The show opens its doors California this Friday November 18 and the new Ford Shelby GT500 is one of the stars of the show. We have no doubt. It is true that the most radical of the Ford Mustang, the last version we saw in 2009, had become a bit outdated with the arrival of the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 . But the Blue Oval has not wait long for his rival. And he does it big. And the Shelby GT500 change radically in the mechanical aspect. The familiar 5.4-liter V8 engine and 540 CVdel previous model increases in displacement and power, going to 5.8 liters and no less than 650 hp.
Ford also has been concerned with reducing, as far as possible, the weight of this muscular sports car. Thus, adding a new driveshaft carbon fiber helps to stop the needle of the scale in 1746 -140 kilos less than the Camaro. But also, to deal with that powerful engine, the U.S. manufacturer adds a new clutch, good news!, associates it with a six-speed manual gearbox.
But if this is not enough for potential customers, the brand also offers a performance package consisting of a new electronically adjustable Bilstein suspension, and a maximum cooling system performance.
