There are fast Mustangs, and then there is the Shelby GT500.

This 2021 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 currently available at Sherwood Ford represents one of
the most extreme factory Mustangs Ford has ever put on the road. Under its hood sits a
supercharged 5.2-liter V8 producing 760 horsepower and 625 lb-ft of torque,
connected to a Tremec seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

But horsepower alone is not what makes this particular GT500 worth talking about.
Finished in Velocity Blue, equipped with the Carbon Fiber Handling Package,
Technology Package, Recaro leather-trimmed seats and showing only 6,420 kilometres,
this is a remarkably well-equipped, low-kilometre example.

It also has a clean CARFAX report and vehicle history, while the body has been
fully protected with paint protection film (PPF).

760 Horsepower Changes the Definition of a Mustang

The heart of the GT500 is Ford’s hand-built, supercharged 5.2-liter V8. It produces
760 horsepower and 625 lb-ft of torque, giving this Shelby the kind of
output that pushes it far beyond the traditional muscle-car formula.

Ford paired the engine with a Tremec seven-speed dual-clutch transmission,
allowing rapid shifts while keeping the supercharged V8 in its powerband. The result is
a Mustang with the acceleration and response expected from a serious modern performance car.

Velocity Blue Makes This One Hard to Miss

This GT500 is finished in Velocity Blue and complemented by a factory
Vinyl Over-The-Top Stripe. The combination suits the GT500 particularly well:
unmistakably Mustang, but with the aggressive front openings, hood venting, aero and Shelby
details that separate it from an ordinary Mustang GT.

The Carbon Fiber Handling Package

This is where the specification gets especially interesting. This GT500 is equipped with
Ford’s Carbon Fiber Handling Package.

• 20-inch painted carbon fiber wheels
• Adjustable strut-top mounts
• Wheel-locking kit

The wheels are genuine painted carbon fiber wheels. Unlike exposed carbon fiber
wheels that showcase the weave, these use a painted finish while retaining the performance
advantages of carbon fiber construction.

Reducing wheel mass can reduce unsprung and rotational weight, helping suspension response,
braking, acceleration and steering feel. That is the kind of engineering detail that makes
the GT500 more than simply a Mustang with a very powerful engine.

Technology Package

The original buyer also selected the Technology Package, adding useful
everyday technology to a very focused performance car.

• B&O sound system
• BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert
• Voice-activated touchscreen navigation

That gives the GT500 a useful dual personality: a serious Ford Performance machine when the
road gets interesting, and a surprisingly livable Mustang when the trip is longer.

Recaro Leather-Trimmed Seats

Inside are another desirable factory option: Recaro leather-trimmed seats. Finished in Ebony with grey accents, the Recaros give the cabin a more purposeful look while providing the support expected in a car with this level of performance.

Just 6,426 Kilometres

Then there is the odometer: 6,426 kilometres.

For a 2021 performance car, that is exceptionally low mileage. Just as important, this GT500
comes with a clean CARFAX report and clean vehicle history. Combined with the
full-body PPF, the condition and history are among the strongest parts of this Shelby’s story.

This 2021 Shelby GT500 at a Glance

A Shelby From a Special Era

The 2021 GT500 occupies a distinctive place in Mustang history. It belongs to the S550
generation and represents one of the most ambitious factory performance Mustangs ever built:
a supercharged V8, dual-clutch transmission, adaptive suspension, huge brakes and available
carbon fiber wheels in one package.

That combination gives the car an identity of its own. It is unmistakably a Mustang,
yet much of the hardware and engineering philosophy is closer to what enthusiasts expect
from far more exotic machinery.

Could the S550 Shelby GT500 Become Collectible?

Nobody can guarantee what a modern performance car will be worth years from now, and buying
one solely because somebody promises it will become collectible misses the point.

Still, enthusiasts tend to look for familiar ingredients: low mileage, clean history,
desirable factory options, strong condition and a significant place in the model’s history.
This GT500 checks a lot of those boxes.

With 6,426 kilometres, Velocity Blue paint, the Carbon Fiber Handling Package,
painted carbon fiber wheels, Recaro seats, Technology Package, clean CARFAX and full-body PPF,
this particular example brings together a very compelling specification.
