Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has already a beast-title pegged on its overall system. But for those of you who still unsatisfied the the already beast provided by the muscle, then you should visit Geigercars because the tuning firm from Germany has released a tuning package to turn the GT500 into a GT640. The package called the Golden Snake.
So what will the owners get from the GT640 Golden Snake package? The engineers from Geigercars will start with a modification at the engine benefiting from a large 2.3 liter compressor and also a Geiger stainless steel sport exhaust system. Additional performance updates include an added ECU software. With those stuff, the tuner promises to bring a 640HP and 790 Nm of torque output to enable the car getting a 3.7 seconds of sprint time for 0 to 100 km/h and reaching a top speed of 295 km/h.
Then it continues to styling matters. On the exterior changes, the designers of Geigercars wrapped the Shelby GT640 Golden Snake with a gold paint job mated with bespoke graphics and stripes. They also added carbon materials for the front spoiler lip as well as on the hood which works together with a couple of air intakes. To connect to the road, the vehicle will use a set of matte black Geiger wheels sized 8.5×20 inch front and 10×20 inch rear, wrapped in Michelin Pilot sports tires dimensioning 255/35ZR20 and 285/30ZR20. No details about the interior, it looks like Geigercars has also some touches with that spot, we wish for if they haven’t.
The last, to handle the performance updates, Geiger has utilized component from H&R to improve the ride and handling system. Hit the jump for the full details on the tuner’s press release
Press Release:
Ford Mustang Shelby GT640 Golden Snake
Anybody who was once able to drive a Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500, knows of what earthy power outbreaks the current generation of this automobile legend is capable of even when it operates with factory settings: smoking rear tyres are not a problem even in higher gears and, once incited, the GT500 becomes a wild animal. Logically, it has its radiator grill with very good reason: the cobra with a widened sign on the neck stands for pure aggressiveness.
Based on this power vehicle, US car specialist GeigerCars.de from Munich now placed the company’s youngest show car on its wheels: the Ford Mustang Shelby GT640 “Golden Snake”. The name absolutely reflects the mission of the company!
The 5.4 litre V8 has been prescribed a large 2.3 litre compressor as well as a Geiger stainless steel sport exhaust system, so that the eightpointer – after a mandatory software adaptation – sends now a wailing, whopping 640 PS (series: 548 PS) to the back wheels. The mechanically loaded engine produces 789 Nm on the crankshaft at the highest point of the torque. After picking up strength, the Mustang catapults itself in only 3.7 seconds to 100 km/h and reaches a top speed of 295 km/h.
A novelty in the Mustang history is the material of the engine block. This consists from the model year 2011 (series) namely of aluminium, which significantly reduces the load on the front axle and, thus, gives the Power Coupe a significantly better position on the road.
Equally conducive to the increased efficiency – even though it might sound baffling at first – is the carbon engine bonnet. An intake air channel was skilfully integrated into the engine bonnet, so that the airflow will be optimally introduced to the combustion chambers. The front spoiler lip also consists of the typically shimmering carbon fibre, while the remaining body – nomen est omen – was painted in dead gold, which lights up fascinatingly especially when the sun is low in the sky. This is contrasted by the matt black Geiger rims with ring accentuation in the colour of the vehicle, which are used in the sizes 8.5×20 inch front and 10×20 inch rear. These have been fitted with super Michelin Pilot sports tyres with the dimensions 255/35ZR20 and 285/30ZR20. An adjustable sports chassis from H&R provides for optimal ground grip of the handy tyres. In addition, the Mustang was equipped with a high-quality sound system with EU navigation.
And: The demo vehicle is for sale! For 89,000 euros the “Golden Snake” will change its owner.
