In this video, we delve into Ford’s groundbreaking achievement with the Shelby GT500 CODE RED, an ultra-high-performance variant of the iconic Mustang that redefines speed and engineering excellence. Developed by Shelby American, the CODE RED is a limited-edition masterpiece, with only 30 units produced, each meticulously crafted to deliver unparalleled performance.
Unmatched Performance: Equipped with a 5.2-liter supercharged V8 engine, the CODE RED undergoes a remarkable transformation. The standard supercharger is replaced with a pair of twin-turbochargers, elevating the engine’s output to an astounding 1,300 horsepower and 1,000 lb-ft of torque when fueled with E85 ethanol. This immense power propels the CODE RED from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.3 seconds, achieving a quarter-mile time of 8.59 seconds at 161.81 mph.
Advanced Engineering: To handle the increased power, the CODE RED features significant enhancements, including reinforced internals with Manley pistons and rods, ARP studs, and heavy-duty timing chains. The suspension system is upgraded with a height-adjustable setup and recalibrated magnetic shocks, ensuring optimal weight transfer and launch capabilities. A widebody package accommodates 345-wide rear tires, providing exceptional traction, while carbon fiber components such as the hood, front splitter, and rear diffuser enhance aerodynamics and reduce weight.
Exclusive Features: The CODE RED is not just about performance; it’s a collector’s dream. Priced at $224,995, excluding the donor car, each unit is uniquely numbered, adding to its exclusivity. The interior boasts bespoke touches, including a custom dash plaque and high-performance features tailored for the discerning enthusiast.
Legacy and Impact: The Shelby GT500 CODE RED represents the pinnacle of Ford’s commitment to performance, joining an elite group of vehicles capable of sub-nine-second quarter-mile times. It stands as a testament to Ford’s engineering prowess and dedication to pushing the boundaries of automotive performance.
