The 2022 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is your ticket to experience the endless thrills of this rollercoaster of a car. The GT500 lineage exists thanks to Carroll Shelby stuffing a massive V8 engine in a 1965 Mustang. And it’s still the same recipe after 55 years, as a monstrous supercharged 5.2-liter V8 powerplant has been shoved into this. The car is so powerful that even Ford refers to it as the ‘Predator’. This Shelby GT500 we have today comes with the Carbon Fiber Track Pack and Technology Package. Set this beast up for the track, and it will turn out to be faster than a Lamborghini Huracan Evo or the rapid Porsche 718 Cayman GT4.

Exterior and Interior
Draped in a Carbonized Gray coat of paint, this is as aggressive as it gets from the factory. A carbon fiber hood scoop and a carbon fiber rear spoiler compliment the sharp silhouette. It doesn’t stop there, this 2022 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is mounted on 20” exposed carbon fiber wheels wrapped in grippy Michelin Cup Sport 2 tires. You’ve got throaty V8 symphonies exiting through the quad tip dual exhaust while red-painted Brembo brake calipers contrast with a roof painted in black. If you’ve got more than one friend then you’ll have to call them a cab, because the rear seats have been deleted to save weight. However, this means you will find an extra tenth or two on the track. After all this is one of the mightiest Mustangs ever produced, every tenth counts. The black cockpit comes with dual-zone climate control, an infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a pair of comfy seats embossed with the Shelby logo; this Mustang even being a track monster, still delivers some of the practicality of a normal one.

Engine
Under the hood of this 2022 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is a 5.2-liter supercharged cross-plane crank V8 monster, rightfully nicknamed the ‘Predator’. Mated to a Tremec 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, this stallion is capable of producing up to a reported 760 horsepower and 625 lb-ft of torque through a set of 3.73 Torsen rear axles.
