Powering Your Passion: Engine and Driveline

Unyielding Strength: The Driveline’s Foundation

Every Revology Mustang and Shelby GT features a robust Ford 8.8″ rear end with a Traction-Lok limited slip differential. This setup ensures quiet operation and superior durability for years of enjoyment. Unlike many aftermarket options, these 3.31 (A/T) and 3.73 (M/T) gear sets are genuine Ford engineered components. Heavy-duty 31-spline axles reliably transfer the immense power to the pavement, ensuring a direct connection with the road.

Lightweight Advantage: Carbon Fiber Driveshaft

A carbon fiber driveshaft is a crucial component in high-performance vehicles. Its lightweight and high-strength properties are ideal for handling extreme power. Furthermore, carbon fiber offers more forgiveness than steel or aluminum. This contributes to reduced driveline harshness, significantly improving the overall refinement of the vehicle.

The stainless steel dual exhaust system, custom-built by Borla, gives the Revology Shelby GT500 its distinctive voice. Tuned precisely for the Ford Coyote engine, it produces a soft burble at idle.
