2020 Ford Mustang Shelby Cobra GT500
700HP (at least), 7 speed DCT, 0-60 in the 3's and 1/4 mile under 11 seconds.
https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media...z2945tt5gn.jpg https://jalopnik.com/the-2020-ford-m...s-a-1831729434 The GT500's 5.2-liter supercharged V8 is paired with an all-new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission from Tremec and has no manual option, at least not at launch. The chassis is fitted with a carbon fiber driveshaft, MagneRide dampers and high performance Michelin tires Ford claims were specifically engineered for the car, with Pilot Sport 4S tires optional. There’s also huge Brembo 16.5-inch rotors with six-piston calipers, so the thing can stop hard, too. |
Heard MSRP would be close to $70k

They've smartly made the expensive stuff (carbon) options to keep the MSRP lower.
I'm really glad it's no the voodoo motor SC'd and happy it's not a manual. Won't eat into GT350R values. :) Looks like a hellcat that can corner. Really excited to see Ford staying after this. |
Sure looks awesome. Ford has been on a roll!

I think the DCT is a smart choice, in this case, as it allows for consistent drag racing times while being quick enough for track work as well. This car should be a beast! I think the ZL1 1LE will be quicker around a track, due to the lower weight and newer chassis, plus the crazy aero, but this thing should dominate in a straight line.
16-1/2" rotors?? :yikes: |
I don't want to be anywhere near a Cars and Coffee when one of these things decides to pull out and go pedestrian hunting.
|
:rofl:
Hopefully Bumblebee will be around to protect mankind... |

I’m surprised that the fact it’s probably the first mustang ever with a dct is not more headline news worthy than the 700hp. How many American cars have dct? I’m drawing a blank at the moment. |
Ford has the (troublesome) PowerShift DCT in the Focus and Fiesta (up to 2016). I don't think any others had/have one.
