Read full article: Ford's most powerful car can cost nearly $100,000(CNN) - Ford's new supercharged high-performance Mustang, the Shelby GT500, is the most powerful car Ford has ever produced and it will have a price to match. The 760 horsepower car will start at about $74,000, including $1,100 in destination charges and a $2,600 federal "gas guzzler" tax. It's far more than the price of an entry-level Ford Mustang which, with its 310-horsepower four-cylinder engine, costs about $26,000. Shelby American, a manufacturer of high-performance cars, originally made Shelby Mustangs by customizing Mustangs purchased from Ford. And Ford now makes its own Shelby Mustangs such as the GT500 and the 562 horsepower Shelby GT350.
