Shelby Gt350r

Ford has announced some good news for fans of the Shelby GT350 and GT350R Mustangs that weren’t able to get their hands on one yet. The car will carryover to 2018. For the new model year, the cars will get all the same specs and options, with the exception of some new paint colors.

You can posture all you want, but if you are a guy with kids in the market for a new car, and you bring up something with only two seats, your wife will probably say no.

Ford Performance was kind enough to invite me behind the wheel of the new Shelby GT350 and GT350R sports cars to see just what these tricked out Mustangs could do. I spent the day at the beautiful Road America circuit in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin – one of America’s greatest road courses, learning about Ford and Shelby heritage and engineering, as well as hands-on time on the track.

We’ve already heard the “normal” Shelby GT350 and what it sounds like when it revs that flat-plane crank V8 under its hood. It sounded very, very good. If the GT350 sounded awesome, the GT350R has to sound even better.
