Timothy Adry Emmanuel gives us his take on the rumored S650 Shelby GT500 and it’s ready to take on Dodge’s final “Last Call” muscle car.
The upcoming S650 2025 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is one of the most highly anticipated enthusiast cars of recent times. Ford brought down the curtain on the previous generation GT500 last year and muscle car fans are already missing this legendary sports car.
Ford debuted the new S650 generation last year as the 2024 Ford Mustang in Ecoboost, GT, and Dark Horse variants, but the GT500 will remain shrouded in mystery for at least another year before its rumored release in 2025.
While we wait for the official word from Ford, HotCars digital artist Timothy Adry Emmanuel took matters into his own hands with a new S650 Shelby GT500 concept that is ready to take down Dodge’s final “Last Call” edition muscle car.
Designing A New Ford Mustang Shelby GT500
Timothy has given this dream car the title “GT500 Super Snake”, which pays homage to the classic Cobra model of the Shelby Mustang that hit the roads in 1968, and the infamous “Super Snake” CSX 3015 Roadster of the same year.
At the front end of Timothy’s designs, the most noticeable aspect is the bulging hood that will house its monstrous engine. Extra LED lights have been tastefully installed and the bumper is lower to the ground thanks to a front splitter. Timothy has designed flared arches too, that give this pony a wider and more aggressive feel.
Profiling The S650 Shelby Mustang GT500
From a profile view, this car is very different from the previous GT500 and the stock S650 Mustang. There are those wide arches that give it a powerful appearance, but it’s hard to miss the rear arch slope that is reminiscent of the 1968 Cobra.
There are all-new features too, like the massive side vents and twin exhaust exits tucked into the thick side skirting. With the standard S650 Mustang as a baseline, Timonthy creates a much more aggressive look that is much in line with what Ford could do with their Shelby GT500.
Back To The Future Of The GT500
The view from the car’s rear doesn’t disappoint. The back fender design is extremely aggressive but still lets you know this is a Mustang. A more in-your-face element is how the wide-body rear arch flows all the way to the back of the car and contains a built-in spoiler of sorts.
Powering The S650 GT500
There’s no information available on what type of engine the new Shelby GT500 will have, but the previous GT500 came with a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 Predator engine that produced 760 hp and 625 lb-ft of torque. That’ll be hard to beat, but as Hennessey has shown with their Venom 1200 model, the Mustang has huge power potential.
With Dodge’s recent announcement of the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 with 1,025 hp, Ford would need to step their game up in horsepower over the previous generation. Timothy hints at the power on the license plate with it reading 980 hp.
Combine that power number with the Mustang’s lighter curb weight and it should have no problem taking on the final Dodge muscle car. With that in mind, let’s just hope an official S650 Shelby GT500 comes to fruition and can match or exceed the designs of Timothy Adry Emmanuel.
