A Bold New Future
In December 2009, Shelby Automobiles was renamed Shelby American to honor the 45th anniversary of the 427 Cobra and Shelby G.T.350. On January 18, 2010, the company unveiled the 2011 MY Shelby GT350.
Like the Super Snake, the Shelby GT350 is a post title program; a customer purchases a car from their local Ford Dealer, which is turned into a GT350 by the Shelby American Team. A limited number will be built in the 2011 model year at Shelby's Las Vegas facility for conversion.
Each GT350 will be clad in traditional white with Shelby Guardsman blue Le Mans stripes and feature the new Coyote 5.0 liter Ford V8 coupled to a 6 speed transmission and center exit exhaust. Blue Shelby GT350 valve covers and billet caps set off the supercharged engine. The Baer brake system features 6 piston kit in the front, as well as 14" ERADISPEED rotors in the rear with cooling ducts for all four corners.
The suspension was upgraded with new Ford Racing springs, struts, sway bars and adjustable caster/camber plates. The car also receives a new front fascia, tail light trim, front splitter, rear deck lid filler panel and rear fascia. Functional scoops are located on the side rockers and hood. GT350 badges on the outside and inside include a Shelby serial number. The A pillar carries a fuel pressure, oil pressure and boost gauge.
The company continues to work on new and exciting products to give enthusiasts the opportunity to lead the pack. The future continues to be bright at Shelby American. |
