Ford’s Mustang Shelby GT500: The Most Powerful Street Legal Car From The Automaker

Ford (F) has revealed that its 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500 will come with a significant amount of horsepower and torque. The automaker announced on Wednesday that the vehicle’s engine will have 760 horsepower and 625 pounds per feet of torque, making it the company’s most powerful street-legal car to date.

A 5.2 Liter V8 engine will power the vehicle, that has the capacity to reach 60 mph in the mid-three second range and cover a quarter of a mile in 11 seconds, Ford said. This is an increase of 234 hp from Ford’s 2019 Mustang GT350 as listed on Ford’s website.

The Shelby’s engine will drive a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission as the only option on the vehicle and top speed will be governed at 180 mph. Rounding out the Shelby will be Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.

Ford introduced the 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500 in January with the vehicle expected to be at dealerships this fall; spokesperson Daniel Barbossa told CNBC. The third-generation of the vehicle will include a carbon fiber track package and be outfitted without a rear seat, which is designed to reduce the weight of the car, according to Ford.

The price of the 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500 has not been released by Ford, which is expected to come in the months before the vehicle is released to dealers.

Shares of Ford stock were up 0.15 percent as of 11:43 a.m. ET on Wednesday.
