2013 Ford Shelby GT500 was unveiled today, offering the world's most powerful production V8 engine. The 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 will be premiered at the 2011 LA Auto Show, and it will probably go on sale soon after. The new powerplant of the 2013 Shelby GT500 is a 5.8-liter V8 aluminum-block unit, with an output of 650 hp and 600 lb.-ft. of torque. Ford will announce the 2013 Shelby GT500 price at a later date.
Although it has mountains of power, Ford's 2013 Shelby GT500 is exempt from the gas-guzzler tax. To get the extra power, Ford uses an optimized supercharger, together with several other updates A larger cooling fan A fan shroud with high-speed pressure-relief doors A new charge air cooler - A higher-flow intercooler pump A 36% larger intercooler heat exchanger. 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 Dashboard View.
Nearly the entire powertrain has been upgraded for 2013, including a new
cross-drilled block and heads, updated camshaft profiles, a carbon
fiber driveshaft and upgraded clutch, transmission and axle. The cooling
system has also been upgraded, and the new six-speed manual
transmission now has a final drive ratio of 3.31-to-1 optimized to
handle the massive amounts of torque put down by the new engine.
The engine of the 2013 GT500 Shelby is mated to a six-speed manual transmission with a 3.31:1 final drive ratio. Ford's engineers chose less torque in favour of a lower fuel consumption. The new GT500 also comes with Brembo brakes, a Torsen limited-slip diff and a launch control function. The heart of the new Ford stunner is a 5.8-liter, aluminum-block V8, complete with a larger, more efficient supercharger.
Further enhancements can be had in the GT500 Performance Pack, which incorporates SVT-designed Blistein electronic adjustable dampers with 'normal' and 'sport' modes and a Torsen limited-slip differential. What's more, the Track Package adds an external engine oil cooler, rear differential cooler and transmission cooler. Like the current GT500, 19-inch wheels are standard up front (20-inch rollers are found out back).
