FORD EXTENDS SHELBY GT350 AND GT350R MUSTANG AVAILABILITY TO 2018 MODEL YEAR

  • 2017 Shelby® GT350 and GT350R Mustang – the most track-ready, street legal Mustang ever produced – to continue as 2018 model year offerings
  • 2018 models available in three new exterior color choices – Orange Fury, Kona Blue and Lead Foot Gray
  • Iconic pony car to continue featuring powerful 5.2-liter V8 engine that produces 526 horsepower
DEARBORN, Mich., April 17, 2017 – In honor of National Mustang Day, Ford announces that the most track-capable, street legal Mustang ever built is back for another lap.

Ford Motor Company announces Shelby® GT350 and Shelby GT350R Mustang will continue for 2018, available in showrooms this fall. The new models will be unchanged from the 2017 versions, with the exception of three new exterior color choices, Orange Fury, Kona Blue and Lead Foot Gray.

Standard equipment carrying over to the 2018 Shelby GT350 and GT350R Mustang includes the incredible 5.2-liter V8 FPC engine which produces 526 horsepower and 429 lb.-ft. of torque, as well as engine oil, transmission and differential coolers to keep the car properly cooled while on the track. In addition, a no-compromise braking system with vented 15.5-inch two-piece front rotors and six-piston Brembo® calipers along with the MagneRide™ damping system round out the standard equipment to produce the most balanced Mustang ever.

An available Electronics Package for both models includes SYNC® 3, voice-activated navigation and nine-speaker audio system. An available Convenience Package for GT350 models replaces Recaro® manual seats with six-way power, heated and cooled sport seats with Miko® suede inserts for both driver and passenger.

So will those colors be in addition to the 2017 colors or will any be dropped? 3 different blues seems to be a lot for a limited car.

I'm guessing you're right.

Do we know if they are putting the refresh on the new GT350? Or will it look just like the 2017.

Hi everyone. I've been on the sidelines for a while now and am going to order a car a little later this year. Does anyone have some more insight into Leadfoot Gray? Is it the same as the non-metallic battleship gray on the F-150? Kind of similar to Lamborghini's Grigio Telesto.

EDIT: I was also really hoping for some kind of dark metallic green to pair with white stripes like the old Shelbys, but I suppose the color & trim team didn't feel it necessary. Which is a shame, because that would've been my top choice.

Lead foot Gray is a sweet color. If my RS wasn't Stealth Gray (also a great color), I would have seriously considered selling my Black 17 for an 18 in Lead foot.

Leather seats are back for the 2018. Wonder what the problem/production issue was?

Looks like it has some blue to it, would need to see it in person. I was gonna wait and factory order a GT350 in lead foot but didn't like what I saw initially. I'm happy with my AG.
