1990 brought numerous changes to the Shelby both inside and out.

Under the hood was the new 2.2-liter SOHC MPI VNT (variable-nozzle turbocharger) intercooled Turbo engine with multipoint EFI is mated with a five-speed high-capacity close ratio manual overdrive transaxle offers 174 hp @ 5200 and 210 lb-ft @ 2400. Full boost is up to 50% faster than the non-VNT engine and virtually eliminates Turbo "lag". The VNT Turbo engine incorporates counter-rotating balance shafts which smooth operation throughout the engine speed range — A technology shared with the Porsche 944.

A 2.5-liter SOHC multipoint EFI intercooled Turbo with three-speed automatic was available as a no cost option. It produced 150 hp @ 4800 with 180 lb-ft @ 2000.

Race-tuned front suspension included positive-sensitive gas-charged front struts that adjust automatically to road irregularities, power-assisted rack-and-pinion maximum control steering with a tight 14:1 ratio and oversized solid anti-sway bars. The ultra-high performance four-wheel power-assisted vented disc brake system had larger calipers and rotors.

Speed-rated P205/55VR16 unidirectional steel-belted radials were mounted on 16 inch cast aluminum unidirectional "pumper" wheels that help cool the brakes.

The exterior featured full wraparound front and rear fascias. Body side ground effects and rear "whale tail" spoiler. Integral fog lights were new for 1990 as was the Shelby a new monochromatic paint treatment.

The interior was completely redesigned into a racing-inspired, wraparound-style cockpit. The Shelby’s new instrument panel brought controls for head lamps, windshield wipers closer to the driver. It included new analog gauges with 140 mph electromechanical speedometer and tachometer. New easy-to-reach panel controls with fingertip operation. Cruise controls were now located on the sport steering wheel.

The new center console houses the center-mounted brake lever, replacing the foot brake from previous years. Electronic suspension controls let you select three distinct ride levels. The new Enthusiast driver’s seat had motorized lumbar adjustments and back-wing supports. Re-engineered climate control system increases airflow and comfort throughout the vehicle.

The T-Top and digital dash were no longer available.

Joel: Antud "sportauto" (st selle jäänuk), mis on küsitava välimuse, haleda dünaamika ja täiesti puuduva mainega võib olla kasvõi ainueksemplar, kuid see ei tee teda paraku väärtuslikumaks kui maailma ainsat fuksiaroosat Snaige külmkappi.
