You guys ever thought it could be NA?
and now I have completed the gauntlet
turbo

both
NA
For real though, what if it was a direct injected 7 liter dohc beast throwing down bout 600 huas powaz, gets 25 to the gallon, and idles smooth at 600 rpm, breaks autometer tachs on the way to 9000 rpms
Hmmm time for bed

That's what I noticed too. I don't hear anything, but without a doubt it's sporting something different.

That's definitely not the black heat exchanger used in the last generation GT500.

It could be a TVS powered Coyote, (which isn't that loud).

That's with a camera pointed at the blower with the hood off. It's audible but on the street from a distance you wouldn't be able to hear much IMO.

That's my guess for 2013; TVS, Coyote and DI. 600hp or a bit more.

I think it's still a 5.4 nested in the engine bay. It doesn't have that sound a 5.0 makes :shrug:

LOL, i guess a lot of you guys have never heard a turbo car, huh? crank the volume at :35, it's supercharged.

+1 You can definitely hear the SC @ 36sec

I second the Blower noise around :35 mark ,keep in mind they configured the blower to be very quite ,even the current 11-12 GT500 have perrty quite blowers.I hear its a all aluminum 5.8 with a TVS blower which sound realistic ,but just my 2c

No reason to even touch the block.

All they'd have to do is slap on the TVS, tweak the tune and call it a day. 600hp easy.

??? How can this be identified as a 2013, 14 or whatever? It looks like a 2010 to me............:shrug: Its not like Ford calls people up and says "we will be testing out the 2025 GT500 today, incase you want to take spy footage..."

It's a powertrain mule. What it looks like is insignificant.

2012 GT500s are already for sale, that leaves Ford testing this powertrain for 2013 or 2014.

 

[RcodeStang]

I thought the 2014s were supposed to be IRS?

 

[02 Min Grey GT]

Another rumor is that it will have a 5.8 liter version of the current engine. I don't know if it is supposed to be Roots, TVS, or what, but I did hear it would grow.

I hear the '14's are going to come with a warm, wet, disease free vagina to pound as you drive; true story.

 

[99BOSS]

Yeah I'll bet this is still a 5.4 car prolly with a TVS on it maybe with a larger heat exchanger. They'll close out this bodystyle with simple, readily available stuff and save the new powertrain for the new bodystyle. It would be easy to get 600-625 hp out of this set up.

 

[b_dike]

I didn't hear any supercharger whine at all. Not saying it's not sc'd just sayn I listen to it over and over didn't hear anything.

 

[b_dike]

I couldn't tell one way or another. Maybe it's NA. Though I hope they keep the supercharger. I know turbo's are more efficient, and faster, and yada yada... It's just that the supercharger whine is just so DAMN sexy!!!

BTW turbo guys...

I drive a custom turbo car every day.

I hear supercharger whine at :35 If you don't, get your hearing checked.

I could hear no turbos with the camera 1 foot away from the the very free-flowing exhaust at the end. Twin turbo car(yes, even completely stock) you should be able to hear a hint of turbo spool as it went up that ramp which I didn't.

I'd vote NA or supercharged. Although I lean towards S/C.

Well that is good news. I'm not a fan of turbos.

I wish

Obviously you've never heard a nuclear powered vehicle because if you listen to the exhaust, it sounds like it's nuclear.

Funny, I thought it was antimatter powered...but only for 16 minutes at a time.

this.

I highly doubt any iteration of the S197 GT500's will be coming TT. Though I wouldnt discount the engineers making it a possibility with the new chassis in the 2014MY redesign.

Though Hyundai said the Genesis Coupe could not fit their V8 from the Sedan due to dimensional constraints but my buddy posted a link that says its closer to happening than not.

Kind of agree, it's really hard to tell with those videos just by listening to the exhaust note though.

My biggest reasoning for speculating a TVS powered Coyote is because Ford's already developed it and it's been tested and proven for over a year in the FPV Boss 335.

Also, the 5.4L motor is dated and has been retired and replaced in every Ford car here and overseas except the GT500; biggest reason being, in-terms of efficiency it doesn't hold a candle to the Coyote platform.

Small bump in power, better fuel economy, lighter and improved balance, (Coyote motor weighs less) sounds reasonable to me. :beer:
