While generally speaking, most modern cars aren't able to capture the spirit of the Golden Age of muscle cars, every once in a while, we come across a late-model vehicle that stands apart from the crowd. This 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R is one of those cars. Covered in its original (and beautiful) Shadow Black paint with white (and red) racing stripes it comes equipped with a big carbon fiber rear wing and Shelby's front chin spoiler, side skirts, and rear valence. With just 12,969 actual miles, this car looks and drives almost as good as the day it rolled off the assembly line.
Inside, we find a well-appointed like-new stock interior. Recaro Suede Sport bucket seats hold both the driver and passenger comfortably in place, regardless of the number of G-forces at play. The rear seat has been deleted for added weight savings, while a three-spoke Alcantara-padded steering wheel features thumb controls and that unmistakable Cobra emblem center cap. This car is equipped with a Technology Package that includes features such as a Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert. A voice-activated touchscreen infotainment system operates a twelve-speaker Bang and Olufsen AM/FM/Bluetooth/Satellite sound system, complete with navigation and a backup camera. Carbon fiber trim and red accents are subtle reminders that this car is race-ready whenever you are.
Under that functional heat-extracting carbon-fiber hood, we find a 5.2-liter naturally-aspirated Voodoo V-8 engine. Utilizing a flat-plane crank that allows this big V-8 to rev to a spine-tingling 8,250 rpm, this monster motor pumps out an incredible 526 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and 429 pound-feet of torque at 4,750 rpm that gets sent out through a variable mode exhaust system that sounds unlike anything else out there. That massive power is routed through a Tremec six-speed manual transmission before heading out to a limited-slip differential, housing a 3.73 gearset that transfers power to the pavement via a set of optional 19-inch black painted carbon fiber wheels shod in track-ready Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires measuring 305/30ZR-19 up front and even wider 315/30ZR-19 in back.

Ready to race at a moment's notice, this 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R gets a beefier suspension over the base GT350, with stiffer springs and a magnetic dampening system to allow this car to carve corners harder than any car of the 1960s could have ever dreamed of. Capable of running from 0-60 mph in under four seconds thanks to launch control and line lock, this GT350R is one of just about 703 made for 2020, making it equal parts speed and scarce. Few cars can embody the true feeling of the original muscle car era, but this GT350R is as good a modern interpretation as it gets. Don't wait, call today!
