If you can’t wait to get your hands on the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, you’d better start saving as it appears the model will cost more than $70,000.
According to a price list posted on Mustang6G, the high-performance muscle car will have a base price of $70,300. That’s before a $1,095 destination and delivery fee as well as a $2,600 gas guzzler tax.
If the list is accurate, the GT500 will cost $11,160 more than the GT350. It would also mean the model would cost about as much as the 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye which retails for $70,245 before a $1,495 destination fee and a $1,700 gas guzzler tax.
An assortment of options will be available including a Carbon Fiber Track Pack that costs a whopping $18,500. While it’s pretty pricey, the package includes splitter wickers with integrated dive planes and an adjustable carbon fiber rear wing. The package also adds 20-inch carbon fiber wheels that are wrapped in special Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. Other highlights include Recaro front seats, carbon fiber interior trim and a rear seat delete to reduce weight.
Customers will also be able to order a Handling Package for $1,500. It’s far less extensive than the Carbon Fiber Track Pack, but it includes adjustable strut top mounts and a spoiler with a Gurney flap.
