History
Initially introduced in the early 1960s, the Mustang quickly became a symbol of American sporty cars, especially through versions like the Shelby GT350 and GT500. Over the decades, the Mustang evolved across several generations, each marked by distinct styles and architectures — from the first generation to the Fox Body, including the Mustang II and the refreshed 1994 model. The 2005 fifth generation marked a return to strong neo-retro styling cues from the original model. This generation hosted several variants, including the Shelby Coupé, which continued the sporty heritage and prestige linked to the Shelby name while catering to modern expectations.
