Shelby American Introduces New GT350 And GT350R With Powerful V-8 Engines

Engine and Performance Features

The 2025 Shelby GT350 engine is an upgraded version of the Mustang's 5.0L V-8. In contrast, the previous GT350, produced until 2020, utilized a naturally aspirated 5.2L V-8 known as the Voodoo engine, which generated 526 horsepower. The new GT350 also features a revised suspension and a new exhaust system.

Shelby American will offer a version of the GT350 with 480 horsepower, which does not include the supercharger. Both manual and automatic transmission options are available for the GT350.

The GT350R is the track focused version with several upgrades like, an integrated roll cage, adjustable suspension and upgraded brakes. On the inside it features a carbon-fiber tub and optional racing seats. The GT350R will come with a six-speed manual transmission.

Only 36 units of the GT350R will be produced, reflecting the limited run from 1965. The vehicle will be available in white, with options for various stripes and graphics.

Production and Availability

Shelby American plans to produce 562 units of the GT350 for the 2025 model year, matching the number of units built in 1965. The starting price for the supercharged GT350 is set at $109,999. Production is expected to begin in the second quarter of this year, and Ford's powertrain warranty will apply, alongside a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty from Shelby American. Pricing for the GT350R has yet to be disclosed.
