Now you've read about the redesigned Mustang, including 302 high-performance versions Boss and Laguna Seca. There is nothing in comparison with every Ford Shelby GT500 plans to deploy the Los Angeles Auto Show on Wednesday.
Powered by what Ford claims to be the world's most powerful engine for the V8, the GT500 packs at least 650 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque.
It's not a misprint: the 5.8-liter supercharged V8 has 41 more horsepower than the McLaren F1, rather than the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 24, and an incredible 70 more than the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640. On the negative side, which falls short of a Ferrari Enzo pony.
A top speed of over 200 mph (320 km / h) should allow you to deal with almost everything on the road, a bar or a Veyron Koenigsegg.
"SVT Shelby GT500 to be at the forefront of technology, and performance muscle car door to the next level," said Jost Capito, director of Ford's global performance vehicles and Motorsport Business Development.
"We are all housed in the performance of this car - whether it's 00-60, high-speed track or quarter mile times, also, you will also find a daily driver this car is perfect for his needs.".
To achieve these figures, Capito and his team have updated the V8 engine with care by installing a new compressor TVS 2300 that feeds more air into the engine block and cylinder head and camshaft profile drilled to date .
This engine is to create a large amount of heat. Therefore, the cooling system has been significantly updated and has a larger fan, fan, which is a fast decompression device ports, more powerful air charge cooler, higher pump flow intercooler and intercooler heat exchanger is increased by 36%.
Ford's engineers wanted to ensure that the power Shelby really makes the rear wheels and not ruin the rest of the powertrain. Then they upgraded with dual disc clutch shaft, and installed a new drive shaft made of carbon fiber.
After testing more than 35 combinations of transmission of the six-speed manual transmission, they finally made their decision. The new box has reinforced gears, bearings and housing to handle the massive torque. It can be expected in view of the performance: What is surprising is that the selected transmission allows the Shelby GT500 to be exempt from gas guzzler tax ...
"It may seem that we are just a bigger engine in the car. But it was a balanced approach from start to finish," said Jamal Hameed, chief engineer of SVT. "We have completely rebuilt the car to be more sophisticated in terms of management and control than the previous model. "
First, with such speed that sure as hell want to make sure it is on track and off. Therefore, the GT500 offers new support for more than 33% over the 2011 model through the great changes that have optimized the air drag and a higher minimum support dramatically.
You also want to catapult your car 650HP from detention, and not just sit there and chop behind the Eagle F1 Supercar tires Goodyear G pieces. OSF developed by Launch Control, which is integrated in both the control and traction control system takes care of this problem. At some point, you should be killed also, and new Brembo brakes larger discs on all four corners and six-piston calipers front brake make sure you can.
Now that we have verified the performance, technology and boxes braking. Did we miss something? Ah, yes: the problem is not so little grip.
"We took a very different approach to this car so that drivers can choose the settings instead of the computer makes the choice," says Hamid. "Almost every interaction with the system can be adapted to their situation, including Bilstein adjustable electronic suspension, Launch Control, AdvanceTrac and the steering level."
This means that you can keep the electronic aids to give you peace of mind, choose a temporary condition for some shenanigans while maintaining a safety net, or completely disable all systems and sharpening your pants to prove your skills conduct.
Those who want more can order the kit that includes a Torsen limited-slip performance differences, or go all the way with the option package. The last option includes three separate coolers for engine oil, rear differential and transmission cooler and the prevention of these critical components from overheating in extreme driving.
We can not distract Enzo thingy: M. Capito, next time be sure to find an extra two horses. It should not be that hard. And I could brag that their car is more powerful than Enzo.
