The first Shelby version of the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT is coming from Shelby American, and it's officially here, but only for Europe.
didn’t do anything to enhance the Mach-E GT’s straight-line performance, instead opting for handling and styling enhancements. Therefore, it’s sitting on lowering springs that reduce the ride height by one inch. New lighter-weight wheels painted in satin black are fitted, and a bunch ofbits aim to reduce weight. In total, Shelby fit the Mach-E GT with a carbon fiber hood, carbon grille, carbon mirror caps and carbon door trim.
In what will likely be a controversial move, Shelby is also fitting this vehicle with Borla’s “Active Performance Sound System” designed for EVs. It’s an external speaker system that Borla has developed to mimic the engine and exhaust noise you’d hear from an internal combustion car.

As for why it’s limited to Europe only, Aaron Shelby, board member of Carroll Shelby International and grandson of the company founder, provided an answer. “We elected to initially offer the Shelby Mustang Mach-E GT only in Europe because sales of EVs are growing much more rapidly there than in the USA. And from 2016 to 2021, the number of public EV charging stations increased by 431 percent across Europe. It just makes good business sense for Shelby American.
