A rumor is swirling that Ford might bring back the Mustang Shelby GT500 in 2026. A leaked memo hints at a special engine being prepped for the model. However, Ford hasn't officially confirmed its return.

A leaked memo from Ford's Dearborn Engine Plant says to expect a staffing increase this fall for the upcoming GT500's new mill.

A document that appears to come from the UAW's Dearborn contingent is brimming with excitement over a new engine and where it will find a home.

A document purportedly from the United Auto Workers union claims the GT500 will return for 2026, packing an engine called 'Legend.'

Who would have guessed that the Ford Mustang would come to represent such a range of vehicles, and that buyers would prefer the new one?

Recent leaks indicate that Ford will resurrect the Mustang Shelby GT500 as its final run concluded after the 2022 model year by launching this iconic car for the 2026 model year. After its conclusion post the 2022 launch the GT500 model will return in 2026 along with its engine and 760 horsepower rating.

Mustang fans may finally see the return of the Shelby GT500. A leaked United Auto Workers memo suggests Ford is planning a 2026 revival, tied to an additional shift at the Dearborn Engine Plant.
