Recently, Ford announced that the Mustang Shelby GT350 was here to stay for the 2018 model year and beyond. That’s good news—even if we’re not sure when axing it ever became an option. A niche model though it may be, its artful presentation, explosive performance and driving-focused experience make it one of the most formidable sport coupes around.

The Mustang has already made a name for itself for its own marriage of technology and performance, but the Shelby GT350 and R models dial it up. It all starts with Ford’s most powerful naturally-aspirated production engine ever, a 5.2-liter Ti-VCT V8 with 526 hp and 429 lb-ft of torque that’s hand built. Augmenting the mill’s breath-stealing roar is a MagneRide Damping System, which adjusts performance to increase the thrills.

If an artful take to performance is your prerogative, you might want to look into ordering your own GT350. Contact our Ford dealership in Greenville, OH to explore these options, and model availability.
