At the time we only had a few renderings to show you, but the company has just released a slew of new photos showing off every detail of the just-finished prototype car. <\/p>\n<p>Named the GT500CR, the old-but-new Shelby mixes both modern and classic components for the best of both worlds. Rack and pinion steering, a modern suspension, drilled and slotted Baer brakes and tight-fitting fiberglass body panels are all improvements over the original &#8217;67 Shelbys, and the 427ci V8 putting out 545 horsepower ensures it will be quite a bit faster too.<\/p>\n<p>The GT500CR also offers a deluxe 1967 interior with Carroll Shelby signature seats and gauges, 17-inch wheels and tires, nine-inch rear end and a Tremec transmission. Feeling brave? You can also opt for the Venom model that adds a supercharger system good for 780 horsepower. Get all the details in the high-res mega gallery below.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/classic-recreations-shelby-g-t-500cr\/low\/\">Classic Recreations Shelby G.T.500CR<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/classic-recreations-shelby-g-t-500cr\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/01crshelbygt500cr_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/classic-recreations-shelby-g-t-500cr\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/02crshelbygt500cr_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/classic-recreations-shelby-g-t-500cr\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/03crshelbygt500cr_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/classic-recreations-shelby-g-t-500cr\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/04crshelbygt500cr_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/classic-recreations-shelby-g-t-500cr\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/05crshelbygt500cr_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.1967fastback.com\/\">Classic Recreations<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/25\/classic-recreations-shelby-gt500cr-shows-its-face-in-las-vegas\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Classic Recreations Shelby GT500CR shows its face in Las Vegas<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/25\/classic-recreations-shelby-gt500cr-shows-its-face-in-las-vegas\/\">Classic Recreations Shelby GT500CR shows its face in Las Vegas<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Thu, 25 Feb 2010 20:00:00 EST.
