It takes a truly magnificent effort for any automaker to stand out at the North American International Auto Show, but iconic American automaker Ford has managed to do just that with the introduction of the Mustang GT Shelby 500, a vehicle that is quite simply the fastest street-legal muscle car ever.
The latest and greatest iteration of the venerable Shelby brand comes equipped with a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine that pumps out a scarcely believable 700 horsepower, not to mention a hyper-fast dual-clutch transmission, which can shift gears in less than 100 milliseconds, making for an exceptional combination of speed and control.
Set to be launched to market in the third quarter of 2019, the Mustang GT Shelby 500 is a domineering street-legal muscle car that will leave every other vehicle out on the roads trailing in its wake.
