The latest high performance variant of the Ford Mustang bearing the
Shelby name has been unveiled at the 2011 LA Motor Show, and it's a
beast. Packing a 5.8-liter supercharged V8 producing a headline-grabbing
650 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque, Ford claims the new 2013 Ford
Shelby GT500 is the most powerful production V8 in the world. While the
Mustang has never been the most aerodynamic vehicle on the road, the
vehicle's completely reworked drivetrain provides the power to propel it
to a top speed of over 200 mph (322 km/h). And as surprising as the
grunt under the hood, Ford says the new Shelby GT500 even manages to
avoid the United States' Gas Guzzler Tax.
