The first Shelby GT350 has come a long way since it was first introduced in 1965. Some would refer to that time period as the “golden days”, but, who is to say that the days ahead aren’t golden as well? The all new Shelby GT350 is a mean machine, and just hearing that exhaust growl gets us excited.

The all-new 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 is galloping on a whole new level with the most powerful naturally aspirated engine to ever make its way out of Ford’s pearly gates. With a brand new powertrain ready to utilize over 500 horses in hanger, this all-American beast is ready to conquer roads near you.

Narrating this video is Eric Zinkosky, Vehicle Dynamics Supervisor and Suspension Technician Specialist. He tells us that Carroll Shelby was a part of the plan when creating this car. He may not have witnessed the finished product firsthand, but we can all guarantee that he would be extremely proud of the sixth-gen 2016 Shelby GT350 and GT350R Mustangs. Not everything has been released on the race-ready, yet street-legal Shelby GT350 as of now, but we know it’s going to be packed to the brim with goodies in regards to both cosmetic and performance-wise. The infamous Shelby racing stripes really demand attention on the aggressive S550 front end.

In the video description, the Shelby GT350 is said to be the “most balanced, nimble and exhilarating production Mustang yet.” Like Ford Racing, we have no doubts that this new Shelby is going to be legendary.
