Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 (2013)


CAR GARAGE | Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 (2013) |  The 2013 Shelby GT500 offers two new sets of forged-aluminum wheels, Including a unique wheel for cars with the optional packages. The 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels are coupled with Goodyear Eagle  F1 Supercar G: 2 tires on all configurations. The official launch of SVT came during the 1992 Chicago Auto Show with the unveiling of the 1993 SVT Mustang Cobra and SVT F-150 Lightning. The result is a car That tracks more securely and feels more Planted to the road at higher speeds.


A new front splitter and black-painted upper and lower grille inserts That expose the radiator drive the functional style changes to the Shelby GT500. The exposed radiator helps funnel the water and cools the internals of the vehicle systems. The larger the splitter helps create downforce when the car hits top speeds. Engineers faced competing goals of top speed, racetrack performance, cooling and fuel economy, and worked to find a balance That meets all needs. In the rear, a high Gurney flap helps Reduced lift. By reducing drag and creating downforce, the loads and moments on the front fascia Increased.


The inlet water volume has also been Increased 33 percent. Boost has been Increased from 9 to 14 psi. Other modifications for improved power include an upgraded camshaft profile, similar to the Ford GT. The cam lift for the intake and exhaust has been Increased for improved airflow. Once the engine was Able to Make the power and pressures were Increased, SVT made changes to Ensure the engine was durable under Those conditions. This improved design supports the load on the dome of the piston more efficiently. Cooling fan has been Increased capacity and a higher-efficiency intercooler added to keep the air entering the engine as cool as possible. An efficient, high-flow pump capacity has been added. These measures manage temperatures under extreme conditions.


To Ensure the coolant flow is well balanced cylinder to cylinder, the block and heads have been cross-drilled for water to flow through. A single-piece carbon fiber driveshaft has been upgraded from the current two-piece steel design, the which is lighter and stiffer and offers a higher torque capacity and improved NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) qualities. The clutch has Increased torque and rpm capacity and uses a dual-disc design.  The final drive ratio has been changed to 3.31:1 for overall vehicle gearing optimized to complement the high-powered torque produced. Every fourth gear has besides been optimized for competing performance metrics.


The engine also carries over the use of the state-of-the-art Plasma Transferred Wire Arc liner coating, a process APPLIES That a 150-micron composite coating contains nanoparticles That on the internal surfaces of engine cylinder Bores, Replacing cast-iron liners Typically used in aluminum engine blocks. The new engine also Continues to be exempt from the gas-guzzler tax, delivering aspects a projected 15 mpg city, 24 mpg highway.
