Over the exterior of this five-meter car monumental work in the California Design Studio General Motors. Ciel in French means the sky, and especially the increased size of the machine emphasize the link with the classical era of Elvis' Cadillac.

The body of the project Shelby Supercars almost entirely made ​​of carbon fiber, aluminum than steel power the vehicle. Heart Tutara this eight-cylinder engine with two turbines, whose power is approximately 1350 horsepower and a red zone at 9000 rpm.

 In Shelby did not hide the fact that at least claim a place in the top three hypercar. However, in my mind they are likely to hold the pole position and an Oscar in the relevant discipline: to accelerate to 96 kilometers for 2.8 seconds and a claimed top speed of 440 kilometers per hour are more than strong arguments. Currently, the title of fastest car for public roads keeps Bugatti Veyron Super Sport with an indicator 431 kilometer per hour. "Bye" - added by engineers themselves Shelby.
