The 2020 model year
Overview
The performance high-water mark of the generation. The Shelby GT500 arrived with a 5.2 L supercharged "Predator" V8 making 760 horsepower — the most powerful street-legal Ford and the most powerful production Mustang ever to that point — paired exclusively with a 7-speed Tremec dual-clutch transmission. Below it, the 2.3 L EcoBoost gained a High Performance Package (a 330 hp turbo borrowed in part from the Focus RS). This was also the final year for the Bullitt and for the GT350 / GT350R.

Year over year
What changed
- Shelby GT500 launched — 5.2 L supercharged "Predator" V8, 760 hp, the most powerful street Mustang to that point.
- GT500 used a 7-speed Tremec dual-clutch transmission (no manual offered).
- EcoBoost High Performance Package added (330 hp turbo-four).
- Final year for the Bullitt and for the Shelby GT350 / GT350R.
Worth knowing
Notable
- Most powerful production Mustang ever at launch (760 hp GT500).
- Last year of the naturally aspirated flat-plane GT350 / GT350R and of the Bullitt — a landmark sign-off year for collectors.
Living with it
Reliability & ownership notes
- The GT500's dual-clutch transmission and supercharged Predator are high-output hardware — these are best bought with full service history; track-used cars warrant extra scrutiny.
- The EcoBoost HPP turbo is a stouter unit than the standard 2.3.
