Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 arrive at full gallop

Tired of seeing the Chevrolet Camaro monopolize the attention, Ford offers its V8 Mustang as the most powerful car has ever known.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is a nice success for Ford. Alas, it is no longer alone in the world. The Chevrolet Camaro, and to a lesser extent, the Dodge Challenger, a challenge for the crown. To recover from such a trap, Ford launches a real arms race, just like that between the three cars of the same name in the early 70′s.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 introduced in……..

In Los Angeles, a new Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is thus introduced. Under the hood, a monstrous V8 650 hp and 813 Nm of torque. Tired of working on 4-cylinder EcoBoost engine to the ridiculous, the engine of the Blue Oval took their revenge. 5.8 to the compressor is certainly not the largest motor group, but this, according to Ford’s V8 “production” the most powerful in the world. The Corvette ZR1′s 647 hp and is beaten on the line … Ford automatically excludes the Gumpert Apollo Koenigsegg and others, which are even more powerful in V8 class.

Like most American supersport, the GT500 relied on a six-speed manual transmission to transmit the power dissipation. The limited slip differential is optional as part of a pack performance. A highly recommended option for a car whose rear axle remains hopelessly rigid.

The performance of this monster has not yet been disclosed. All we know is that the car will exceed the magic barrier of 200 miles per hour, of our 321 km / h. The ZL1 Camaro and its 580 ponies found to talk to. Managed speed for Ford Mustang Shelby GT500
