There's no V8 turbo model from factory.
We have a 5.0 v8 supercharged from factory made by the Ford perfomance arm (FPV).
They are quoted at 335kw at engine (450hp).
However, Ford seem to be underquoting the power figure as they are pulling 330rear wheel kw on the dyno. Allowing a 16% driveline loss these things are putting out approx 390kw at engine (520hp)
Heres a freak car (remember this is power at the rear, not engine!):

He's now done an 11.2 on street slicks. Makes my current best of 12.19 slow by comparison.
