2022 Mustang Shelby GT500 Exterior
It'll be difficult to mistake the GT500 for anything but the king of the Ford stable, with swooping, angular lines, a bulging vented hood, and winglets aplenty. The front features splitter wickers and an aggressive fascia that avoids subtlety, making it obvious that downforce and channeling of the air are the main purposes of the styling decisions. LED daytime running lights feature, along with the trademark Shelby cobra insignia, while wide fenders house 20-inch wheels, which can be had in carbon fiber. At the back, a diffuser adds more presence but the most noticeable feature is the massive wing, which can be had in two sizes.

Dimensions
The GT500 shares much of its basic architecture with the regular Mustang GT, including its 107.1-inch wheelbase. However, thanks to splitters and spoilers, its body is longer at 189.5 inches. Height is 54.3 inches in standard form, but if you spec the Carbon Fiber Track Package, it'll be even lower at 53.7. Width is increased over the standard GT's 75.4 inches to accommodate wider tires in the bigger arches, now measuring 76.6 inches. Thanks to a heavy engine and bigger body, curb weight increases too, with a base figure of 4,183 pounds, although the optional carbon fiber bits and pieces and rear-seat delete should drop that figure somewhat.
