2021 GT500 and a new Carbon Fiber Handling Package?

Can't wait to see the fine details as well as if it will use the exact same CF wheels as the CFTP car but that's what Ford is up to.

https://media.ford.com/content/dam/fordmedia/North America/US/product/2021/2021-ford-whats-new.pdf

"On Mustang Shelby GT500, available Carbon Fiber Handling Package includes 20-inch black-painted carbon fiber wheels, adjustable strut top mounts, catchcan, Gurney flap and splitter wickers."

"New colors too: Antimatter Blue, Carbonized Gray and Grabber Yelloware new for Mustang, Mustang GT and Shelby GT500."

So no seat delete, no CF wing, and no CF driveshaft ??

The CF driveshaft is standard GT500 fodder regardless of whether CFTP, Handling Package or Base.

Looks like a CFTP-lite in that it just won't have the RSD and GT4 wing.

Love it! That would make my CFTP a bit more special.

Carbonized grey




I just came

Interested , glad to see an added option for 2021

Does anyone know if these are just colors in addition to the current 2020 colors, or will some 2020 colors go away and these are replacement colors?

I think performance blue will go away.

Thanks, PIPO. As long as they keep iconic silver I'm good.

Also, does anyone with the Ford car cover option ($395) think it's worth it? My last '14 GT500 cover was crappy and cheap.

From what ive heard the new ones aren't any better.

I bought a Coverking cover for my GT350 in black. Fitment was perfect. Material was thick softness designed to protect and breathe.



Just so happens that the 2020 factory GT500 covers are the same material and from the same company. I have no ****ing idea why I chose red other than it is sexy as ****.














Color me extremely satisfied with the factory cover. It doesn't get any plusher.

Thank you, Tob. Great pictures that were very helpful. Looks like I'll be getting the factory cover as it's much improved over the 13/14 version.

The new factory covers are perfect.

Wow. That thing makes a statement.

I will definitely order the cover this time!
Damn sexy.

I also just read the linked document. It doesn’t mention CFTP going away, just addition of CFHP.
Hopefully the CFHP won’t be limited and that the CFTP continues.
Interesting news there.

It’s ok, I’d do it if storing it inside.

Rapid Red staying for 2021? When will you be able to order a 2021?

So does anyone know why Ford hasn’t released the 2021 order guide yet? Are they still taking 2021 orders starting October 12?

They’re building ‘20 thru Dec I’m assuming the winter break means ‘21s start in early 2021.
Does the standard Pilot 4S have the 40* or freeze restrictions?
