Shelbly American is paying homage to the popular Rent-a-Racer program of the 1960s with a limited-edition model based on the Ford Mustang GT.
Called GT-H, the special Mustang is immediately recognizable thanks to a distinctive black and gold paint job that pays homage to the original Ford Shelby GT350-H. It also gains Hertz Edition emblems on the front fenders, and a Shelby-designed body kit that includes a carbon fiber front splitter, side skirts, and a trunk-mounted spoiler. Finally, the GT-H rides on 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped by Michelin Pilot Sport all-season tires.
Inside, renters will find special sill plates, GT-H-specific floor mats, and a numbered plaque on the dashboard.
Power is provided by a stock, Mustang GT-sourced 5.0-liter V8 engine that makes 435 horsepower and 390 lb-ft. of torque. Transmission options remain unconfirmed, but Shelby has added a new exhaust and a sportier suspension that allows enthusiasts to make the most of the eight-cylinder’s output.
Just 140 examples of the Shelby GT-H will be built by Shelby in Las Vegas, Nevada, and available to rent through the Hertz Adrenaline Collection beginning Memorial Day weekend. The car will only be available at select Hertz airport locations scattered across the continental United States.
