The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has lost its Carbon Fiber Handling Package for the 2022 model year. The Carbon Fiber Handling Package was introduced at the start of the year, priced at US$ 10,000 and sitting between the US$ 1,500 Handling Pack and the US$ 18,500 Carbon Fiber Track Pack. Sadly, the automaker has confirmed that this package was only ever intended for the 2021 model year.
A number of upgrades came with the Carbon
Fiber Handling Package. These include 20-inch black-painted carbon fiber
wheels, adjustable strut top mounts, a catch can, gurney flap, splitter
wickers, and wheel lock kit. The more expensive Carbon Fiber Track Pack has
20-inch exposed carbon fiber wheels and also adds a carbon fiber instrument
panel, carbon fiber rear wing, Recaro leather seats, rear seat delete, and
Michelin Pilot Cup Sport 2 tires measuring 305/30 front and 315/30 rear.
The aforementioned Mustang Shelby GT500
Heritage Edition has been designed to pay tribute to the original 1967 Shelby
GT500 and features a unique Brittany Blue exterior with Wimbledon White racing
stripes. The 2022 Shelby GT500 is also available in a new color dubbed Code
Orange that’s also offered in the GT, F-150, and upcoming Bronco Raptor.
