Earlier this year, Ford told us that its impending Shelby GT500 would have a projected 700 horsepower". Seems those projections were a tad conservative, because, ladies and gents, the all-new 2020 GT500 will produce a whopping 760 horsepower and 625lb ft. of torque. Those crazy numbers make it the most powerful street-legal Ford ever. Not only that, it"s the most powerful and torque-dense supercharged production V8 engine in the world. Dearborn, Michigan take a bow. This news brings a few immediate consequences. 1) you can bet your bottom dollar it"ll be pretty rapid 2) YouTubers are set to make a fortune from ad revenue when enthusiastic GT500s leave Cars and Coffee events in 2020. As a refresher, the GT500 has a 5.2-litre supercharged V8 engine and, with these new power figures, promises 0-60mph in the mid-3sec range, and quarter mile times below 11 seconds. What"s going to stop it when it crosses the line? The largest brake rotors ever fitted to an American sports coupe, of course.
