In the meantime, they can relish the preview that Ford released to tease the return of their 2019 Mustang Shelby GT500.
Ford's teaser revealed a computer-generated Mustang Shelby with sleek hood louvers, a gaping front air intake, and a guarantee that the new model will have over 700 horsepower. By the time Ford releases the Mustang Shelby GT500 in 2019, it will be the most powerful street-legal production model that they own.
Meanwhile, Motor1 reports that the teaser might have hinted on the Mustang Shelby GT500's engine.
The sound of the engine featured in the Mustang Shelby GT500 teaser is said to be similar to the one of GT350 5.2-liter flat-plane crank V8 engine. This could be a hint that the 2019 Mustang Shelby engine will be just as powerful, or even more to compete with the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat model.
Rumors say that the engine of the 2019 Mustang Shelby could have a 750 horsepower, but this is yet to be confirmed by Ford.
The new Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is anticipated to be launched in 2019.
