POV 2016 Shelby GT350R Mustang Laps at Grattan Raceway – Video
POV 2016 Shelby GT350R Mustang Laps at Grattan Raceway, so this is what this beast sounds like inside the cabin, one more amazing vehicle produced by Ford.
The new 5.2-liter dual-overhead-cam V8 engine is the first-ever production V8 from Ford with a flat-plane crankshaft – an architecture typically found only in racing applications or exotic European sports cars.
Unlike traditional V8s, where the connecting rods are attached to the crankshaft at 90-degree intervals, this design evenly spaces all crank pins at 180-degree intervals to optimize high-speed engine breathing. It is the most powerful naturally aspirated production Ford engine ever, with more than 500 horsepower and more than 400 lb.-ft. of torque.
