New '700bhp+' Mustang Shelby GT500 Is Ford's Most Powerful Road Car Ever
Ford is fed up of playing second fiddle to Dodge in the power stakes, so to take on the Challenger Hellcat it's brewing a special supercharged Mustang
Something big is coming from Ford. The company has confirmed a new Mustang Shelby GT500 for 2019, and it’s going to have at least 700bhp.
It’s going to have a supercharged V8, most likely derived from the current 5.0-litre unit, and it’s going to be Ford’s most powerful road-legal production car ever. As you’ve probably guessed, Ford has had enough of being outgunned by Dodge’s 707bhp Challenger SRT Hellcat.
It follows the Ford-sanctioned Roush supercharger conversion that acts as a stop-gap 700bhp solution. Bank on functional aerodynamics and ‘track technologies’ in a car derived from Ford’s relevant motorsport programmes. We can’t wait to see (and hear) it.

How many teasers you’re going to make, Ford?
Wow! Ford are going all out! First the Ford Mustang Bullit and now this 700bhp+ GT500. It would be great if this wasn’t overshadowed by the new Mach 1 electric SUV though.
Que a load of the same old Mustang crash videos…..but faster.
First we get a mustang bullit and now this?!?!
What a time to be alive!
When will they release the new Cobra Jet? 😎
hmm Cobra or Hellcat?
I sense a difficult decision arising…
I just wish that someone won’t put another mustang-crowd jokes here. It’s a very jaded jokes.
I think that Ford have a petrolhead as their chief engineer (Mustang Bullitt, this GT500), but also a improved clon of Ethan (the Mach 1 electric SUV)
So does this mean, that I have to run faster if I’m in the crowd?
So a 700 + Hp crowd pleaser then!!!????
