The Most Powerful Ford Ever - Shelby GT500 Review & Drive
A weapon on the road, drag strip, & track.
The 2020 Shelby GT500 produces 760 horsepower and 625 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful production car Ford has ever built. The car was designed with three goals in mind: dominate the road, track, and drag strip. The 5.2L crossplane V8 engine shares an upgraded block with the Shelby GT350, as well as plasma sprayed cylinder liners. On top sits a 2.65L supercharger, with a clutch that never decouples, encouraging endless boost in the manifold.
I had the opportunity to try out the GT500 on some curvy Nevada roads, as well as on a drag strip, and a race track. On top of this, I had discussions with Ford Mustang chief engineer, GT500 chief engineer, and a cooling systems/aero engineer for the GT500. Check out the video for all the nerdy details about the engineering of this car, as well as how it drives!

2.65 lit supercharger 🤣🤣🤣 makes my polo turbo looks like an AAA battery 😆
Makes my 1.0L NA swift feel non existent.
Lol its double the capacity of my Mazda!
Long live Shelby,I mean the brand... not HIM although I hope so
I wanted another Mustang for 30 years. This one makes me want to take my truck my bike and my car down and trade them all in so that I could afford it, LOL.
That is one beautiful mf
I find it weird that the one glaring difference wasn't mentioned when discussing the weight differences.
The Supercharger itself. How much does it weigh?
He said that the engine itself weighed about 80 lbs more
