Mustang fanatics and collectors are typically enamored with Shelby vehicles, particularly the limited-edition black and gold GT-H variations utilized by Hertz. It is the one ex-rental automobile folks pay over MSRP to get. However we’re unsure that enthusiasm applies to the handful of Shelby Mach-E GTs within the rental fleet.

Hertz is dumping the Shelby-branded EVs lower than a 12 months after they went stay. Shelby Mach-E GTs began displaying up on the market again in October 2024, only a few months after Hertz introduced they had been renting them. Both the phrase hasn’t unfold or curiosity is not that robust, as a result of we depend 67 at the moment obtainable via Hertz’s web site. Thoughts you, there have been initially 100 constructed.

Pricing might need one thing to do with that. Each single Shelby Mach-E is listed at $59,995. That is practically double what Hertz is asking for traditional Mach-E GTs from its fleet, which have the identical 480-horsepower output. The Shelby Mach-E GT-H will get a physique equipment, decrease trip top, faux V-8 exhaust sounds, and Shelby branding out the wazoo.

All of the vehicles we discovered on the market had roughly 8,000 to 10,000 miles on the odometer, so it is not like they simply sat round. One automobile in Las Vegas had simply 4,000 miles, whereas one other in Texas was shut to fifteen,000. Every has the identical black exterior with gold trim, and all are priced the identical, whatever the mileage. That is truly down from $65,000 in November, in keeping with Carscoops, so maybe Hertz is motivated to do away with these high-performance EVs.

It appears Hertz is able to transfer on from EV leases normally. A 12 months in the past the corporate determined to downsize its Tesla Mannequin 3 fleet, however not like the Shelbys, these had been priced to promote. Quite a few examples had been obtainable for round $20,000, albeit with significantly extra miles than what these Shelbys have racked up. Because it stands proper now, there are simply 12 Mannequin 3s left on the market via Hertz.
