Ford released 2010 Shelby GT500

Ford has unveiled their latest 2010 Shelby GT500. The latest in the Shelby line, the 2010 GT500, is primed to carry on the tradition, taking the title of Ford's most powerful SVT-tuned Mustang ever.

Like the other Mustangs, the GT500 is mechanically an evolution of the older model. Just as Ford used the current-gen Bullitt model as the starting point for the 2010 Mustang GT. The performance of the car is estimate around 540 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. This thanks to the supercharged 5.4L V8 engine.

Exterior appearance changes for 2010 are similar to those found on the standard 2010 Mustang. The redesigned slimmer look, improved interior and modernized trim all carry over where they are not replaced by unique elements. Special attention was paid to the front end of the car, which gets a redesigned splitter among other upgrad

For the suspension system, the car gets a new SVT tuning with revised spring and damper rates for better roll control, thanks in part to work done in the GT500KR program. A set of 19 inch forged aluminum wheels wrapped with Goodyear F1 Supercar is fitted to the car and this help to enhance the handling of the car.
