The Ford Shelby GT500 starts with the solid Mustang  underpinnings. The  all-new Mustang was designed from the beginning with  performance  derivatives in mind, providing an exceptionally rigid,  well-engineered  starting point for GT500 chassis engineers.With its  5.4L V8 engine, the car is capable of outputting an estimated 500 hp and  480 lb.-ft. of torque.To match this power and handling ability,  engineers fitted some of the  biggest brakes in the business to the Ford  Shelby GT500. Four-piston  Brembo 
calipers  are fitted to 14-inch Brembo vented rotors up front,  and 11.8-inch  vented discs in the rear continue SVT's legacy of  great-braking  Mustangs.GT500 features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension  with  Reverse L lower control arms, and a solid-axle, three-link rear   suspension with coil springs and a Panhard rod for precise control.

 The  Shelby GT500 Mustang rides on 18 x 9.5-inch machined aluminum  wheels  with SVT center caps. It features P255/45Z18 front tires and   P285/40ZR18 rear tires. Braking is achieved with the help of Brembo   14-inch vented discs fitted with four-piston aluminum calipers in the   front and 11.8-inch diameter vented discs fitted with two-piston   calipers in the back.he engine is force-fed an air-and-fuel mixture via a  "Roots-type"  supercharger providing 8.5 pounds per square inch of  boost. The GT500  uses a cast-iron engine block. It borrows from the  Ford GT program  aluminum, four-valve cylinder heads, piston rings and  bearings, adding  a high level of performance durability to the  drivetrain. "Powered by  SVT" camshaft covers add the finishing touch to  the engine.
