Ever since the Mustang kicked off in 1964 and received immediate fame for its timeless design and exceptional performance, the accountants at Ford saw its potential as a profitable mainstream car, whilst the engineers saw potential as a street-legal racer. Shelby Mustangs were one way to keep both parties satisfied in the tug-of-war. Unlike the regular, profit-oriented Mustangs, Shelby Mustangs were created for one purpose and one purpose only, to be quick. Ford produced the 3rd generation GT350 such as the one featured here from 2015 onwards. Unlike the GT500 that was designed mostly for straight-line speed, the GT350 is more track-focused, and its tuning and design have been engineered to do just that. This collector-owned example is a fine toy for daily or week-end use, and is reported to have no more than 104 miles on it and is up for sale in Colorado. Shelby Mustangs can also be considered shrewd investments.
Exterior and Interior
As mentioned, the GT350 is a track-focused machine that was built to compete with the Porsche 911 and BMW M4, which meant that aerodynamics was an important part of the design. The result came in the form of wider front fenders to accommodate a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires and a lower hood around the engine for improved downforce. The car also received six-piston Brembo brakes with semi-floating rotors and MagneRide damping. This 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 coupe wears its ever-so-famous white body paint with blue racing stripes and is the closest thing you will get to a brand new car. The black interior is swathed in Alcantara as well as a little bit of leather, in an effort to reduce weight, the GT350 received custom lightweight Recaro bucket seats. You get a rudimentary infotainment system but do not be put off, as the real entertainment will come when you put your foot down and allow that highly-strung engine to sing its song.
Engine
Instead of sticking to the traditional Coyote V8, Ford's engineers decided that the GT350 would reach its fullest potential if it were bestowed with a racing configurated flat-plane crankshaft for improved throttle response and more power at high revs. Thus, the GT350 received an aptly-named 5.2L Voodoo V8 that gives 526hp at 7,500rpm and can rev all the way to a screaming and very un-American-V8 like 8,250rpm. Drive goes to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission.
