Priced from $209,995 (vehicle not included) and limited to 10-units per model year for 2020-2022, the Shelby GT500 Code Red will quickly become a highly prized collector’s item. The highlight of this package is its FHP Twin Turbo System, which boosts the 5.2L V8 to 1,300 hp and 1,000 lb-ft of torque when filled when E85 flex fuel.
Even on standard 93 octane pump gas, the engine pumps out 1,000 hp and 780 lb-ft of torque, mated to an all-new transmission capable of withstanding all the power, along with a one-piece aluminum driveshaft, Currie 9-inch rear end, Air Locker differential as well as 35-spline axles. Suspension wise, it comes equipped with Shelby/Eibach adjustable suspension, Shelby/Baer brakes / rotors, and 20-inch wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zeros up front and stickier Nitto NY555R drag radials at the rear. For something even more rare, there’s the Toyota-Shelby 2000GT.

CODE RED is designed to be the pinnacle of Shelby Mustangs. While we never put it into production during 2008, many were keen to own one. The current generation Shelby GT500 is so robust and spectacular that many of the issues we encountered 14 years ago no longer exist. It’s so perfect for CODE RED transformation that we began quietly building a few for insiders who asked. Though we did not initially intend to offer a formal edition, demand was so strong that we elected to build a very small number of them,” said Gary Patterson, president of Shelby American.
