2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500: Showing The Speed Of Progress
Ford certainly raised the ante with the production of the Mustang Shelby GT500 that snarls at the competition with 760 horsepower and crosses into supercar territory with aplomb. Demonstrating it’s a menace whether it’s at the drag strip, pegging the apexes on a road course or terrorizing the youngbloods at the corner stoplight, this is Ford’s biggest, baddest and most powerful Mustang to date.
“Carroll was always working on the next faster Shelby, I think he would love this Mustang more than any other,” said Jim Farley, Ford’s former chief operating officer and current CEO.
Inspired by Carroll Shelby, who recognized the Mustang’s potential by experimenting with a pair of ’67 coupes dubbed Green Hornet and Lil Red, the 2020 Shelby GT500 is a result of some intense development by Ford Performance and a select group of partners to produce a holy terror on wheels that matches the agility of a Ferrari.
