As you can see for yourself, Ford isn’t even trying to shy away from the public nor is it dodging cameras on the road with their prototypes of the next hot Mustang, thought to carry the 2016 Shelby GT500 nameplate (unless the Blue Oval goes for something different like SVT or SVO).

“Just saw the next generation Mustang testing on local Los Angeles streets,” said Carscoops reader Kenji N., who added that, it “sounded sweet!”.

There’s plenty of speculation around the web on what’s hiding under all that camouflage, but most sources seem to agree that it’s most likely an updated iteration of the 662hp supercharged Trinity V8 used on the current Shelby GT500.
