#2024 ford mustang shelby gt500 engine

[mcacnshow]

Six Decades of Shelby performance—from the first Shelby AC Cobra to today’s Mustang Shelby GT500!

A bad heart forced Carroll Shelby, one of the top racing drivers of all time, to retire in 1960. But that didn’t stop the lanky Texan from continuing to make history. He launched Shelby American in 1962 with the creation of the brilliant Ford-powered AC Cobra, soon to dominate both U.S. and international sports car racing. Shelby’s winning ways soon led to Ford seeking Shelby’s team of “hot rodders” help to make the Ford GT program a success. It worked. Shelby and Ford soon stunned the motorsports world by winning Le Mans and dominating other venues from 1966 to 1969 with the GT40. Fifty-three years later the legendary first Le Mans win of 1966 would form the basis for the acclaimed filmFord Versus Ferrari. As if the Cobra, Daytona Coupe, and GT40 were not enough, this small team of hot rodders, fabricators, and race mechanics also created the Shelby Mustang GT350 in 1965, and the GT500 two years later. Shelby American was nothing short of lightning in a bottle from 1962-1970.

Shelby American 60 Years of High Performance covers all of these early triumphs, following the proceedings from a small shop in Venice, California, to sprawling digs at LAX all the while developing new road cars, running a top race team, and giving privateer racers the cars they needed to win. Get to know Shelby, as well as the innovators who surrounded him, including designer Peter Brock, genius engineer Phil Remington, “Mr. GT350” Chuck Cantwell, and a roster of top drivers that included Ken Miles, Bob Bondurant, Dan Gurney, Bruce McLaren, Denny Hulme, A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, and more.

Authors Colin Comer and Rick Kopec, leading Shelby historians, follow the Shelby story through Carroll’s post-Ford relationship with Dodge, including his roles in the giant-killing, pocket-rocket Shelby Charger, GLH (“Goes Like Hell”), and GLH-S cars along with a slew of other Shelby-ized machines including his role in the birth and development of the menacing Dodge Viper.

The 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse Unveiled with V8 Power

Ford created quite a stir on Wednesday night in Detroit, taking over the majority of the downtown area for a celebration of everything Mustang and the fans who love it. The Dark Horse, which has been in development for more than three years behind closed doors, takes the essential components of the Mustang—a rear-wheel-drive coupe with a V8 engine and a manual transmission—and fine-tunes them for both street and track performance.

Initially, it was anticipated that the launch would include a coupe, convertible, and GT variant. However, Ford surprised everyone by launching the Mustang Dark Horse, the first completely new Mustang performance series since the Mustang Bullitt made its debut in 2001. The Mustang's base engine is a revised 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, and the updated 5.0-liter Coyote V8 continues to power the GT. The most recent model of the legendary pony car is the new, seventh-generation 2024 Mustang.

The 2024 Ford Mustang: First Look

Despite the fact that a lot of Baby Boomers are still passionate about Mustangs, their numbers are constantly declining. Ford has already used some of the brand's magic with the Mustang Mach-E electric crossover, but the company still needs to attract new customers with its newest products. 

Every sheet of metal on the 2024 Mustang is brand-new, despite maintaining the same basic dimensions and shape. In the new design, the undercuts are gone, at least on the sides, giving it a more chiseled appearance. The Mustang was intended to have a distinctively American muscle car look, and this goal was largely accomplished.

Continuing the evolution from the 2015 model through 2019, the front fascia is more assertive and makes use of a grille that has a blunter appearance. With the exception of the Fox-body Mustangs from the 1980s and 1990s, it still has the traditional shark nose that has been a feature of the majority of Mustangs. Although triple LED projector headlights are standard, the tri-bar signature lights have been repositioned horizontally, one above each main projector.

The previous generation's three-dimensional lamps have been replaced with a more aggressive version of the flush lamps used on the Mach-E. A significant horizontal valley extends the width of the tail across the back face.

The 2024 Mustang's design is largely unchanged from its 1960s-era inspiration. The convertible top of the Mustang continues to fold almost flush with the bodywork for a neat appearance when it is down.

V8 Powered 2024 Ford Mustang: 

Upgraded versions of the powertrains currently available in non-Shelby Mustangs will be a choice when the 2024 Mustang goes on sale. That is the fourth-generation 5.0-liter Coyote V8 and the 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine will be there. Ford is delaying the release of specifications so that they can release a steady stream of information leading up to the car's launch in about nine months. A Shelby GT500 replacement has not yet been announced.

Both engines are anticipated to be more efficient and to produce more power and torque than they did previously. Right now, the four-cylinder engine has 350 pound-feet of torque and 310 horsepower. (An additional 20 horsepower is provided by the high-performance package.) The engine will be updated next year with a combined dual port and direct injection system strategy. The majority of other EcoBoost engines already employ this, which helps to reduce cold emissions and increase drivability. The new 2.3 will likely have a power range of 330 to 350 hp, similar to the now-discontinued Focus RS.

The V8 has undergone more significant changes. It uses a completely new intake system in 2024 that has two throttle bodies. Each throttle body has a separate intake snorkel that receives air from an air-filter box that is located directly behind the grille. Ford won't disclose the amount of power it will generate, other than to emphasize that it will be the most potent Mustang GT to date. The Mach-1 has 470 horsepower, while the 2022 GT produces 450 horsepower. The GT is probably going to match, if not outperform, Mach 1 with the new intake system.

An upgraded version of the existing 10-speed automatic transmission is paired with both engines. The V8 still has a six-speed manual transmission option in addition to the automatic and three-pedal setup.

2024 Ford Mustang Chassis Improvements:

There have been very few changes, other than the fundamental front strut and integral link independent rear suspension design. The steering system underwent some of the most significant changes, receiving a new rack with a faster ratio, a stiffer shaft, and less compliance all around for a better feel.

You will see some changes to some of the attachment points and chassis setups, but the overall architecture hasn't changed. V8 Mustangs will get new knuckles, an aluminum control arm inside the car, and a new lower control arm. Although Ford hasn't yet disclosed the final horsepower figures for either engine, we anticipate the GT to generate close to 470 horsepower. 

An electronic drift brake will also be available on V8 Mustangs in 2024. Like the majority of contemporary automobiles, the Mustang is replacing its cable-operated parking brake with an electronic system that applies the rear brakes using the hydraulic actuator of the stability control.

If you choose the drift brake, you will receive a handle that resembles a conventional parking brake but is actually an electronic switch. The parking brake programming is changed to drift mode by the track mode app, which causes the brakes to engage much more quickly when the lever is pulled. When compared to using the traditional mechanical hand brake, it will apply four to five times as much pressure. 

Digital Beats for Kids in the Ford 2024 Mustang:

The new pony's cockpit undergoes even more substantial changes in favor of a much more contemporary aesthetic. Ford is obviously focusing on the interior experience in an effort to appeal to a younger demographic of sports car buyers. In its place, a massive digital environment replaces the conventional dual cowl dashboard. Base models feature a separated dual panel setup with a landscape 10-inch touchscreen in the middle and a digital instrument cluster display in front of the driver.

A continuous arrangement with a panel extending from the driver's side pillar across the center of the dashboard is available on Ecoboost Premium and GT models. Like many other recent models, it appears to have a single panel when turned off, but there are actually two displays—one for the instruments and a 13.2-inch touchscreen for entertainment—hidden beneath the glass.

Ford's interface designers used the Unreal 5 gaming engine software to create the graphics and animations within the system, just like other automakers like Rivian and General Motors. Any time you switch between drive modes, cluster graphic themes, or anything else, there are plenty of moving pixels.

Inside a 2024 Ford Mustang:

The Mustang's interior has been significantly improved for 2024, and it now features a twin-tablet array of screens that, in some ways, resembles more recent BMW models. The Mustang and the two-door BMW 4 Series models are comparable in size and function, but they are significantly more expensive. 

The new Mustang will continue to use the current Sync 4 infotainment system rather than switching to the new Android Automotive-based system, even though it won't be available until mid-2023. For the Mustang, Sync 4 has been given a new skin to match the rest of the visual design. Track apps and line-lock, which make on-demand burnouts simple, are also retained.

2024 Ford Mustang Interior Design:

Designers have also made a variety of improvements to materials and finishes for the physical rather than digital components of the Mustang. Interior surfaces that previously had smoother grains rather than the simulated animal grains are now being laser etched on some surfaces, while others are being covered in patterns like white noise. The speaker bezels are seamlessly incorporated into the panels around them; occasionally, the colors of the interior ambient lighting can be seen through the grilles.

Ford kept the convertible's power top system from the previous generation because the basic structure hasn't changed. Like the outgoing model, the retractable hood creates a clean profile for the convertible by sitting flush with the surrounding bodywork.

A hybrid powertrain won't be available for the new Mustang. However, the updated interior's tech-forward design and enhanced performance have what it takes to draw a new generation of owners to the family business that was founded almost 60 years ago. When the brand-new 2024 Mustang starts showing up in dealerships in one year, we'll have a clearer picture. 

The Cost of a 2024 Ford Mustang:

The price of the seventh-generation Mustang has not yet been announced. The current model's entry-level EcoBoost with a six-speed manual transmission costs $28,865. The V8-powered GT, which also comes with a six-speed stick, has a starting price of $39,440. The 2024 Mustang will undoubtedly cost more, but given the steadily declining Mustang sales in recent years, we'd be shocked if Ford introduced the new model with a significantly higher MSRP.
