Carroll Shelby and Ford keep coming up with new ways to work together. After debuting the hot Shelby GT500 at last year's New York show, this team has joined together with Hertz rental cars to create the all-new Shelby GT-H.
This is not the first time that Shelby, Ford and Hertz have all worked together. Forty years ago Shelby created a "Rent-a-Racer" program where Mustang GT350s were made available through Hertz rental car agencies. These were special edition Mustangs painted black and gold that were set up for racing.
The new Shelby GT-H will not be available for sale—it will be available exclusively at select Hertz rental agencies later this spring. To honor the original, the GT-H will be painted in the same color scheme as the original GT350H.

It looks pretty cool, but it stinks that you can't buy one. I bet they will eventually sell them later on.
