THE LATEST SHEBLY GT350 AND 350R HAS ARRIVED - AND THEY'RE MOST EXCELLENT.
The Shelby GT350 has roared back onto the scene for 2025, a fitting celebration of its 60th anniversary and a triumphant nod to its motorsport heritage. Carroll Shelby’s original GT350, unveiled on January 27, 1965, transformed the Mustang from a stylish pony car into a bona fide track weapon, cementing its place in automotive history. Shelby American has embraced that same ethos for the 2025 GT350, creating a car that balances raw performance with refined street manners. Offered in both 353 kW and a jaw-dropping 596 kW configuration, the street versions feature a 5.0L V8 engine paired with a choice of manual or automatic transmissions, but that big power one, the most powerful to wear the Shebly badge to date, has a supercharger. Shelby American has fine-tuned the suspension, unleashed a more vocal exhaust, and enhanced aerodynamics to deliver a thrilling yet approachable driving experience. “Sixty years ago, the Shelby GT350 marked a new chapter in performance and motorsports history,” said Joe Conway, CEO of Shelby American. “It was Shelby's first model based on the Ford Mustang, the perfect follow-up to the ground-breaking Shelby Cobra. Shelby American poured its performance expertise into the 1965 Mustang, turning it into an iconic international sports car. We followed the same strategy for 2025 and collaborated with industry leaders to create this very special Shelby car.” For those lusting after a no-holds-barred track experience, and who have the budget, the 2025 Shelby GT350R takes the Pony car to the extreme limits necessary to make those BMW boys keep quiet at driver’s briefing.
