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).
