Fast and furious: muscle car Shelby targets tuners

Shelby American, the classic builder of hyper-powered muscle cars with the bulked-up Mustang styling, took aim at the tuner generation Tuesday with a new compact based on Ford’s Focus.

The this year Shelby Focus ST is the company’s first push back to the four-cylinder “pocket rocket” sector since founder Carroll Shelby turbocharged four-cylinder sedans in the 1980s.

“It’s something small with big power,” said Shelby American president John Luft as he unveiled the new car at the Detroit auto show.
