    2010 Shelby GT500

    We've shown you every other version of the 2010 Ford Mustang, from the base model to the 2010 Mustang GT, in spy photos and in sketches — even the interior's gotten a good look. But until today we haven't seen the highest-of-high-powered new Mustangs in camo-covered glory. Until today. The spy shooters at KGP have gotten us the first spy photos of the 2010 Shelby GT500 hitting the streets of Dearborn and sporting the slithering snake signifying the shaking hand of Shelby. Although the outside's still got the glad-bag anti-spy camouflage, the snake ain't the only thing we can see as it appears the up-powered 'stang'll get a bigger hood bulge and a deeper air dam. At the rear, thanks to the spoiler, the camouflage slipped free from the bottom of the rear bumper, pulling up a bit to reveal some very distinctive detailing. The revamped Shelby sports an aggressive lower valance more reminiscent of a Falcon than a Mustang. But it's the undisguised interior that's the real "get" — as it shows off features we'll be seeing in the upcoming new Mustang in general and on the Shelby GT500 in specific — including a slithering snake on the steering wheel. Check out all the details in the full report from KGP below the jump. More »
