Upon first glance, most Mustang die-hards will immediately notice that the 2011 Shelby GT350 is painted to match its 1960s counterpart. The Shelby reboot features a white paint scheme, with blue racing stripes, thereby paying homage to Shelby’s original creation.

The 2011 Shelby GT350 also features package-specific front and rear fascias, unique taillight trim, and Shelby/Cragar 19” alloy wheels, encased inside a set of premium Goodyear performance tires. The reimagined Shelby features a custom hood, with a pronounced air scoop, which resides above the car’s supercharged powerplant. Also reflective of its lineage, the re-envisioned Shelby features signature “GT350” side striping.

While the 2011 Shelby GT350 was indeed striking in its appearance, the commemorative Shelby also carried plenty of bite to back up its bark. The GT350 was powered by a Whipple-supercharged, 32-valve 5.0L V8. This powerplant produced 535 horsepower and was capable of posting sub-4 second 0-60 MPH times.

If this, for whatever reason, left you feeling uninspired, then an optional R-tune package was also available that would quicken the pulse of even the most stoic of drivers. Equipped with this package, the GT350 produced 624 horsepower. Engines of either package were fitted with a serialized Shelby placard.
