The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is Ford Performance's supercharged flagship Mustang and the most powerful factory Mustang ever built. It has been produced in two modern generations: S197 (2013 to 2014, supercharged 5.8L Trinity V8, 662 horsepower, 6-speed manual) and S550 (2020 to 2022, supercharged 5.2L Predator V8, 760 horsepower, 7-speed dual-clutch). Every modern GT500 is supercharged from the factory.
The Shelby GT500 is Ford Performance's flagship Mustang — the most powerful factory Mustang ever built and one of the most supercharger-friendly performance platforms on the market. Every modern GT500 is supercharged from the factory, making them the top of the Mustang hierarchy and the benchmark for American muscle.
The 2013 to 2014 S197 GT500 uses a supercharged 5.8L Trinity V8 producing 662 horsepower — the first factory Shelby to crack the 200 mph barrier. The 2020+ S550 GT500 uses a supercharged 5.2L Predator V8 producing 760 horsepower, paired with a Tremec TR-9070 seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. No factory manual is offered on the S550 GT500.
Arizona Elite Motors regularly carries GT500 builds including factory cars, pulley-upgraded examples, and supercharger-swapped builds. The Trinity and Predator V8s both accept significant power upgrades on stock internals with proper supporting modifications, making the GT500 a favorite platform for built power.
