UPDATE: 2018 Shelby GT500 is coming, could crack 740+ HP w/ Direct-Injection Twin-Turbo EcoBoost 5.0 (Video)

The new GT350 and GT350R are currently roaming the streets, but big brother is still coming – and a debut is just around the corner.

Ford Performance is hard at work on the new GT500, according to fresh reports from Detroit. The powerplant could produce “well over the 700HP mark”, all while “breathing through a straw”. Take it for what it’s worth, but we perceive that as a hint towards Forced Induction (low boost from the factory?). We are also hearing that Ford is working ‘very hard’ on Direct-Injection for this new powerplant. Could we see Ford’s first production 5.0 EcoBoost make it’s debut in the 2018 GT500? After all, that’s what the people want. And it’s no secret that Ford has been testing a 5.0 Twin Turbo development mule as recently as a few months ago:

Regardless, we expect this new beast to depart from the highly-discussed Flat Plane Crank 5.2L GT350 motor. Traditionally, the GT350 (and GT350R) has always been aimed towards track use, while the GT500 is more of an earth-rotating, straight line, freeway runner.

As far as power delivery, as you all know, the Hellcat is producing just north of 700HP, so we would be shocked if Ford doesn’t take it one step further.

“Our new SVT Halo Mustang will have more HP than the Hellcat” claims a Ford rep from a recent CNN interview. Hold on to your butts.


So long Lardcat, this Mustang will have more power and weigh less. The turbos might give a different torque curve than the supercharged engine in the last GT500, but with more power overall (turbos don't need to take power to add more power, for starters) and better fuel economy.

I love my car the old mustang. I just like to have some cams just to enjoy the music. Speed well I'm quick but it's not everything anymore. These new cars are insane and nothing but ticket magnets. A course no worries I don't live the lifestyle to enjoy one anyway.

I like driving fast, but a lot of modern cars have more power than their racing equivalents. If you don't need that much power to win at the track, it's insane to think that you need it on the road. Then again, I'm used to cars with about 100-140hp, even the Accord I learned to drive on is faster/more powerful than any car I've owned.

The technology is interesting to see, even if most people can never take advantage of a car that fast on the road. Back in my day you didn't need a car that fast unless you were part of Mid Night Club. :lol:
