Shelby American's new GT350 and GT350R celebrate 60 years of the original GT350R, which debuted on January 27, 1965, while jumpstarting a new Trans Am racing program.

Shelby American has revived the GT350 for model year 2025. As opposed to Ford's flat-plane V8 thriller from a few years back, the newcomer from Shelby American uses the cross-plane V8 of the GT.

The latest Ford Shelby GT350 packs up to 810 hp and a race car-derived GT350R version adds another 20 hp on top.

The street legal 2025 Shelby GT350R has 830+ horsepower and will only be available with a six-speed manual transmission. As in 1965, the 36 Shelby GT350R model cars will be white with two optional painted stripes and graphics packages available; gold/silver/black representing the historic race package and blue/white Shelby heritage package.

Shelby American pulled the wraps off two new GT350s today at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. One of them is for the street and the other’s for the track. There’s even a third in the works, a spec race car made for Trans Am competition.

Buyers have a few powertrains to pick from. The standard GT350 makes 430 horsepower from a naturally aspirated version of the Coyote V-8. In addition, there’s the supercharged version with 810 horsepower. Finally, the GT350R increases the output to what Shelby lists as 830+ horsepower.

Ford may no longer have the rights to build a GT350, but Shelby American has their own solution — with an 810-hp supercharged V-8.

60 years after the first Shelby GT350 changed the face of fast Fords forever, Shelby American has brought the model back. A pair of new snakes, the Shelby GT350 and GT350R, promise more than 800 horsepower, with new suspension setups and tons of modifications.

Six decades after Carroll Shelby unveiled his first modified Mustang, the GT350, Shelby American is resurrecting the model. Though modern enthusiasts may most closely associate “GT350” with the 2015–2020 car and its flat-plane-crank,

The GT350 is once again a proper Shelby product for the model's 60th birthday, with almost 300 horsepower more than its predecessor.
