Rumors have been circulating since the release of the S550 sixth-generation Mustang in 2013. The S55o boasts a 5.2-liter supercharged V-8 and speculation indicates the new Shelby will have the same under the hood.

The new GT500 is expected to focus on on straight-ahead drag-strip performance, with insane acceleration, and a top speed to match.

It will be interesting to see how the new ride shapes up against the 650-hp Camaro ZL-1, as well as the competition Dodge has to offer in the 707-hp Hellcat and 840-hp Demon.
