2013 Ford Shelby GT500 - 662 hp - 202 mph - The Fastest Mustang Ever Built

Here's one of my videos from 2012 about the superfast Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang. At that time it was the most powerful production Mustang ever built being developed by Ford's SVT Division, the same crowd that came up with the GT40. |t received 17k hits on my old channel - can you guys do better than this?

SVT's goal was to top the 200 mph barrier with a production Mustang which they breached as the top speed was actually 202 mph, in Italy at the Nardo proving ground. with its 14 km track. There will be a separate video about this. Sadly Caroll Shelby never saw the fastest production car he helped develop reach its top speed in public hands as he died on May 10, 2012 aged 89. The car was released to the public shortly afterwards.

The 2013 Shelby GT500’s 5.8-liter V-8 aluminum-block engine produced 662 horsepower and 631 lbs.-ft. of torque, making it the highest-horsepower engine ever produced in North America to date. Nearly every part of the powertrain was optimized for producing the additional horsepower, including a new supercharger, new cross-drilled blocks and heads, an all-forced engine rotating assembly, updated camshaft profiles, upgraded head gaskets, a new carbon fiber driveshaft and upgraded clutch, transmission and axles.
