From the manufacturer and tuner Shelby American actually comes one overworked Variant of the current one Shelby GT 500 to the SEMA Auto Show (from today to Friday, 8. Nov. 2019). One has the over-Mustang again buttoned and presented with the Shelby American GT500 Dragon Snake an even stronger variant in the event that the 770 PS and 847 NM torque of the "normal GT500" may not be sufficient. In addition, the 2,65-liter Roots compressor, which is built into the V of the 5,2-liter V8, has been revised again and its output increases to over 800 PS. And the same applies to the torque. Although no specific information is available at the moment, the 900 NM mark is likely to wobble. The specified 3,3 seconds to 96 km / h will surely become 3,1 and the quarter mile will now be completed in 10,7 seconds instead of 10,5 seconds.
with "Dragon Snake" foiling
However, these are estimates from us and no specific information from Shelby, And also a part of the once again increased performance has the once again improved sports exhaust system with high-performance catalysts of the GT500 Dragon Snake. And that officially still concept car The vehicle on display also has a few visual changes compared to the GT500. The spoiler on the front apron is a bit more subtle on the sides, but the hood has two additional air openings on both sides to the mighty power dome. The side section is, apart from the "Dragon Snake" foil, almost unchanged, but the rear is clearly different. The well-known rear apron of the GT500 can also be seen on this, but the huge adjustable racing rear wing is new. Compared to the GT500, it should provide even more contact pressure with less air resistance.
chrome one-piece forged wheels on the GT500
In addition, the show vehicle of the Sema 2019 is not based on the carbon variants of the GT6 500 spoke rims but on ultralight forged one-piece aluminum wheels. For this purpose, the adjustable MagneRide suspension has been revised once again with modified springs and stabilizers and even the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic had to accept a few changes. Compared to the normal GT500 there is another badge in the cabin with consecutive number and the same carries the phenomenal engine under the hood. All other changes are similar to those of the GT500. If we receive timely information on further details, there is of course an update for this report.
