In 2015, at the North American International Auto Show, Ford Performance unveiled the third-generation GT350R. Positioned to rival the Z28 Camaro and Porsche 911 GT3, this enhanced variant of the GT350 remained in production until 2020, when the final GT350Rs were made to commemorate the GT350’s 55th anniversary.
The 2020 GT350R continues the legacy with its track-focused performance, leveraging Ford’s modern expertise, particularly highlighted by the impressive Voodoo V8 engine. This 5.2L all-aluminum, double overhead cam powerplant delivers 526 HP and a distinctive exhaust note, thanks to its flat-plane crankshaft and high-revving capability up to 8,250 RPM.
Exclusively paired with Tremec’s 6-speed manual transmission, the GT350R emphasizes driver engagement, contributing to impressive acceleration times of 0-60 in 3.8 seconds.
Additionally, the 2020 model offered a Heritage Edition Package for both the Mustang Shelby GT350 and GT350R. This package pays homage to Carroll Shelby’s 1965 fastback coupe with Wimbledon White paint and Guardsman Blue racing stripes, celebrating the car’s timeless design and iconic GT350 branding.
