The 2019 Shelby Mustang GT350 is a tremendously powerful sports car with over 500 horsepower and precision performance on the street or the track. Once you check out the exciting features and capabilities of the Mustang GT350, you’ll be sprinting to go take one for a test drive.
Power and Performance
Propelling the Mustang GT350 forward is a 5.2-liter flat-plane crank V-8 engine that generates 526 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque. It’s matched with a Tremec six-speed manual transmission, resulting in a blistering 3.5-seconds to reach 60 miles per hour and a top speed hovering just above the 200 mph mark. All this power is accentuated by the raucous roar of the GT350’s engine (code-named Voodoo) whether waiting idly at a traffic light or sprinting off the line.
All that raw power needs a suitably designed undercarriage to handle the breakneck acceleration and insane top-end. To this end, Ford developed a chassis that uses an aluminum shock-tower brace to decrease weight and provide stiffer support for the suspension. Ford also lowered the front grill area to maximize the aerodynamic flow of the car by utilizing a carbon-fiber composite that reduces the grille weight by 24 percent.
The suspension is custom in almost every piece, from the aluminum front knuckles to the use of diagonal links instead of a lower control arm to provide a virtual steering axis. The amount and depth of the individual enhancements to the suspension is too lengthy for this post, but the end result is tremendous grip through tight turns and a muting of external road imperfections felt inside.
Interior
To match the incredible power and performance of the Shelby GT350, Ford designed the interior to be minimalistic while still providing comfort and the latest in technological advances. The GT350 accommodates four passengers, and the seats are made from high-quality fabric with faux-suede trim. There is ample room inside with extra legroom up front for the driver and passenger. A dual-zone climate control system comes standard as does a flat-bottom steering wheel that maximizes visibility while turning.
The Shelby GT350’s blends a high-end, Harman Kardon 12-speaker audio with Ford’s Sync 3 infotainment system for the ultimate in multimedia entertainment. Sync 3 comes with an attractive and user-friendly interface with a full-color touch screen, voice recognition, quick response time, and compatibility with both Android and Apple systems.
A wide array of apps such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, and SiriusXM provide hours of entertainment, and important navigational software such as SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link and FordPass will pinpoint the GT350’s current location and navigate it to any destination that is reachable by road. In-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot access is available either through an AT&T backed plan or through syncing with another networked device.
With all this power, performance, and comfort, the 2019 Shelby Mustang GT350 is one of the premier sports cars available to the general public. Go take one for a test drive and see for yourself what all the hype is about.
