The Predator 5.2-litre supercharged V8 powered the S550 Shelby GT500. Unlike the GT350 Voodoo, it uses a traditional cross-plane crankshaft and a supercharger.
Ford rated the standard 2020–2022 GT500 at 760 hp and 625 lb-ft (roughly 847 Nm) SAE net. Sharing displacement does not make it the same engine as Voodoo.
Heavy-duty cooling and the supporting drivetrain made Predator a defining modern supercharged Mustang powerplant.
