2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 gets a very reasonable sticker price
The Ford听听Company [NYSE:F] will have a new performance bargain on its hands if reports of the听鈥檚 pricing prove accurate. When it goes on sale next year, the latest Mustang variant, which made its debut a fortnight ago at the 2014 Los Angeles听听Show, will bring to the table a new 5.2-liter V-8 with a flat-plane crank, unique body modifications, magnetorheological suspension, a Torsen limited-slip differential, more than 500 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, plus much, much more鈥攊ncluding perhaps a very reasonable $52,995 price tag.
The pricing information was first reported by the website听, citing a Blue Oval source. The website also reports that the car鈥檚 Tech Package, which adds things like听听adjustable seats, premium audio and better infotainment options, will cost an additional $2,995.
But the story doesn鈥檛 end there. Ford is also expected to release a Track Package for the Mustang Shelby GT350 that will help fill the听听gap between the stock model and a听听rumored to be making its debut at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show in just over a month鈥檚 time.
This Mustang Shelby GT350R will be the true rival to Chevrolet鈥檚 Camaro Z/28 and will likely be priced closer to Chevy鈥檚 $75k starting听; expect the car to feature many premium options such as carbon ceramic brakes, uprated wheels and tires, and some serious weight-saving mods. 听
