The Most Revolutionary Thing About The 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 May Be The Carbon Fiber Wheels
The new 760 horsepower 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is an impressively long-named machine. But as production cars hit levels of power previously considered unreachable, we are coming to a point of diminishing returns. Our ability to create titanic power is outstripping our ability to put said power to the ground without massive amounts of electronic intervention. Intervention, which by its very nature, reduces power in order to maintain traction.
So if increasing power comes with caveats like that, where can we look to next in our never-ending quest to go faster? Well, to paraphrase the great Colin Chapman, you start by adding lightness. And on the GT500, we can look to the carbon fiber wheels as a great example of that.
