Any soccer fanatic will know that Christian Pulisic is an impressive American soccer player, so impressive that his successful career has enabled him to acquire an envious car collection. Sure, Pulisic's collection is petite compared to countless other soccer players' automobile troupe.
But that doesn't take away from the fact that it is truly memorizing, with a stunning Ford Shelby GT500 sitting center stage. His ongoing spell at Chelsea FC hasn't altered the player's true American spirit, as he often flaunts his fierce pony car. What does it mean when you become a successful soccer player with masses of money? An impressive car collection, of course.
The American Superstar is a huge car enthusiast who takes pride in calling some of the world's most iconic vehicles his own. Christian's most outrageous and impressive cars include a McLaren 570 S, a Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, and a fierce Ford, to name a few. Although controversial, the Ford Shelby GT500 stands out in Pulisic’s garage which is filled with cool sports cars and supercars. Let’s take a look at just how impressive Christian Pulisic’s Ford Shelby GT500 is.
Christian Pulisic's GT500 Flaunts A Stunning Exterior
Arguably, Pulisic’s best-looking car is his Ford Shelby GT500 which is one of the most aggressive-looking muscle cars available on the market today. It’s through its curvaceous body and ridged edges that it flaunts this aggression and fierceness. Due to its shouty looks, the Ford Shelby GT500 was featured in the American film "Need for Speed", which got gearheads drooling and made the Ford Shelby GT500 even more appealing, admired, and desired.
Not only was the Ford Shelby GT500 an incredible performer, but it was also pretty comfortable and functional inside. Pulisic’s Ford Shelby GT500 is pulled up with leather bucket seats, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, and an optional sunroof. Satellite radio, Bluetooth, and a rather impressive sound system came as standard in his GT500, meaning that drives could be entertaining and enjoyable both inside and out. The American players' magnificent GT500 housed impressive features such as cruise control, heated front seats, and air conditioning, driver-orientated features that all contributed to a comfortable and enjoyable journey.
Pulisic's Ford Shelby GT500 Produces Brag-Worthy Performance
Pulisic’s Ford Shelby GT500 is a force to be reckoned with. Its fierce yet outstanding body shell houses a 5.2-liter supercharged V8 engine creating over 760 hp and 625 lb-ft of torque. It is able to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds. But Pulisic’s Ford Shelby GT500 wasn’t the most powerful Ford Shelby GT500, as the one used for filming ''Need For Speed'' could unleash an absolutely insane 900 hp. Still, the almighty 5.2-liter V8 engine shelved inside Pulisic’s Ford Shelby GT500 was powerful enough and impressive enough to make any gearhead drool.
After upgrading almost every element of the new Ford Shelby GT500's V8 engine, Ford created an engine that proved to be one of the most reliable and trustworthy engines ever created. The Ford Shelby GT500’s roaring engine was connected to a smooth and reliable 7-speed automatic transmission and a rear-wheel-drive system. The result of this was a smooth and gracious yet fierce and aggressive drive that never failed to excite its drivers and passengers.
Factors That Contributed To Its Insane Performance
It’s clear that Pulisic is thrill-thirsty, as his Ford Shelby GT500’s performance was pretty insane. The biggest factor that contributed to its immense performance was, of course, its hefty and thunderous V8. But factors that also contributed to the robust and commanding behavior of the GT500 were its ABS and brake assist, stability, and traction control.
Combining these factors with its impressive 7-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive system, the GT500 was able to reach speeds of up to 186 mph and provide a thrilling and rip-roaring experience. After looking at Pulisic's Shelby GT500 it displays the $10,000 Carbon Fiber Handling Package offered by Ford.
What this package offered was 20-inch carbon-fiber wheels, adjustable strut-top mounts aiding the suspension, and extra aerodynamic components. Surprisingly, the Shelby GT500 had excellent handling and took corners easily, which is outstanding at first sight because it looks beefy, thickset, and muscular. Yet its aerodynamic capabilities were beyond belief, which is easy to see when it reaches 186 mph on almost all surfaces.
A soccer superstar has the pick of the bunch when it comes to cars; with their wages, they could literally possess any car in the world. Yet Christian Pulisic has made the perfect decision to add the Ford Shelby GT500 to his collection. A speed-chasing monster that provided a comfortable yet ferocious drive. With plenty of home comforts and entertainment technology, the GT500 performed almost as well as a family car as a furious, fast, and raging high-performance muscle car.
