Ford recently launched the 2020 Shelby GT500 at this year’s Detroit Auto Show. The numbers are not out yet, but the 5.2-litre V8 supercharged engine is said to produce over 700 hp. This should be enough to propel the GT500 from a speed of 0-100 kph easily in less than 4 seconds. It is mated to a 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. There will be no manual option.
The world’s most powerful production (sort of) street-legal muscle car, the 1,200 horsepower 2013 Shelby 1000 is on display at the New York International Auto Show.
More details and pictures have been released of the 2013 Shelby GT500 Super Snake. Only 500 of these reptiles will be made.

Ladies and gentlemen, behold the most powerful series-production Mustang ever – the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500. Supposedly sporting the “world’s most powerful” production V8 engine, the all-new Shelby GT500 is what we have in store for 2013; and with enormous power, the future looks bright.
Ford has just released a video purportedly showing their upgraded 2011 Shelby GT500 doing a lap of some 4.1-mile (6.56 km) Grand West portion of the Virginia International Speedway racetrack. It achieved a lap time of 2:58.5, which in itself wouldn’t mean much, except that the Audi R8 V10 did it in 2:59.5 during another test. If there ever was proof that the Audi R8 is an overrated beluga whale, this is it.
Legendary tuner Shelby has revealed the Super Snake package for the 2010 Shelby GT500 in the United States.
