2022 Mustang Shelby GT500 Heritage Edition Announced
Since the first 1967 model, the Mustang Shelby® GT500® has stood for the pinnacle of Mustang performance and has continued to build on the legacy of Shelby performance. With a reputation for transforming Ford Mustang into dominant road racing machines, Carroll Shelby, American racer and entrepreneur, took his legendary Mustang GT350 model further in 1967 to craft the first-generation Shelby GT500 with a modified 428-cubic-inch V8 inspired by his team’s 1-2-3 finish at Le Mans.
Carroll Shelby called the original Shelby GT500 “the first real car I’m really proud of.” The Shelby GT500 is just as iconic today – as the most powerful and most advanced Mustang ever – as it was during its first iteration 55 years ago.
Paying homage to the original 1967 Shelby GT500, the limited run of 2022 Mustang Shelby GT500 Heritage Edition fastbacks will be finished in a classic and exclusive, Brittany Blue exterior paint with two different Wimbledon White exterior stripe options:
- Painted Over-the-Top racing stripes with unique GT500 logo (also available in Absolute Black)
- Vinyl Over-the-Top racing stripes with unique vinyl side stripe featuring GT500 logo
Designed and engineered by Ford Performance as the most powerful street-legal Ford ever built, the 2022 Mustang Shelby GT500 harnesses world-class muscle and powertrain technologies to attain supercar levels of performance. Features include a first-in-class 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, race-bred control strategies, and advanced drive modes.

Gravity Mobility Dresses the Pony in Yellow and Turns it Loose on NYC
Gravity, the pioneering electric vehicle fleet, and infrastructure start-up, today launched the first in a fleet of all-electric NYC yellow taxis designed to completely reimagine the iconic New York cab.
With Gravity, riders will experience the most advanced taxi to ever hit the streets–all for the standard, predictable cab fare. Gravity’s Ford Mustang Mach E—the first to ever serve as a NYC taxi—offers a customized passenger experience, panoramic roofs for sightseeing, and industry-leading safety tech.
Gravity’s first Model Y is now undergoing its final hack-up and inspection. Gravity’s fleet
combines the company’s own unique innovations with the latest tech from across the industry in one vehicle. Painted a striking Rally Yellow, its cabs come equipped with dynamic passenger controls; a 22-inch display for selfies, music, and video; driver-facing AI tech that identifies and prevents distracted driving; and—most importantly—zero emissions on the streets of New York City.
New Yorkers and visitors can hail one of Gravity’s EV yellow cabs on the street or through
standard yellow taxi e-hail apps. The cars will be charged during overnight hours at Gravity’s own Midtown Manhattan charging space on West 42nd Street, maximizing the hours vehicles are available to carry passengers.
“We’ve designed our fleet to be the smartest, safest, and most sustainable taxi to ever hit the road—something any New Yorker or visitor would be excited to flag down. We want our
advanced EV fleet to not only help reinvigorate the NYC yellow taxi but help reenergize the city and pull it toward a cleaner future,” said Moshe Cohen, founder, and CEO of Gravity, Inc.
Gravity’s first vehicle is a Ford Mustang Mach E—making Gravity’s the first taxi fleet to
include the Mach-E. All vehicles have panoramic roofs to take in the surrounding city. The vehicles are authorized for use as taxis under an EV pilot program adopted by NYC’s Taxi and Limousine Commission earlier this year.
All Gravity taxis have a custom, mounted 22-inch tablet with software enabling riders to
adjust climate controls, play music, watch videos, snap and send a selfie with filters, and
more. Gravity’s systems are designed for riders to make the most of their trip.
Gravity’s charging hubs at Manhattan Plaza on West 42nd Street and other future sites
will allow the company to rapidly charge vehicles during overnight, off-peak hours.
Not only is Gravity deploying some of the safest vehicles on the market, every Gravity
taxi is equipped with industry-leading driver-facing AI technology that helps prevent
driver distraction as well as monitor the vehicle for safe driving behaviors. The suite of
technologies will make drivers, passengers, and everyone on the street safer. All Gravity
drivers are licensed and approved by the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission.
Gravity adheres to all TLC rules regarding accessibility and medallion issuance. While
there are currently no wheelchair accessible EV models for taxi use on the market,
Gravity will become an early adopter as the technology develops and is eager to put
zero-emission wheelchair-accessible vehicles on the road.
