RIDES on TLC did a whole episode on that car.
605hp, a ton or torque.
Top speed over 260mph
Carroll SHelby test drove it and beat on it a little (burnouts and donuts) and approved it. Then signed it.
There can't be any way Ford will produce this car with 605 hp.
but I hope I'm wrong
a few more from the detroit auto show

too bad that car doesnt have a top. Honesty i think it looks very strange and doesn't really match the name thats tacked onto it. Looks very much like a european and asian designer met up and made the thing. I'd take an older one anyday.
And doesn't that bronco kinda look like an H2?

LOL..........that is a theoretical top speed. There is no way it will even come close to that. I would be amazed if it hit 200.

Carrol Shelby can suck my scrot. He is a used up has been that created a few cool cars back in the day. He is now nothing more than a faded legend grubbing for money and fame any where he can. (like selling Shelby chili mix). His shelby series one is a turd. I love that new cobra, but I wouldn't support Carroll. I also have doubts about an open roof roadster reaching 200mph. I'll bet it gets close in a hurry, but there has to be some real drag (just like on the originals, hence the design of the Daytona coupe) As far as that Bronco. Oh my God, I want one! Its about time Ford stepped up and started building real truck based "utes" instead of these weak azz "cute-utes" and luxo-barges. I love every single Bronco that has ever been made, including the slightly feeble Bronco II which I happen to own, and it makes a great winter vehicle!
Thank you for taking the time to read my rant!

I really like the new Bronco. I hope they make it more offroad like though....No seude seats, a real engine, and get rid of the independent suspension up front. Go with some Dana 60's instead :tu:

I wouldnt be surprised if it did. 605hp is plenty to reach that speed, all it needs is to be aerodynamically sounds and sealed, good gearing, a great set of tires, and a ballsy driver...all possible imo, especially if the current corvettes could reach just about 180 mph, and certain porsches somewhere around 190 with under 500 hp.
