Shelby American has launched the new GT350 and GT350R models, boasting a staggering 810 horsepower sourced from a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine. The vehicles, which are expected to reach production levels around 2025, are designed to honor the legacy of the original Shelby Mustang while integrating advanced automotive technology. According to Shelby American CEO Gary Patterson, ‘This isn’t just about performance; it’s about honoring a rich heritage.’ The GT350 will come standard with an advanced 10-speed automatic transmission while offering a 7-speed manual as an option, catering to both traditionalists and modern drivers alike. The return of the GT350 to racing events hints at an exciting new era for Shelby, especially as the company reveals its commitment to compete in upper-echelon racing series by 2025. The pricing for the GT350 starts at $100,000, with the racing-focused GT350R expected to exceed that figure. This announcement is a significant step for Shelby, as they aim to rejuvenate their performance line with a focus on power, heritage, and competitive spirit.
