760 HP: Most Powerful Street-Legal Mustang Ever is Coming
Share
DETROIT — The most powerful street-legal Ford Mustang ever built will go on sale this fall.
The Shelby GT500 can go from zero to 60 mph in about 3.5 seconds. Ford didn’t release a precise number. That’s slightly slower than the mid-engine 2020 Chevrolet Corvette, which GM says will do it in under three seconds.
A 5.2-liter supercharged V8 will crank out 760 horsepower in the 2020 Shelby GT500.The new version has a beefed-up suspension and brakes. It also has a seven-speed automatic transmission that Ford promises will shift smoothly on commutes and quickly on the track.
The engine is hand-built at a Michigan factory and comes with unique pistons and other parts. It can crank out 625 foot-pounds of torque, a measure of rotational force.
The Shelby GT500 can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in around 3.5 seconds, although Ford didn’t release a precise number. That’s slightly slower than the mid-engine 2020 Chevrolet Corvette, which General Motors says will do it in under three seconds.
Price Starts at $73,995
Performance powertrain engineering manager Patrick Morgan says the new version is aimed at Mustang enthusiasts who also want track performance.
He said the car can go from zero to 100 mph and back to zero again in 10.6 seconds.
The car comes with pumps that can send gas to the fuel injectors all the way until the tank is empty. It also takes 11 quarts of oil with an oil pan that can keep the engine lubricated during extreme cornering moves on the track.
The car starts at $73,995 including shipping and a $2,600 gas-guzzler tax. Ford says it hasn’t finished fuel economy tests.
