For decades, the GT500 has consistently been the top performer in the Mustang lineup, and this tradition continues into the 2021 model year. The 2021 Mustang GT500 effortlessly delivers staggering performance figures that far surpass the rest of the 2021 lineup.
Opting for the Carbon Fiber Track Pack enhances the GT500’s appearance with a GT4-spec rear wing for a more aggressive look. Moreover, this configuration includes carbon-fiber wheels, a carbon-fiber dashboard, and the removal of the rear seat, reducing the vehicle’s weight. These modifications not only result in a lighter overall car but also enhance its agility on the race track.
The example offered here, courtesy of Bring A Trailer, is a low-mileage 2021 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 equipped with the Carbon Fiber Track Pack from the factory.
Finished in Oxford White, this Shelby GT500 comes with a louvered hood, HID headlights, heated mirrors, Cobra puddle lamps, a rear wing, and LED taillights with sequential turn signals. The Carbon Fiber Track Pack adds front splitter wickers and a manually adjustable carbon-fiber rear wing.
It rides on exposed carbon-fiber 20″ seven-spoke wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires (305/30 front and 315/30 rear). The car features a four-wheel independent suspension and a MagneRide damping system, as well as six-piston front and four-piston rear Brembo brake calipers with two-piece ventilated rotors. The Carbon Fiber Track Pack also includes adjustable strut top mounts.
Inside, the Recaro front seats are upholstered in Ebony leather with Miko suede, gray accents, and embroidered Cobra insignias on the backrests. The rear seats were removed as part of the Carbon Fiber Track Pack. The car boasts a SYNC 3 infotainment system with an 8″ touchscreen, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, and Ford Track Apps. The Technology Package adds a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, voice-activated navigation, and BLIS blind-spot monitoring.
Under the hood, you’ll find a 5.2-liter supercharged Cross Plane Crank V8 engine paired with a Tremec seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and a Torsen limited-slip differential, delivering 760 horsepower and 625 lb.-ft. of torque, enabling speeds exceeding 180 MPH.
This highly-spec’d GT500 currently shows 1,800 miles on its odometer and comes with a window sticker, owner’s manual, accident-free Carfax report, and a clean Nevada title.
