The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is a high-performance variant of the Ford Mustang developed in collaboration with Shelby American. First introduced in 1967 and revived in several modern generations, the GT500 represents one of the most powerful and track-focused versions of the Mustang lineup.
Modern Shelby GT500 models are powered by a supercharged V8 engine producing exceptionally high horsepower. They feature reinforced drivetrains, performance-tuned suspension systems, upgraded braking components, and aerodynamic enhancements designed to improve high-speed stability and handling. The vehicle retains the Mustang’s two-door coupe configuration and rear-wheel-drive layout.
The Shelby GT500 is positioned at the top of the Mustang performance range and is engineered for both road and track use. It combines the heritage of the original Shelby Mustangs with contemporary engineering and advanced performance technology, making it one of the most capable production Mustangs ever built.
