Expanding on its legacy rooted in road course racing and track-focused performance since 1965, Ford Performance engineers and designers integrated the latest advancements in tire, aerodynamics, and chassis technology into the 2019 Mustang Shelby GT350.
The Shelby GT350 continues to feature its exclusive high-revving 5.2-liter V8, maintaining its status as the most potent naturally aspirated Ford production engine and the only one of its kind in its segment, delivering an impressive 526 horsepower and 429 lb.-ft. of torque with a remarkable 8,250-rpm redline.
The standard MagneRide suspension has undergone recalibration, incorporating new springs and revised damping for even greater responsiveness. Drawing from Ford Performance’s rigorous track testing, the Shelby GT350’s electric power-assist three-mode electronic stability control settings have also seen enhancements.
Working together with Michelin, Ford ensured that the GT350 achieves superior grip. The addition of new Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, featuring a Shelby-specific tread pattern (295/35 front and 305/35 rear), wraps around newly designed 19-inch aluminum wheels. The reliable six-piston front and four-piston rear caliper Brembo brakes remain unchanged, and for 2019, an updated spoiler with an optional Gurney flap is introduced, contributing to improved aerodynamics.
