Sleek, sexy, aggressive: however one might describe this 2020 Ford Selby GT500, there is no disputing its rank as the quickest, most powerful Mustang ever to its time. Offered with an odometer reading of just 19 miles, the original factory plastic wrap protecting the interior and the window sticker still intact, it is nearly as new as the day it emerged from the Flat Rock, Michigan, assembly plant. Chassis No. L1363, it boasts the full array of available options to maximize its on-track performance and to look good in the process. Festooned in vibrant Twister Orange paint with a black-painted roof and over-the-top stripes, the GT500’s curvaceous shape, aggressively styled front fascia, full-width rear spoiler and extra wide Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires leave no doubt as to its potential. Motive force comes via the hand-built, supercharged 5.2L Predator V-8 engine cranking out 760 HP to a paddle-shifted Tremec 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission backed by a Torsen 3.73:1 differential. MagneRide damping, launch control and line lock, electronic power-assisted rack-and- pinion steering and Brembo ventilated disc brakes with two-piece vented brake rotors deliver handling to match the Predator’s roaring output. The GT500’s expansive range of standard features also includes a unique vented hood, HID projector headlamps, LED tail lamps with sequential signals, a rearview camera and pushbutton start. More amenities abound in the Recaro ebony leather interior including an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel with tilt and telescopic column, power windows, locks and mirrors, dual-zone automatic climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and cruise control. In addition to that prominent rear wing, the $18,500 Carbon Fiber Track Pack adds 20-inch exposed carbon fiber wheels and instrument panel, Recaro leather seats and a special wheel locking kit. The Technology Package, a $3,000 option, comprises a Bang and Olufsen 12-speaker sound system, blind-spot and cross-traffic alert, and a voice-activated SYNC 8-inch touch-screen navigation system. With all those assets on board, this 2020 Ford Shelby GT500 has everything for the most demanding Ford/Shelby enthusiast.
