 900-HP Ford Mustang You Can Rent This Summer

A 450-hp Shelby-tuned Mustang will also be available to rent as a coupe or convertible.

Shelby American and Hertz have teamed up to offer rental cars with over 900 horsepower (671 kilowatts) in tuned Ford Mustangs. The first vehicles will be available at certain Hertz locations this summer. Prices are currently unavailable. The announcement is part of the companies’ three-year collaborative agreement.

A tweaked Predator 5.2-liter supercharged V8 from the Mustang Shelby GT500-H fastback will produce over 900 horsepower. It will be the most powerful rental automobile Hertz has ever offered.

A carbon-fiber bonnet with large vents will be included on the GT500-H. According to Shelby, the panel will be 30 pounds (13.61 kilogrammes) lighter than the stock piece.

Gold stripes will run the length of the body and along the side sills, paying homage to the original Hertz Shelby Mustangs. The muscle car will be equipped with forged aluminium wheels wrapped in high-performance rubber.

The manufacturing number of the GT500-H will be displayed on a plaque on the dashboard. The cabin will be decorated with Hertz and Shelby American insignia.

The Mustang Shelby GT-H will be available in a convertible and fastback as a less powerful option. Like the current Mustang GT, these versions will be powered by a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 with 450 horsepower.
