Despite so much talk of electric cars and autonomous driving,  you can still buy a 797-horsepower Dodge Challenger or a 650-hp Chevrolet Camaro. But the rival Ford Mustang has stayed out of the horsepower wars — until now. Unleashed at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show, and reviving one of the greatest names in muscle car history, the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 will boast over 700 hp.

We can’t provide a more specific figure yet, unfortunately. But Ford promises the latest Shelby GT500 will not only be the most powerful production Mustang ever, but the most powerful street-legal car it has ever produced. All of that power is generated by a 5.2-liter supercharged all-aluminum V8. It’s based on the engine used in the Shelby GT350 Mustang, and is mated exclusively to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Ford noted that the dual-clutch gearbox can shift much quicker than a manual, at under 100 milliseconds per gear change.
