2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Performance

Step on that gas and watch the Shelby GT500 go to work. The combination of its 760-horsepower 5.2L supercharged V8 engine and TREMEC® 7-speed dual-clutch transmission provides a thrilling and high-powered drive that’s sure to leave you in awe.

Of course, performance for this sports car isn’t just about power; it’s about the overall experience too. The 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 takes a smooth ride to the next level with the standard MagneRide® Damping System. As road conditions change, the system instantaneously responds for a smoother, more balanced ride.

Then, there are selectable drive modes. Choose from Normal, Snow/Wet, Sport, Track, or Drag Strip to experience your perfect drive.

Sport-Tuned Exterior

We know the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 performs like a top-notch sports car, but does it look the part? With one quick glance at this car, you’ll know for sure that the answer to that question is a resounding yes.

The front end features a redesigned fascia, hood, and fenders that turn heads and reigns in the significant power coming from the engine for a more controlled and aerodynamic performance. Pair all that with the large angular grille openings, and you’ll get a car that exudes sporty style and helps maintain proper airflow for a cooler engine.

Moving to the back of the Shelby GT500, you’ll find a carbon fiber wing. On top of making the rear end look sportier, it works to generate ample downforce when traveling at track speeds for a smoother, more responsive ride.

No Mustang is complete without that iconic engine roar, which is why Ford has equipped the GT500 trim with an active valve exhaust.

Sporty and Luxurious Interior

The interior of the Mustang Shelby GT500 exudes just as much sporty style as its exterior. However, with a blend of luxury features, you won’t just feel power when you’re behind the wheel; you’ll feel a heightened sense of comfort too.

Get behind the wheel and experience the comfort of the RECARO® or Miko® sport seats. If it’s a little chilly or if it’s warmer than usual outside, activate the standard heated and cooled front seats to keep you cozy.

Then, take a look at the standard 12-inch fully configurable LCD digital cluster to stay on top of your Mustang’s performance specs.

If you want to add a little more fun or just a bit of convenience to your drive, activate the SYNC® 3 infotainment system. With a responsive touchscreen, you can find turn-by-turn directions to your next destination, points of interest, and your new favorite song or podcast. It’s even compatible with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ to help you stay connected no matter where the road takes you.
