About the Mustang Shelby GT500 MK VI facelift

The 2019 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 MK VI facelift is a rear-drive turbocharged muscle car of 1,882 kg with 760 bhp, which works out at 404 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 404 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.99 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 644th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 2nd quickest of the 109 Fords here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 129.6 mph, the 225th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 7 of 8 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 MK VI facelift is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 8 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
