Every once in a while, a vehicle comes along that resets the benchmark for what a modern muscle car can be, and this 2022 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is one of those cars. Finished in eye-catching Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat and loaded with performance tech, luxury appointments, and over $10,000 in premium aftermarket Anderson Composites carbon fiber exterior upgrades, this GT500 is more than just a car—it’s an event. From the moment it starts with a rumble that shakes the pavement, to the second you feel the launch from its monstrous 5.2-liter supercharged V8 engine, it’s clear this machine was engineered for those who demand top-tier performance wrapped in a menacing, refined silhouette.

At the heart of this Shelby is a hand-built 5.2-liter Predator V8 that churns out jaw-dropping horsepower, delivered to the rear wheels through a lightning-fast 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It’s brutally fast when you want it to be and composed when cruising, with adaptive suspension and adjustable strut top mounts to dial in your preferred balance of aggression and control. Braking is sharp and confident thanks to massive disc brakes and electronic stability aids. Carbon fiber isn’t just for show—it lightens the load and sharpens the reflexes, and with over $10,000 in Anderson Composites exterior carbon fiber pieces added to this car, its street presence is as serious as its track credentials.

This GT500 was ordered with the Carbon Fiber Track Pack, which adds exclusive features like the exposed carbon fiber GT4 track wing, carbon fiber wheels, and exposed carbon fiber instrument panel trim. The lightweight 20-inch exposed carbon fiber wheels contribute not only to handling precision but also to the aggressive, race-inspired aesthetic. The aerodynamic upgrades work in harmony with the rest of the body to channel airflow and downforce where it matters most, giving this Shelby the kind of purpose-built feel usually reserved for factory race cars.

The Ebony over-the-top stripe and side stripes hint at its motorsport DNA, while the interior balances race-readiness with premium creature comforts. Slide into the leather-trimmed Recaro front seats with Miko suede inserts and you’re greeted by an interior that’s both functional and sophisticated. The Technology Package brings high-end amenities like the B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen, a voice-activated touchscreen navigation system, and SYNC 3 communications and entertainment system. You’ll also enjoy modern conveniences such as heated and ventilated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a premium rearview camera, blind spot monitoring, and keyless entry.

The cockpit is driver-focused with a flat-bottom sport steering wheel, analog-style performance gauges, and intuitive controls that keep you in command whether you're carving up backroads or enjoying a weekend track day. The automatic temperature control and multizone climate features make it surprisingly comfortable for long drives, while the rear seats fold down to offer extra practicality when needed.

With a clean, accident-free CarFax, thorough 172-point inspection completed, and a history of being well-serviced, this GT500 represents an exceptional opportunity to own a high-performance American icon that’s already been tastefully enhanced with rare, high-end components. If you’ve been searching for a Shelby GT500 that combines showroom condition, exclusive upgrades, and turn-key track readiness, you’d be hard-pressed to find another one this dialed in. It’s more than just a Mustang—it’s the most powerful, aggressive, and refined expression of one to date.
