2022 Ford Mustang gets retrolicious GT500 Heritage and Coastal editions
Cars
Speaker 1: Even though the Mustang seems to have its eyes firmly set on the future. These days with such an incredible back catalog, you can't really blame Ford for reminiscing every once in a while. And for 2022, the blue oval is getting a little nostalgic with its highest performance pony. This is the new for 2022 Ford Shelby Mustang GT 500 heritage edition [00:00:30] Designed to celebrate 55 years of GT 500. This single model year special indulges in a historic color scheme. Britney blue paint helps this heritage look just like all Shell's original 67 GT 500 as do a set of fat stripes.
Speaker 1: Okay, so Ford hasn't touched up what's underneath the skin, but the GT 500 really didn't need any help. You still get a 5.2 liter predator. V8. That's been super charged to the tune of 760 horsepower [00:01:00] and 625 pound feet of torque paired to a Trax seven speed dual clutch transmission. Now, if you haven't driven this GT 500, it's a lot different than the ones that came before it. Those S 1 97 base GT five hundreds were fun, but turning well. It wasn't exactly a strong suit. This guy still does zero to 60 in three, three quick enough to tear it. Those stripes right off, and it's got grip for days with Magine suspension, the GT 500 flat out handles. [00:01:30] Even if you don't opt for the super spendy carbon fiber track pack. Now the GT 500 heritage probably didn't need any more performance, but it might have been nice to see Ford splash out on some unique interior parts and maybe invest in some nicer feeling paddles either way.
Speaker 1: The heritage edition starts at a cool $79,400, including destination and gas guzzler tax. That's a little over two grand, more than a base 22 GT 500. [00:02:00] Of course, if you're the super posh type and you'd rather have your rights hand painted instead of his decals, Ford will happily oblige in either Wimbledon white or absolute black. However, they're gonna cost you an extra 10 grand. Who did they get to lay those licks down? Monnet I'll just take those free white decals. Thanks. Maybe you don't have the better part of 80 grand burning a hole in your pocket, but still want a special 2022 Mustang. You might wanna check out this coastal limited edition, which lives on the other end [00:02:30] of the Mustang spectrum. Not to be confused with the Mustang, California special. This one's a little less state specific and it's also not a GT. The coastal is strictly an EcoBoost premium model. That means you'll get 310 horses and a pretty healthy 350 pound feet out of that. 2.3 liter turbo four
Speaker 1: Offered on both coop and convertible this one year only coastal pack, which runs just shy of two grand includes 19 [00:03:00] inch wheels with black inserts and machine facing a body colored grill, fake side scoops and super subtle vinyl striping. Oh, and they're a back lit coastal seal plates, fancy available. Next spring, you can get one of these trim and tape specials in Britney blue as well, or in cyber orange or rapid red figure on spending about 35, 5 to park. One of these in your driveway, the slick new GT 500 heritage and coastal hit showrooms next spring with order starting pretty [00:03:30] much right away, the slick new GT 500 heritage and coastal hit showrooms next spring. And as you can probably hear we're just off Detroit's legend dairy Woodward avenue, which is drag racing ground. I'm gonna go see about borrowing keys to the GT 500 maybe Ford to let me have it go in it. If I promise not to replicate one of those cars and coffee videos, Hey, you're still here. Thank you for watching. And whether you like your Mustangs with V eights turbo four S or electric motors, our roads, your crew [00:04:00] has got you covered with all the latest news and reviews.
