13. Shelby GT350R
The Shelby GT350R is a pure sports car that delivers fantastic driving dynamics resulting in an exciting experience for the driver. It’s much closer to Porsche GT3 in terms of precision driving and cornering speeds than it is to humble Mustangs of yesteryears. This car is not only one of the fastest Mustangs ever, but it is also one of the best sports cars in recent years.
The main feature of this high-revving powerplant is the flat-plane crank technology, which allows the big V8 to scream to almost 9,000 rpm. It is the same technology that exotic manufacturers like Ferrari use, but this was the first time a muscle car had such an advanced engine. Ford’s investment into the Shelby GT350R really paid off since its performance is mind-boggling with a 3.9-second 0 to 60 mph time.
