Shelby American has revived the GT350 for model year 2025. As opposed to Ford's flat-plane V8 thriller from a few years back, the newcomer from Shelby American uses the cross-plane V8 of the GT.

Shelby American's new GT350 and GT350R celebrate 60 years of the original GT350R, which debuted on January 27, 1965, while jumpstarting a new Trans Am racing program.

Ford may no longer have the rights to build a GT350, but Shelby American has their own solution — with an 810-hp supercharged V-8.

The latest Ford Shelby GT350 packs up to 810 hp and a race car-derived GT350R version adds another 20 hp on top.

Buyers have a few powertrains to pick from. The standard GT350 makes 430 horsepower from a naturally aspirated version of the Coyote V-8. In addition, there’s the supercharged version with 810 horsepower. Finally, the GT350R increases the output to what Shelby lists as 830+ horsepower.

Shelby American pulled the wraps off two new GT350s today at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. One of them is for the street and the other’s for the track. There’s even a third in the works, a spec race car made for Trans Am competition.

The GT350 is once again a proper Shelby product for the model's 60th birthday, with almost 300 horsepower more than its predecessor.

Shelby American has unveiled the 2025 GT350 at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. Its introduction comes nearly 60 years after Carroll Shelby introduced the first one and it’s the most powerful GT350 in history.

Sixty years ago, the Shelby GT350 marked a new chapter in performance and motorsports history,” said Joe Conway, CEO of Shelby American. “It was Shelby’s first model based on the Ford Mustang, the perfect follow-up to the ground-breaking Shelby Cobra.
