The 2022 Mustang Shelby GT500 serves as an upscale version of the year’s standard GT offerings, with an abundance of power on tap. With enough technical bravado to make those at NASA’s engineering department envious, and an appearance striking enough to turn every head, there is little not to love about the 2022 Shelby GT500.
Underneath the Shelby GT500’s hood is a fire-breathing engine, quite appropriately referred to by Ford as the “Predator”. This powerplant is a 5.2L supercharged Cross Plane Crank V8, capable of churning out 760 horsepower, and 625 lb-ft of torque. The Predator comes paired with a Tremec 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, which ultimately directs the GT500’s output through a set of 3.73 Torsen rear axles.
The 2022 GT500’s steering, suspension, and braking systems are also quite impressive, warranting more than a fleeting glance. Some of the most noteworthy technical aspects of these systems include the addition of Brembo high-performance brake calipers, MagneRide Damping, and selectable power-assisted steering.
