 In Shelby did not hide the fact that at least claim a place in the top three hypercar. However, in my mind they are likely to hold the pole position and an Oscar in the relevant discipline: to accelerate to 96 kilometers for 2.8 seconds and a claimed top speed of 440 kilometers per hour are more than strong arguments. Currently, the title of fastest car for public roads keeps Bugatti Veyron Super Sport with an indicator 431 kilometer per hour. "Bye" - added by engineers themselves Shelby.
