Spied: Ford Testing a hopped up Shelby GT500 at the Nürburgring
American muscle tearing up the famous German track

At a first glance, this looks like a normal Shelby GT 500. But when we look again we notice some small things that are not so normal. Where we usually find a fog light in the front bumpers left side there is a part of a cooler visible. On the right side it’s just taped up to look similar. And in the upper grille we see additional cooling lines, possible an extension of an intercooler system.

So could this mean Ford and is testing a turbo engine for the next generation GT 500? A twin-turbo engine? There have been rumors about this for a long time so why not? A turbo/twin-turbo engine would deliver loads of wild horses under the hood of this pony but at the same time be more fuel efficient that a supercharged engine. Until then we will keep our eyes and ears open!

 

Actually, I like it!

 

Me too!

 

these new GT500's certainly look the part.

a TT mill would be a logical choice, and upping the power would become that much easier.

 

I am ready for this car! Ford is really working hard to stay ahead of the curve right now.

Nice work Blue Oval!

 

I drove a GT500 a few weeks ago, and to say it was inspirational would be an understatement. And talk about a LOT of car for the money.

 

Yep. Dig it.

 

Does this car have rear Independent Suspension at least?

 

Looking good!

 

Another test mule they had running around this morning...









Check out the rear sticker lol!
