2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Golden Ticket Coupe

Six generations and nearly six decades down the line, you won’t find many nameplates that continue to maintain their sheer desirability. Ford’s Mustang is one of a handful that can claim that accolade, as it’s been doing so since the first ‘Stang rolled off the Dearborn lines in 1964. On the cusp of a seventh generation, the sixth generation continues to sell well, and since buying a brand new car is a bit of a palaver these days, what with waiting lists, increased prices, and logistical delays, the next best thing is a lightly used example, such as this 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Carbon Track Pack with just 1200 miles on the odometer. It’s no ordinary ‘Stang either, but one of the hallowed Shelby variants, and comes with the Carbon Track Pack worth $18,500, also known as the Golden Ticket Package. Take a chance on it, we’re sure that you’ll fall in love with it!

Exterior and Interior

Sporting a very nice Iconic Silver paint job, this 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Carbon Track Pack won’t stick out like the brighter colored ones, yet the dual black vinyl over-the-top stripes hint at it's racing pedigree – if the exposed carbon fiber rear wing, high gloss ebony vinyl side stripes, 20-inch exposed carbon fiber wheels and quad tailpipes out rear aren’t enough of a hint. The roof is painted black for dramatic contrast. Cobra motifs complete the Shelby branding on the exterior, and the vented hood isn’t for show but to keep the mini power station under the hood operating at safe temperatures. A wheel locking kit keeps those lovely wheels safe from thieves. The interior is surprisingly friendly for such a potent machine, and it’s comfortable enough to be used as a daily driver. An abundance of tech toys is present, including the Technology Package, digital instrument cluster, multifunction steering wheel with paddle shifters, dual-zone climate control, phone charging ports, voice-activated touchscreen navigation, and a sublime 12-speaker B&O sound system. There’s some active safety kit included such as Blindspot Alert and Cross Traffic Alert.

Engine

Let’s get down to business, because everyone’s interested in the engine that lies beneath the hood of a Mustang. This 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Carbon Track Pack is endowed with a 5.2L V8 that may not seem that large, but strap a supercharger onto it, and 760hp at 7,300rpm, along with 625lb-ft at 5,000rpm is what you get. All this is sent to the rear wheels via a Tremec 7-speed dual clutch transmission. The zero to sixty is said to be around 3.5 seconds, while top speed is electronically reigned in at 180mph.
