For decades, the GT500 has regularly served as the most stellar performer in the Mustang lineup. This is a tradition that has carried on into the 2021 model year. The 2021 Mustang GT500 turns out mind-numbing performance statistics, without even breaking a sweat while standing head and shoulders above the rest of the 2021 lineup in terms of total output.

Beneath the 2021 GT500’s hood, is a 5.2-liter supercharged. Cross Plane Crank V8, capable of churning out 760 horsepower and 625 lb.-ft. of torque. All of this equates to a production pony car with top speeds in excess of 180 MPH.

However, the 2021 GT500’s worth extends far beyond the occasional trip to the drag strip. Ford engineered the most recent iteration of the GT500 to be just as agile, as it is brutish. This super-stang has been praised far and wide for its stellar handling and superb cornering capabilities, which can be further amplified through the purchase of Ford’s Carbon Handling Package.
