Shelby and Hertz Reveal 900-HP Mustang GT500-H Rental Car

May 10, 2022

Tuner Shelby American and car-rental company Hertz first teamed up in 1966 with the Shelby GT350-H, a special performance Mustang for a program Hertz called “Rent-a-Racer.” The two companies have worked together several times since, and now are embarking on a new three-year partnership. The latest collaboration brings two new rental specials, the 2022 Mustang Shelby GT-H and 2022 Mustang Shelby GT500-H.

The GT500-H is based on the supercharged, 5.2-liter V-8-powered Shelby GT500, but instead of the stock car’s 760 horsepower, the Hertz version has been modified to churn out over 900 ponies, making it the most powerful Shelby rental car yet. To achieve this extra power, Shelby fitted a Whipple 3.8-liter supercharger, painted gold, and a Borla cat-back exhaust system. 19 of the GT500-Hs will be painted Shadow Black while six will come in Oxford White, to celebrate Shelby American’s 60th anniversary, all bearing gold racing stripes on the hood and stripes along the rocker panels. The GT500-H rides on aluminum monoblock wheels wrapped in “performance spec tires,” although Shelby didn’t specify the tire model. Shelby also says it saved 30 pounds with a vented, carbon-fiber hood.
