Chote Nawab is fond of his performance cars and SUVs and his imported Mustang Shelby GT500 is one of his favourites
Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan owns a plethora of high-end cars including an Audi R8 Spyder. He is well-versed with his cars and also owns the iconic Shelby GT500. Saif Ali Khan was recently spotted with his son Taimur and wife Kareena Kapoor Khan driving the red muscle car on the streets of Mumbai.
Saif Ali Khan has owned this red Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 much before the American company ever introduced the muscle car officially in India. The actor was spotted with his wife and son at the Worli sea-face in Mumbai. We feel that even the high-profile actors need a breather and driving a muscle car on a breezy day is the best way to get it.
Saif owns a 2008 Mustang Shelby
The Ford Mustang is an iconic car. The Shelby version is the high-performance variant of the muscle car that never entered the Indian market officially.
The man sure does have a knack for his cars
Under the hood, the 2008 Shelby Mustang GT500 carries a massive 5.4-litre supercharged petrol V8 engine. The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500’s V8 engine generates a maximum power of 500 PS and a peak torque of 650 Nm. The supercharger operates at 9 PSI of boost.
The engine is the main highlight of this Mustang. It is made up of forged steel crankshaft, forged steel I beam connecting roads.

There is a six-speed Tremec TR-6060 manual transmission that sits right behind the engine. It sends power to the limited-slip differential. The high-performance car comes with 14-inch Brembo vented disc brakes at the front and 11.8-inch disc brakes at the rear. It also rides on a specially tuned suspension.
Ford started offering Mustang with a convertible roof in 2008. However, Saif chose the hardtop version. Since Ford never got this model to India officially, Saif chose to import it privately many years ago.
This is not the first time that Saif has been spotted driving the car. Saif likes to spend time with the Mustangs and we have spotted the vehicle numerous times before. However, this is the first time that it has come out in open in a few years.

There are plenty of cars in the actor’s garage. His family owns the Mercedes-Benz S-Class which Kareena Kapoor uses. He also owns an Audi R8 Spyder and an Audi A3 Cabriolet.
In the past, Saif and Kareena were spotted driving the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT igniting rumours that he has bought the car. However, the performance SUV was handed to him by Jeep India for promoting the car. He returned the vehicle after a few weeks. The couple was even spotted in a Jeep Wrangler.
