The New Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 Isn’t Built By The Blue Oval

Shelby offers two primary versions of the car: The street-based GT350, and the track-ready, street-legal GT350R. The GT350 gets upgraded suspension, a new exhaust, and Shelby styling. Buyers can opt to have the car with a near-stock GT powertrain making 480 horsepower, or supercharged, which delivers 810 horsepower. Manual and automatic transmission options are available, but total production is limited to 562 cars.

The GT350R comes exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission and has more than 830 horsepower. Only 36 cars will be available in two color schemes: White with blue stripes or white with gold/silver/black accents. The car features a carbon fiber tub, an integrated roll cage, and a racing suspension system.

Shelby priced the GT350 at $109,999 for the supercharged version, which also buys the underlying Mustang GT. No pricing is available for the base GT350 or the GT350R. The cars come with a three-year/36,000-mile warranty from Shelby and keeps its Ford factory powertrain coverage, but The Blue Oval isn’t involved in the car’s production. That said, buyers can get a GT350 or GT350R at one of Shelby’s authorized Ford dealers.
