The original Shelby GT350 introduced in 1965 established Mustang’s performance credentials. The 2015 model features the most powerful naturally aspirated Ford production engine ever.
The new GT350 builds on Carroll Shelby’s original idea – transforming a great every-day car into a dominant road racer, by taking advantage of a significantly improved sixth-generation Mustang to create a truly special driving experience.
Ford engineers took an innovative approach with GT350 for 2015. Rather than develop individual systems to perform well independently, every component and shape is optimized to work in concert; balance is the key. While paying rigorous attention to detail, the team pushed the envelope with cutting-edge materials and technologies.
2015 GT350 horsepower exceeds 500 ponies
The Shelby GT350 Mustang is powered by a high-revving flat-plane crankshaft 5.2-liter V8 engine that will produce more than 500 horsepower – the most powerful naturally aspirated Ford production engine ever. Not as impressive as the next-generation 2020 GT500’s power, but that’s an obvious fact.
Advanced materials, MagneRide dampers, aggressive brakes and finely tuned aerodynamics push the performance of Mustang to previously unmatched levels. Somehow, the newer 2019 GT350 manages to get even faster lap times and improved performance.
Unfortunately, as many Mustang fans are aware, Ford decided to pull the plug on the GT350 with the last models rolling out in 2021.
