2018/19 Shelby GT500 Mustang Spotted! Twin Turbo V8 Powered? [UPDATED WITH VIDEO]

[Hill Country GT350]

When I bought my GT350, the finance guy who is a big Mustang junkie heard that the GT500 would have the TTV6 "EcoBeast"...for what its worth.

TT V6 from the Ford GT?

I sincerely hope NOT !!!

5.2 L V8 TT or SC Please !!!

I just pray it has an option for a rear spoiler not so ridiculous looking.

The front wheels look or are the same as the prototype Nurburgring GT350's:

Good eye.

If it is a "TT", which I really hope is, why the bulged (S/C) hood?

X2. I dislike the spoiler. Everything else is going in the right direction tho!

So how exactly did someone come to the assumption that this is a GT500...? Great headline for getting traffic I guess.

Different intake manifold.

because you will ruin the the wet dreams i've had since SEMA 2012 wishing that they will detune one of these...

:hail:

OMG, I love this design, if the Turbos would fit there.

I only hope that they pull a 2013 S197 move here and make the next MY Mustang with the Shelby style front end..

 

[MyFirst5.0]

This is one car I would pay $65k for. Could you imagine the tuning potential with a TT 5.0? Whoa momma

seriously, a tune and tire prob a low 10 sec car :eyebulge:

 

[Czs550]

If its a gt500 i hope its not v6tt. I think it will be a single turbo v8 or a supercharged v8. Im really hoping mach 1 though, voodo engine with a bad ass shaker hood. Maybe same suspension as the current 5.0 (keep costs down) with gt350 brakes and maybe exhaust? Or something similar for like 45k :ford:

That's what I've been hoping for too - the Shelby front just looks so much better than the current GT to me.

This looks too aggressive to be a Mach 1 based off the previous mule we saw that was claiming to be a Mach 1 earlier this year. I remember a couple people on here mentioning a 2017.5 GT500, and with the current body style still fully intact (you can even see the LED "gill" lights still in place in the headlights) that would be my guess. BmacIL seemed to decode that TT sticker pretty easily, but maybe they stuck it on there to throw everyone off and allow for a big surprise by rolling this out officially at Detroit? I have a hard time believing Ford would wait another year or two to roll out a GT500 and let the Hellcat and more importantly the ZL1 go completely unchallenged.

Or the 'TT' designation could just mean 'Tooling Trial'. I saw a 50th anniversary Mustang at Charlotte that had a TT with a number on the dash badge instead of the stock one that now appears on production vehicles.
