While a 650-hp V-8 has a lot to do with the Shelby GT500's newfound 200-mph top speed, aerodynamics play a huge role as well. The 2013 GT500's front fascia was designed to not only maximize cooling to the 5.8-liter mill, but also to maximize downforce while minimizing drag. To accomplish this, SVT's engineers modified the GT500's front end with a new front splitter and downforce-generating front grilles. Ford says that in designing the GT500's aero to deal with the stress of 200 mph, it also improved the car's feel all around so it remains more planted at all speeds. To put a number on the aero changes, Ford says the 2013 GT500 is 33 percent more planted at 160 mph compared to the outgoing model.
