2020 Ford Shelby GT500 spy video reveals automatic transmission
It's likely the new 10-speed automatic found in the F-150 Raptor
The Ford Shelby GT500 is coming soon, and its 700 horsepower V8 should give the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and Chevy Camaro ZL1 a run for their money. Details beyond a vague horsepower rating remain scarce, but we do have a few batches of spy photos to pull from. Thanks to our trusty spy photographers, we now have a short video of a prototype with a mean idle and shifts from a automatic transmission.
Although interior spy shots show a six-speed shifter, the upshifts in the video are far too quick to be done manually. It's most likely the new 10-speed automatic that was co-developed with GM. It's optional in the Camaro ZL1 and 2018 Ford Mustang (including our new long-term GT) and standard on most variants of the Ford F-150, including the Raptor. In its sportiest setting, the transmission locks out the top four gears and behaves like a six-speed automatic. The Camaro ZL1 already makes 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, so the GT500's 700-plus horsepower output isn't that far of a stretch.
