As far as the torque is concerned, the 5.4-liter V8 engine now does 945 Nm and the extra energy produced is taken care of with more coolers and better air flow set-up. 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang also gets new racing chassis.

Presented during SEMA 2008, this is probably the ugliest Mustang you’ll ever get to see, unless they come up with a worse version, next year.
