The top-of-the-line Mustang variant features a new race-inspired sporty design, high-powered performance, and modern technologies that step up the Mustang Shelby’s game.

In a statement, Ford Philippines Managing Director Michael Breen said, “The new Mustang Shelby GT500 is among Ford’s flagship performance vehicles with a proven race heritage. The new variant exudes unmistakable Mustang Shelby qualities and characteristics in an enhanced modern iteration as seen by its updated design, performance enhancements, and innovative features, giving Mustang enthusiasts something to get excited about.”

The Mustang Shelby GT500 is powered by a 5.2-liter supercharged cross-plane crank V8 engine that churns out a maximum power output of 760hp and a maximum torque of 847Nm. The engine is mated to a seven-speed Tremec dual clutch transmission, enabling higher acceleration, responsive, and performance.

The car also features a Magneride damping system that uses sensors to monitor body and wheel motion thousands of time per second to adjust shock absorber stiffness and enable quick responsiveness to varying road conditions. It also comes with red-painted Brembo brake calipers that are designed for the heat and performance demands that the brake system requires when the car is on a track.

Other performance-enhancing features include 3.73 Torsen limited-slip rear differential; magnesium tower-to-tower brace; electronic line lock and launch control; MacPherson strut with stabilizer bar front suspension and independent integral link with stabilizer bar rear suspension; selectable drive modes (Normal, Sport+, Track, Drag/Strip, Wet mode); magnesium paddle shifters; aluminum front bumper beam; unique front fascia, fenders, grille, and front splitter; and active valve performance exhaust system with quad exhaust tips.

For better handling, the Mustang Shelby GT500 is engineered with improved chassis stiffness and precise steering response. It also features an increased front track width and lower ride height to enhance track capability and lateral grip.

The new Mustang Shelby GT500 is designed to highlight its performance qualities inside and out. Its exterior design features LED headlamps with signature lighting, LED tail lamps with sequential tri-bar turn signals, unique hood with self-centering hood pins, distinctive front fascia, vinyl over-the-top racing stripes, rear diffuser, rear spoiler, and a larger front radiator block-off plate. It is also equipped with 20” x 11.0” flow-formed high-gloss black-painted aluminum wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, and large ventilated SHW brake rotors.

On the inside, the car comes with a rotary gear shift dial, Shelby-exclusive aluminum instrument panel trim, Recaro leather-trimmed with Miko Suede seats, four-way manually adjustable driver and two-way manually adjustable front passenger seats, leather- and Alcantara-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters, and Ford Performance aluminum scruff plates.

For a smarter ride experience, the new Mustang Shelby GT500 comes with Track Apps located in the instrument cluster, providing performance metrics. Meanwhile, the accelerometer shows lateral and longitudinal g-forces, acceleration times and lap times, and countdown starts.

The cabin also comes with a host of comfort and convenience features including dual-zone automatic temperature control, intelligent access with push-button start, illuminated visor mirror, power windows with global open and front one touch-up/down function, remote start system, and electric parking brake.

It is also equipped with a 12-inch LCD digital instrument cluster with MyColor, Sync 3 enhanced voice recognition, communications, and entertainment system. The cockpit also features an eight-inch capacitive center touchscreen with swipe capability and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

To ensure greater safety whether on-track or on-road, the new Mustang Shelby GT500 comes with electronic stability control, Belt-Minder safety belt reminders, and individual tire pressure monitoring system. It is also equipped with dual-stage front airbags, knee airbags, front-seat side airbags, and side curtain airbags.

The new Mustang Shelby GT500 is available in 11 color variants: Antimatter Blue, Carbonized Gray, Grabber Yellow, Oxford White, Shadow Black, Velocity Blue, Race Red, Twister Orange, Iconic Silver, Rapid Red, and Performance Blue. It has a starting retail price of P7.76 million with an additional P15,000 for the Twister Orange color variant.
