The ultimate Ford Mustang
– Shelby GT500
raises the bar high on performance with the introduction of
the new 2013 model that goes on sale next year delivering 650 horsepower and a
top speed of more than 200 mph (321 kph).
2013 Ford Shelby
GT500: The New Shelby GT500 sets a performance-driven design standard with new
downforce-generating front grilles, aggressive splitter, new quad exhaust
system and two new forged-aluminum wheels. Also new for 2013 is a 5.8-liter
supercharged V8 engine producing 650 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft toque.
Significant aerodynamic work was done on the new Shelby
GT500 to ensure the car has proper downforce for optimum performance at all
speeds. Engineers were able to determine how to harness the air that was moving
around and through the car to improve the cooling system, maximize downforce
and minimize drag.
Available as part of the optional Performance Package,
SVT-designed Bilstein electronic adjustable dampers are accessed on the dash
with a simple push of a button. Normal mode gives customers a more comfortable
ride over road irregularities. Sport mode is all about performance, delivering
improved response time on the track and less body roll while cornering and
pitch under braking. The Torsen limited-slip differential also comes with the
Performance Package.
The 2013 Shelby GT500 offers two new sets of forged-aluminum
wheels including a unique wheel for cars with the optional packages. The
19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels are coupled with Goodyear Eagle® F1
SuperCar G: 2 tires on all vehicle configurations.
