Those looking to pick up the keys to a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 will need to shell out a little extra for the 2022 model year.
When the ultimate variant of the Mustang originally hit the market, it had an MSRP of $70,300, excluding the obligatory $2,600 gas guzzler tax and a $1,195 destination and delivery fee, bringing the price up to $74,095. However, the MSRP has now jumped to $73,465 before the same $2,600 gas guzzler fee and $1,195 destination fee, Cars Direct reports.

This means you will need to shell out at least $77,260 to purchase a 2022 model, and that’s before any dealer markups.
No significant upgrades were introduced for the 2022 Mustang GT500 but one option no longer available is the Carbon Fiber Handling Package. This package cost a cool $10,000 and sat between the $1,500 Handling Pack and the $18,500 Carbon Fiber Track Pack. It came with features including 20-inch black-painted carbon fiber wheels, adjustable strut top mounts, a catch can, gurney flap, splitter wickers, and a wheel lock kit.
The Carbon Fiber Track Pack includes 20-inch exposed carbon fiber wheels, a carbon instrument cluster, carbon rear wing, Recaro leather seats, rear seat delete, and Michelin Pilot Cup Sport 2 tires measuring 305/30 up front and 315/30 at the rear.
One key change for 2022 is the availability of the GT500 Heritage Edition. This model features an exclusive Brittany Blue paint scheme with Wimbledon White vinyl racing stripes. Ford also offers hand-painted racing stripes but at $12,140, they aren’t cheap. Another update made for 2022 is the availability of a new color dubbed Code Orange, also offered on the GT, F-150 Raptor, and Bronco Raptor.
