Engine

The standard engine in the Revology Shelby GT500 is the supercharged Ford/ROUSH Performance 5.0L Ti-VCT “Coyote” DOHC V8, rated at 710HP. This engine makes massive power when prompted, yet is docile and easy to drive in stop-and-go traffic.

Driveline

The Revology Shelby GT500 is equipped with a carbon fiber driveshaft and heavy-duty Ford 8.8” rear with 1350 yoke, S-Trac helical torque-biasing limited slip differential, 35 spline axles, and finned aluminum differential cover. Manual transmission cars are equipped with a twin-disc clutch and 3.73 ratio Ford ring and pinion, while 10R80 automatic cars feature a 3.31 ratio.

Carbon Fiber Driveshaft

Carbon fiber is the choice for high performance driveline applications due to its high strength and light weight, but it is also more forgiving than steel or aluminum, which serves to reduce driveline harshness, improving the overall level of refinement of the vehicle and making it more enjoyable to drive.

Brakes

With a power-to-weight ratio on par with a Ferrari 488, the GT500 brakes have to be top notch. Large six-piston forged aluminum calipers clamp 13.08″ slotted and vented rotors in front while four- piston forged aluminum calipers work on 12.88″ rotors in the rear.

Exhaust System

The stainless steel dual exhaust system is built by Borla to our specification. Tuned specifically for the Ford Coyote engine, it delivers a soft burble at idle and is quiet with no drone at cruise speed. The optional Performance Exhaust system features lower restriction mufflers to provide more power and a more aggressive tone.

Functional

Twin-disc clutch and revised clutch geometry for reduced pedal support. A precisely tuned double wishbone suspension and power rack and pinion steering deliver modern handling.

Interior

The GT500 comes with Shelby sport bucket seats, Shelby wood rim steering wheel, and the Deluxe interior with brushed aluminum dash and door trim.

Exterior

100% LED exterior lighting, including head and driving lamps, reverse and parking lamps, tail lamps w/sequential turn signals, and exterior door handle courtesy lamps provide improved visibility at night as well as a distinctive appearance, day or night.

Hood Hinges

All Revology Mustangs and Shelby GTs feature aluminum hood hinges with nitrogen filled struts for stable, quiet, and reliable operation—a notable improvement over the wobbly, squeaky 1960s hinges.

Doors

Revology 1967 and 1968 Mustangs and Shelby GTs feature modern door hinges and door latch mechanisms. While it doesn’t sound very sexy, these modern components make the car much more enjoyable to use. No more squeaks and creaks as you open the doors—they open smoothly and quietly, and close with a solid “thunk”. When closed, the precisely latched doors contribute to the overall rigidity of the body.

Decklid Latch

If you’ve ever owned a 1960s automobile, you are familiar with having to slam the decklid multiple times to get it to stay shut. To address this problem, we’ve equipped all Revology Mustangs and Shelby GTs with a modern decklid latch and striker mechanism. The decklid can be opened using the key fob remote, via a release button located on the dash, or via an emergency release.

Polyurethane Bonded Windshield and Backlite Glass

All Revology Mustangs and Shelby GTs come standard with polyurethane bonded windshield and backlite (fastback models) glass. Polyurethane bonding is the way all modern automotive glass is secured not only because it seals better than rubber but also because it makes the glass part of the body structure, increasing body rigidity. Increased rigidity reduces noise, vibration, and harshness, but most importantly improves safety, as the stiffer roof is less likely to crush in a roll over and the glass won’t pop out and allow passengers to be ejected in a collision.

100% Steel Unibody

Modern cars all feature unibody, or monocoque, construction because it is stiffer and lighter than body on frame. For a unibody vehicle, the body provides the structure for the powertrain and chassis, which makes it much more important that it is designed and built properly. To ensure the structural rigidity and tight tolerances that allow the packaging of powerful new engines, we reengineered the Mustang unibody with added structural components and additional welds for increased strength. We build all Revology unibodies in-house, using locating fixtures, jigs, and templates to ensure proper dimensional control and sophisticated automated spot-welding equipment that senses the thickness and composition of metal that is being welded and applies the proper amount of current to ensure good quality welds.

Charging System

A convenient 4.3A on board trickle charger connects via a magnetic contact under the rear bumper to keep your battery charged even while the car is not driven for long periods.

Safety

Three point front seat belts, a dual circuit braking system, fuel shutoff inertia switch, collapsible steering shaft, and optional front seat head restraints help protect occupants in the event of a collision.

Entertainment System

The standard Pioneer 7″touch screen head units feature Bluetooth, reverse camera, voice recognition, Apple Car Play, and Android Auto and can be ordered with or without navigation and SiriusXM. The optional FOCAL Audio package features component speakers, an 720w 8 channel class AB amplifier, and a 10” enclosed subwoofer.

Leather and Alcantara™ Trim Packages

All Revology interiors are cut, sewn, and fitted by hand, including seats, floor mats, dash pad, door panels, quarter trim panels, and sun visors. This old-world craftsmanship takes time but allows freedom to choose materials and colors to ensure not only a flawless appearance but also everyday durability. We use only automotive grade leather and other materials from premium OEMs including Porsche, Mercedes, and Ferrari.

Wool Carpeting

Ultra-rich 100% wool German square weave carpeting w/ hand-sewn leather seams and bindings. Includes floor mats.

Fit and Finish

The Revology Shelby GT500 body is assembled with all-new steel panels. The hood, front fascia, and decklid are fiberglass, as in the original. All panels are painstakingly fit by hand to ensure exceptional fit and flushness.

Hi, I'm Tom Scarpello of Revology Cars, and this is car number 86, a 1967 Shelby GT500 in Jet Black Metallic with Silver Frost Lemans stripes. So the original GT500 was not available with silver stripe, but, man, they should have been. These really look awesome. And we've set it off with our contrast stitching option. This car is equipped with contrast stitching. And it's a silver stitch. And with the brushed aluminum interior trim, it just makes for really nice little details.

So our standard door configuration uses the window crank handle, the old roll up window crank handle. But in our application, it's a switch, and it rolls down the power window, which is a really cool feature. And in that configuration, we put the front speaker in the kick panel. However, if you want the best sound imaging, you really want to have that speaker in the door. And so on our audio file system, we offer the option to put the speaker in the door.

Now, there isn't room for the window crank handle and the door speaker, so you got to give up the window crank handle. But that frees up some real estate for our door speaker. So you've got a four inch midrange and then a three quarter inch tweeter in the door. And then we relocate the switch to the console.

This car is also equipped with our optional Alcantara headliner. So, this is a genuine Alcantara fabric, not an imitation suede. So it's a very luxurious interior. I forgot to mention this has our Porsche Nappa leather option. So, like all Revology GT500, this car is powered by our 710-horsepower supercharged five-liter Ti-VCT Coyote V8 engine.

This one is equipped with the 10R80 automatic transmission. So, on the supercharged cars, we've recently migrated to a carbon fiber drive shaft. So, the history on this. When we originally started building cars, we used the steel drive shaft and when we went to the 6R80 automatic, due to the configuration, we had to change to an aluminum drive shaft. We needed a higher critical speed. Critical speed is the point at which a drive shaft starts to bend or whip. And it is extremely important that the critical speed never be exceeded because it could result in some vibrations that could cause catastrophic failure of the drive shaft.

So, when we went to the 10R80, we noted some, maybe a little bit of a lack of refinement in just the drive line, just a little clunkiness. Wasn't really bad, but it was different. So we started exploring with, started to explore different ways that we could address it. In the production application, Ford uses a damper to damp out these vibrations. They also use a two-piece shaft, which helps a lot with the critical speed.

The aluminum shaft has a characteristic. When you apply torque to a drive shaft, it actually twists. It's interesting, but the shaft itself will actually twist slightly, and that twist absorbs the driveline shock, and that results in an impression of smoothness. Now, the aluminum twists a lot more than steel, and then carbon fiber is marginally better than aluminum, so you get this sort of a natural damper effect.

Now, on top of that effect, we use a CV joint with a damper. The carbon fiber combined with the CV joint with the damper really makes a notable difference in just the overall level of refinement in the drive line. So it's one of those little details that, yeah, you take it away, maybe you don't really notice, but it's there. But you add that up with 100 other little details, and it really does add up to something notable, just the overall refinement of the car. Anyway, you got a carbon fiber drive shaft. That's pretty cool. Just you know, just cool.
