If you had to pick two of the most exciting cars from the Ford stable, the Mustang Shelby GT500 and the Ford Bronco would probably make up the enthusiast's ideal two-car garage. The former is insanely quick and the latter is insanely capable off-road. So they're very different vehicles built for very different purposes, but that didn't stop a circuit race between the two from happening. The below video shows how it went down, and as you'd expect, the Bronco is severely outpaced and needs to take more than a couple of shortcuts to stay in the race, but it's the end of the video that piques our interest.

As the video draws to a close, Shelby American CEO Gary Patterson suggests that Shelby ought to apply its unique touch to the Bronco, to which Shelby Hall responds that it's a great idea. We saw a one-off based on a similar idea cross the auction lot earlier this year, albeit with the 1972 Bronco, but the idea is clearly one worth pursuing. We know that Ford is working on a hardcore version of the Bronco called the Warthog, but this will be more off-road focused than any other Bronco. Shelby American, on the other hand, is all about going faster.

Sadly, all we have for now is the suggestion that there will be a Shelby Bronco, so we don't know if Shelby will look to extract more power from the current range-topping engine - a 2.7-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 generating 310 horsepower - or if the the plans could involve a V8 of some sort. We don't doubt that it would be possible to make a V8 work, perhaps even with a supercharger, but the issues of cost and demand will play a role. Although this is just a teaser, you can bet that Shelby is working on making a faster version of the Bronco. And you can bet it will be worth the wait, whatever engine it has.
