Ford Mustang Shelby GT350
For those who want the classic screamer Mustang with Shelby heritage but with modern technology and unbelievable V8 performance, the new GT 350 R is a perfect choice. Even though Shelby used the Mustang GT as a basis, much of the car’s suspension, design, aero package, and engine was new. The most significant single difference was the fantastic Voodoo engine, which has a 5.2-liter displacement, 526 hp, and 429 lb.-ft of torque (via Motor Trend).
The main feature of this high-revving powerplant is flat plane crank technology, which allows the big V8 to scream to almost 9000 rpm. It is the same technology that exotic manufacturers like Ferrari use, and this is the first time a muscle car has such an advanced engine. Ford’s investment in Shelby GT 350 R paid off since the performance is mind-boggling, taking only 3.9 seconds for a 0 to 60 mph sprint. But the numbers don’t do justice to this car.
