According to reports, the 2020 Shelby GT500 will be released this year, which will be the fastest, advanced dynamic performance, legally available Ford Mustang model, which is mainly due to the virtual test and 3D printing technology of supercomputer.
Ford Performance's designers, powertrains and aerodynamics engineers will form a virtual racing team to digitally test their designs and conduct field tests. The team uses the latest digital additive manufacturing prototyping tools to create the final version of the high-performance, legally-forward Ford Mustang.
The team leveraged Ford's extensive range of advanced design simulation tools, including: Ford Performance's Concord Technology Center in North Carolina and the Rapid 3D Prototyping System at the Advanced Manufacturing Center in Redford, Michigan. To validate its improved design, Ford can also use the wind tunnels in Michigan and the Windshwindwindsh wind tunnel.
The Shelby GT500 uses a 93-octane fuel with a maximum power output of over 700 Hp to maximize the cooling of the front (engine compartment) of the vehicle and is designed to improve its racing performance. When the throttle is fully open, the cooling system needs to extract up to 230 kW of heat, which is enough to heat 12 homes. The front brake of this model will also generate 100 kW of heat during maximum braking. The team can use advanced 3D airflow modeling to maximize its cooling while minimizing its front lift and drag. The impact of Philip.
More than 500 3D cooling and aerodynamic designs have been analyzed to maximize the aerodynamic and cooling performance of the vehicle, using the entire chassis simulator from the Ford Technology Center to create a more advanced design model while still Professional racing driver is equipped. The core modeling simulation includes the refrigeration system, automotive front trim and splitter design, brake ducts, tail design and a large 6.03 square foot hood.
To reduce development time, most promising designs use 3D printing, which takes only a few days, not months, to allow the research team to improve the fidelity of performance and aerodynamic fine tuning.
At 180 mph, the team raised the maximum downforce of the vehicle to 550 lbs, using the Mustang GT4's racing-class rear wing, using a carbon fiber track kit to provide the above-mentioned downforce.
The high-performance cooling target also affects its design and virtual testing to ensure consistent thermal management and power output, including the new high-performance automotive front trim and utilizes six heat exchangers to achieve maximum speed. Compared to the current Mustang GT350 design, these devices increase cooling components by 50%.
In addition, a detachable rainwater tray assists in cooling and lowers the hood's air pressure at high speeds, while Shelby's exclusive rear spoiler diverts airflow underneath the vehicle.
The new double-sided thermostat drains coolant to the new secondary tank. In addition, a 600 W brushless electric fan motor and a high-performance 16-speed pneumatic fan windshield increase airflow to the cooling unit while reducing drag and front end lift. It is worth mentioning that there are two new racing-grade oil coolers and gearbox coolers to further enhance the cooling performance of the power system.
The 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500 is said to be available this summer.
