Speed lovers has another reason to smile as Shelby American might just give you a chance to drive the beefed up Mustang GT as they plan to bring back their rent-a-racer program.

Reports say that the rental program might be revived as early as next spring just in time for their 50th year anniversary. The Mustang Gts will come in their traditional black and gold configuration and white and gold finish.

Under the hood of the 2012 Mustang GT is a 4.0L naturally aspirated V8 engine that gives out 412 horsepower paired with an automatic gear box. The car manufacturer collaborated with Hertz back in the 190s to build 1,000 units of the high performance Mustang.

After forty years the program returns, although there is limited availability, the GT-H remains to be very popular. The cars have actually been put to sale. Right now, what Shelby wants to find out is if there will be a good number of interested race fans for the 2012 program before they give it a go signal.

Hertz has always been collaborating with Shelby. If the rental pushes thru, Hertz will be offering the Mustang under their Adrenaline collection. Aside from the exciting body finish, Shelby will also boost the car’s power. Most likely we can hear about the details with regard to the car and program once Shelby American takes the next step closer to the implementation of the program.
