500 HP links the WWII Sherman tank to the Ford Mustang Dark Horse

The WWII-era Sherman tank and the modern Ford Mustang Dark Horse share a surprising engineering benchmark: 500 horsepower. The Ford GAA V8 engine that powered the Sherman produced approximately 500 hp – the same output as the Mustang Dark Horse's engine today. The piece explores the engineering parallels between these two very different machines united by the same power figure.
