Ford Mustang Shelby GT500: 5.2-litre supercharged V8, 750bhp, 625lb ft of torque, 1825kg, c£135,000 📷 astonparrott evomagazine
Ford made a conscious decision to only fit the GT500 with an automatic transmission , but rather than staying in-house with its sticky ten-speed torque converter, Ford Performance made the decision to source a seven-speed dual-clutch from Tremec instead, despite the ten-speed technically being able to handle its tremendous torque figure. Drive is then run through a carbonfibre propshaft to the limited-slip differential.
Yes, the GT500 is brutally quick, and when the ‘Track’ exhaust mode is selected I can’t think of another road car that’s louder, but the cohesion between its steering, brakes, throttle, transmission and differential feels expertly honed. The steering is the first big win over what you’d find in a normal Mustang, as while not full of feel, it’s incredibly direct and trustworthy.
