2018 Shelby GT350
Despite how impressive and popular the Ford Mustang
Shelby GT350 range has proven to be, there were always questions about how long
it would remain in production for. Well as it turns out, new examples will
continue to leave the factory for quite some time.
The Mustang6g forums have received confirmation that
the GT350 will survive through the 2018 model year and that it will go largely
unchanged albeit for a number of new color options including Kona Blue, Lead
Foot Gray and Orange Fury.
Information about the 2018 GT350 emerged after Ford
dealerships across the United States were notified that the program enrolment
for the model had opened and was required for any dealers to receive an
allocation.
The new model year GT350 won’t have any
significant changes, thanks primarily to
the naturally-aspirated 5.2-liter V8 engine and the flat-plane crank.
Horsepower will remain at 526 Hp and power will still be sent to the rear
wheels.
The model has enjoyed roaring
success without any true competitors. However, Chevrolet is hard at work
developing a new-age Camaro Z/28 set to take the fight directly to Shelby’s
creation.
