This is the classic muscle car formula – an immensely powerful engine in a relatively lightweight car – taken to the next level. – Tom Scarpello, Revology
Fortunately for you, we sometimes get a tip or even an inside look at some of the cool, one-off stuff that will show up on the SEMA show floor.
In this case, we get to checkout a car which many Revology fans have been waiting for. The Orlando, Florida, company has produced more than four officially licensed Ford and Shelby Mustang models since its inception, and a fifth joined its growing list.

Revology Cars president and founder, Tom Scarpello, announced that the ROUSH engine provides the Revology GT500 with a power-to-weight ratio on par with a Ferrari 458.
“This is the classic muscle car formula — an immensely powerful engine in a relatively lightweight car — taken to the next level,” Tom said. “It is not only fast, it also stops and turns like a sports car and is civilized enough to be driven daily.”
As noted in our previous coverage of Revology machines, that is the spirit of its cars — to blend a modern essence with a forever classic.
In addition to Tom’s idea of going fast and looking good doing it, we’ve documented the extreme power potential of the 2.3-liter TVS supercharger in the past. What it may lack in displacement sure makes up for in efficiency. These superchargers have taken Mustangs far beyond the 800-plus rear-wheel horsepower range, leading us to believe that the 600 horsepower, 475 lb-ft of torque rating from Revology might be on the conservative side.
Keep an eye out for this one folks. It is surely one you won’t want to miss this year. Until then, check out our previous articles on Revology’s 1966 Shelby GT350 here, and its 1968 Ford Mustang Bullitt Fastback here.
