During the Mustang's heyday, Ford and Shelby worked hard to explore the possibilities and limits of the Mustang platform and engineering, producing several interesting prototypes. And one of the most popular is the "Green Hornet" from 1968. Although it wasn't the only car they built, the Green Hornet featured the most innovative features like a 390 V8 engine they equipped with fuel injection.

It also had unique disc brakes on all four wheels and an independent rear suspension. With this layout, the Green Hornet was a capable car that handled and stopped better than any other sports car on the market. Unfortunately, the cost of producing those features was too much, so Ford and Shelby decided to go with more conventional technology.
