The 2017 Shelby GT350, as Ford’s high-performance version of the sixth-generation Mustang, represents a significant leap from its iconic 1960s predecessor. It boasts a formidable 5.2L/526 HP “Voodoo” V-8 engine with a flat-plane crank, delivering exceptional power.
Performance across various metrics is remarkable, as highlighted by “Car and Driver”: acceleration from 0-60 MPH in 4.3 seconds, covering the quarter mile in 12.5 seconds at 117 MPH, achieving 0.98 g lateral acceleration, and braking from 70 MPH to a standstill in 152 feet. Additional GT350 features include a lightweight Tremec 3160 6-speed manual transmission, electric power steering with three driver-selectable modes, and robust brakes with Brembo calipers.
The interior offers supportive heated and cooled Ebony leather and suede Recaro seats, ensuring occupants remain secure. Technological advancements elevate the GT350’s sophistication, with features like Track Apps, dual-zone climate control, and voice-activated navigation. A distinctive Cobra-branded steering wheel, wrapped in Ebony leather and suede to match the interior, adds to the overall appeal, while amenities such as power windows and locks complete the package.
