For classic Mustang style and unparalleled performance, there’s the Ford Mustang Shelby GT.
What is the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT?
The Ford Mustang Shelby GT models are high-performance versions of the iconic American pony car. With their wide fenders, muscular grilles, and rear spoilers, they’re easy to pick out of a crowd. Indeed, everything about this car was meant to help you stick corners and speed to the finish line.
But that’s not to say that the Shelby GT doesn’t combine race-track-ready speed with daily refinement, because it certainly does that. Whether you’re showing off your skills at the track or cruising to the office, you can adjust the adaptive suspension for greater performance or comfort. And, inside, all Shelby Mustangs specialize in luxury, with optional Recaro sport seats and all the essential infotainment features.
Why the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350?
Before the bigger, faster Shelby GT500 hit the streets, the Shelby GT350 was the most incredible Mustang to ever come out of a Ford factory. And, with a 5.2-liter V8 engine that pumps out 526 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque, it’s still an excellent option for drivers with a need for speed. The MagneRide adaptive suspension can be adjusted for whatever you’re in the mood for, whether that’s max comfort or all-out athleticism.
There are two trim models available, the GT350 and the even more capable GT350R. The GT350 is anything but basic, with high-performance gear that includes Brembo brakes, adaptive suspension dampers, and three powertrain coolers to keep the oil, differential, and transmission in good working order. The track-based GT350R adds 19-inch carbon fiber wheels with special Michelin tires, a carbon-fiber rear wing, and even sportier suspension tuning.
Why choose the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500?
This might just be the most incredible Mustang ever built. With its supercharged V8 engine and optional Carbon-Fiber Track package, it’s the ultimate street-legal, track-ready pony car. The Shelby GT500 was ultimately built for performance, but it also throws in plenty of comfort and refinement for your daily drive.
Under the hood, this Mustang’s supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine offers all kinds of thrills with 760 horsepower and 625 pound-feet of torque. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels.
In addition to being the most powerful Mustang to ever roll out of a factory, the optional Carbon Fiber Track package helps make it light on its feet. The Handling package makes this Shelby’s already-agile performance even sharper.
Besides being almost too hot to handle, the Shelby GT500 takes your comfort into account. The single trim level is handsomely equipped with leather-wrapped front seats and a digital gauge cluster display. The Sync 3 infotainment system includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay functions, and a Wi-Fi hotspots bolsters your signal strength.
