Introduction
For fans of the Ford Shelby, the new model of the Shelby GT500 has recently been spotted during testing, covered at the engine and front air intakes. Clearly, this car boasts a more aggressive design compared to the GT350 and GT350R, and it is expected to be faster and more powerful.
Exterior Design
The camouflage predominantly covered the front of the car, indicating a design that is significantly more powerful than its Mustang predecessor. Here are some key details:
- A larger hood with enhanced air intake openings.
- A wing similar to that found on the GT350R.
- Equipped with sporty Michelin tires.
Engine and Performance
The vehicle is expected to feature a 5.0-liter or 5.2-liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine, producing an estimated power output between 750 and 800 horsepower. With this engine, Ford aims to compete with:
- Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
- Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat
Launch Date and Price
The Ford Shelby GT500 is set to debut at the auto show towards the end of this year or early next year, before becoming available for sale later in 2017. The price is likely to be higher than that of the GT350 and GT350R, potentially reaching $65,000, which is approximately 239,000 AED.
