These numbers are crazy. Makes the LSA GTS and GT look like toys. It has more power than an Aventador.
Will be interesting to see what times it can put down and how it'll compare to the locals. And whether the engine(via 300C) / car will ever end up in Oz. http://media.chrysler.com/newsreleas...id=15779&mid=1 http://www.autonews.com/article/2014...ated-at-707-hp Stunning car

Power to weight. So much weight needs so much power.
On the flip side, anyone believing Ford weren't interested yet in topping the engine from the Trinity program are in for a shock. |

its will be around 60-70k I reckon in the states, any higher and it wont sell... as GT500 around 55-60k drive away.
Its a beast for sure... I don't think we will see this beast, but the next gen which will hopefully be designed RHD. 520kw / 881Nm Supercharged V8 muscle car from Factory... yes please! the "detuned black key" has 500hp... lol! I would say mid to low 3s to 60mph. considering the GT500 will bang out mid 3s in a manual. where this can be fitted with either 6 speed manual or 8speed auto. but if they bring this here.. very good chance I will get one, IF the pricing is right.

I understand Ford had concerns with reliability - but gee !!! If Jaguar can deliver 404kw with their 5.0 Lt Supercharged Eight with some 600+ torque , why couldnt Ford deliver / provide the same numbers .. It shouldn't be that hard to deliver porn numbers for the GT ... So I still unsure why they chose not to deliver those big numbers .. Had they , add emotion/passion for the brand , and those magic porn numbers and Ford could have written their ticket to success..

I've heard of them possibly putting it into the upcoming Wagoneer.

Wow.
Love it. Even wish I was American for a fleeting moment considering the cars they have available, and so cheap comparatively. |

An absolute beast, this engine in the Full SRT Spec 300 Sedan with a ZF 8 Speed would have been something else.

Yikes... 527 kW is a lot of power for a Mitsubishi 4WD.

The guy even said torque is under-rated by as much as 40Nm so that means it's pumping out at least 896Nm at the engine.
