Shelby and Hertz 900-HP Mustang GT500-H car rental

The American company Tuner Shelby and the car rental company Hertz first merged in 1966. Shelby GT350-H, a special Mustang performance for Hertz called “Rent-a-Racer”. Since then, the two companies have worked together several times and are now starting a new three-year partnership. The latest collaboration brings two new rental offerings: the 2022 Mustang Shelby GT-H and the 2022 Mustang Shelby GT500-H.

The GT500-H is based on the 5.2-liter supercharged V-8 Shelby GT500, but instead of a 760-horsepower standard car, the Hertz version was modified to produce more than 900 ponies, making it the most powerful car for Shelby rental. To achieve this extra power, Shelby has installed a 3.8-liter Whipple supercharger, painted in gold, and a Borla exhaust system with a cat’s back. 19 of the GT500-H will be painted in shady black and six in white Oxford to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Shelby American, all with gold racing stripes on the hood and stripes along the worn panels. The GT500-H rides on aluminum monoblock wheels wrapped in “performance tires,” though Shelby hasn’t specified the tire model. Shelby also says it saved 30 pounds with a ventilated carbon fiber hood.
