After months of speculation, Ford Motor Company announced yesterday that the 2020 Shelby GT500 Mustang would offer 760 horsepower and 625 lb-ft of torque from the supercharged 5.2-liter cross-plane V8. When the newest super-pony was first introduced back in January at the Detroit Auto Show, the company provided a ton of details and information, but they held back a few key aspects – power numbers, pricing and option information.
With yesterday’s announcement, we have the power numbers and while the pricing is still unknown, we have an early look at the options for the 2020 Shelby GT500. This information does not come from Ford Motor Company, coming instead from the Ford dealership system by means of a member at Mustang6G.com. This enthusiast community has been one of the top sources of previously unreleased information, so while this information is not technical, it comes from the dealership computer system via a reliable website.
In other words, there might be some differences with the official option list, but for now, this is the best information available on the optional features of the 2020 Mustang GT500. You can view the actual computer system screen shots on the website by clicking here, but we have organized them for easier reading below.
