Well for starters, autoblog has some pictures and story regarding the next Shelby GT500. The spy shots show the car sporting an intercooler, which suggests turbo, which suggests two turbos.
Autoblog points out how the supercharger has parasitic engine loss and that multiple vanes reduce turbo lag a good deal. Which means a 25 mpg V8 engine producing 500+ could be coming.
However, rumors for the new 2014 Mustang Model (which will be the 50th anniversary thereof) say there will be a four cylinder 2.5L eco boost option as well as the beefy 5.0 option. It also says IRS. The current gen of Mustangs had also been designed for IRS, but it had been pulled at the last minute. We shall see...
And could the new Shelby not only get twin turbos, but an IRS as well?
