What engine platform will Ford utilize to achieve 760+ hp?
All I know is what was relayed. DCT, 760+, around 3800 lbs. 305 up front, 315 rears, CF in some key locations. Motor specifics were never mentioned.
In the leaked oil document from Roush? It read: 5.2 Supercharged GT500
This was on a 2020 MY document. Could have been made up. All just speculation, but hopefully we know in less than 2 months.

I just saw a rumor that the '19 Raptor will/may get a 7L V8. It could possibly be shared with a new GT500. That's no doubt vaporware, but a NA 427cid GT500 would certainly be interesting.
That rumor has been around since before the Gen2 hit showroom floors. It was a huge article on Horse Power Kings...
That sounds like the comination for a 100k mustang. The gt350r is over 3700lbs so with coolers, blower and beefier parts probably closer to 4,000lbs. 760hp sounds awesome but with the ford gt only being 647 do you really think the top mustang is gonna come out that crazy? 680ish sounds more realistic.
The GT isn't Ford's power pinnacle though. The '13 GT500 already has the FGT beat in that arena. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that the GT500 curb stomps the FGT in power numbers.
Something was mentioned about having to flip the supercharged upside down, this was a while ago.
Yanko Boy, my base GT350R is closer to 3650 lbs than 3700 lbs. Add 150 for supercharger, also there is talk of additional weight savings with CF and aluminum, but thats just it, talk. When weight came up at 3800 lbs, the fella just said, that sounds about right. THis may or may not be the first one that hits next, this may be the one for 2021. I too was thinking 4000 lb range, but was floored when he said 3800 lbs sounds right. I would think that is for the gutted out version. Who knows at this point, all just speculation.

Interesting, well I hope your specs are correct because it will be a mean machine.
Thanks for the pic! She's a tight fit!
Looks good!I was thinking the same thing Willie. Is there a car that currently has that combo of supercharger and direct injection? Sounds like a lot going on with sensors and computers, but as long as she runs smooth and makes more power, I don't give a rip
I suppose it would help with mileage emissions

I was thinking of the new 3L Whipple going on Lethal's '18 5.0.
Why was it an upside down design again?I read it somewhere, but I forget.
no room. read about it here:

Yep, that's where I seen that. I couldn't remember where it was, and it's an 18 with direct injection.
Yeah, lots of talk about the 2650 but who knows it may be something else.
2020 Ford document that shows 5.2 SC GT500 lists a 7.3L gas engine. The previous 6.2 SOHC V8 architecture could easily support 7.3L so I REALLY hope they took the 6.2 where it was destined to go.
That engine has more potential than anything I've seen if they would want to with DOHC and 7+L.
I had an Engine Masters application submitted and accepted for a 427 SOHC build off the 6.2 back in 2013 before our engine builder flaked out. Would've been fun.

TVS is OEM quality and can support the power. I doubt we would ever see Whipple from OEM. Can't think of any other supercharger that could match OEM specs.
I'm on board with 5.2 TVS2650 with DCT and 350R like packaging!
