Agora sim... Absurdo!
Quero ver top gear colocar QUALQUER carro europeu da MESMA faixa de preço do lado para passar vergonha!
Highlights:
"I've worked with the SVT guys for several years now," says Shelby. "And I know they have the guts, the talent and the passion to deliver the best performance Mustangs ever."
Featuring a 475-horsepower supercharged 5.4-liter 32-valve V-8 with a 6-speed manual transmission, race-tuned suspension and four-piston Brembo brakes, the new GT500 packs a heavy dose of pure American muscle to back up its aggressive looks. Its unique front-end design, bulging hood with heat extractors, rear spoiler, and unmistakable Le Mans racing stripes tells the world this is not your typical Mustang. To mark the melding of Mustang performance icons, the GT500 also features Shelby, Cobra and SVT badging.

The Shelby's supercharged 5.4-liter, 32-valve V8 is similar to the engine in the GT. Ford started with the cast-iron 5.4-liter Triton V8 truck engine and added aluminum heads from the GT, specially calibrated camshafts, a Roots-type supercharger making 8.5 pounds of boost, and a water-to-air intercooler.
SUREFOOTED PERFORMANCE
A major goal set for the Shelby GT500 was to take Mustang handling to the next level. Ford Special Vehicle Team chassis engineers worked to deliver a whole new set of standards worthy of the Shelby GT500 name.
The GT500 retains the same Mustang suspension setup that helped the Ford Racing FR500C win the 2005 Grand-Am Cup championship and claim the manufacturer’s title for Ford. The front features coil-over MacPherson struts with reverse “L” lower control arms made of lightweight I-section steel. In the rear, there’s a three-link live axle with coil springs, Panhard rod, outboard shocks and stabilizer bar.
