2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350

The Shelby GT350 is back with a vengeance. There are no turbos under the hood. Instead it’s an all-new 5.2L naturally aspirated V8 with over 500 horsepower and over 400 lb-ft of torque (according to sources). Ford is drawing a direct connecting to the original GT350 from the 1960s.

The car is meant to be a “track killer”, so all components have been revised. Chassis and suspension has been updated. There are huge brakes all the way around for great stopping power and fade resistance. This GT350 has zero-lift aerodynamics that provides downforce at speed. Basically, it’s meant to go very fast around any racetrack you can put it on.

The question is: is this track killer also a Chevy Camaro Z/28 killer?

It will be available for sale sometime in 2015, but exact dates, pricing, and specifications are not released yet.

Join Nathan Adlen on this sneak peek of the 2016 Shelby GT350 from Los Angeles.
