What's inside Lewis Hamilton's mean-machine garage?

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

For all his finesse and delicacy as an F1 driver, Lewis Hamilton can also show some serious muscle when driving on the streets, and it sometimes comes in the form of a Mustang Shelby GT500. He once hashtagged the thoroughbred #Eleonor, referring to the classic 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, but this one is actually a replica built by Classic Recreations, using authentic Shelby parts complimented with a few modern components. Draped out in Hamilton's favourite shade of 'candy red' and powered by a 5.0.-liter V8 Coyote, it's probably as close as one could get to owning an original 'Eleonor' muscle car.
