"A takedown artist." That"s how Ford describes the gobby-looking new Mustang Shelby GT500. We presume that"s Murican for giant killer". That"s backed up by Ford"s bullish claim that "the new Shelby GT500 will surprise supercar owners with its Ford Performance racing tech, supercharged engine and visceral swagger". Sounds punchy, until you look at the spec and discover the Shelby is every inch the musclebound supercar botherer. Behind the slightly Audi-esque megagrille (supposedly inspired by modern stealth fighter jets), there"s a 5.2-litre supercharged V8 engine. It develops a projected 700 horsepower" and promises 0-60mph in the mid-3sec range, and quarter mile times below 11 seconds. Stopping it after the finish line, the largest brake rotors ever fitted to an American sports coupe.
