Ford has a lot in store for us at this week's 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show, with the Blue Oval having already revealed the revamped Flex and Mustang models, while we're still waiting for the brand new Escape crossover.

Today, we got our first look at the 2013MY Mustang series that includes the regular V6 and V8 GT models, plus the 444HP Boss 302 and the almighty, Camaro ZL1-rivalling Shelby GT500 with 650 wild ponies under its hood.

By now, you’ve read all about the revamped Mustang, including the high-performance Boss 302 and Laguna Seca versions. It all pales in comparison to the Shelby GT500 that Ford is planning to roll out at the Los Angeles Auto Show on Wednesday.

Powered by what Ford claims to be the world’s most powerful production V8 engine, the GT500 packs no less than 650-horses and 600 lb-ft of torque.

That’s no typo: the 5.8-liter supercharged V8 has 41 horses more than the McLaren F1, 24 more than the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, and an amazing 70 more than the original Lamborghini Murcielago. On the downside, it falls one pony short of the Ferrari Enzo.
