About This Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R

2019 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R—this is the real “R”, not a standard GT350. Purpose-built for track dominance, the GT350R represents the most extreme, driver-focused iteration of Shelby’s modern Mustang. Power comes from Ford’s hand-assembled 5.2L flat-plane-crank “Voodoo” V8, paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission. With 526 horsepower sent to the rear wheels, the engine delivers a spine-tingling exhaust note and razor-sharp response that is entirely unique in the modern performance car world.

What sets the GT350R apart from the standard GT350 goes far beyond badging. R-specific upgrades include an additional engine oil cooler to maintain proper oil viscosity during sustained track use, as well as a stiffer, track-tuned MagneRide suspension system. These enhancements allow the GT350R to perform consistently at the limit under even the harshest driving conditions.

One of the most defining features of the GT350R is its set of 19-inch carbon fiber wheels at all four corners—an industry first at the time. Wrapped in Michelin tires developed specifically for this model, the carbon fiber wheels dramatically reduce unsprung and rotational mass, delivering sharper turn-in, improved braking, and faster lap times. Additional R-exclusive components include a carbon fiber front grille insert and an oversized rear wing that provides increased downforce compared to the standard GT350.

Finished in striking Race Red with black accents, the exterior perfectly reflects the car’s aggressive purpose. Inside, the cabin is trimmed in Ebony with red-accented Recaro racing seats, designed to hold the driver firmly in place during high-performance driving. An Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel places nearly all vehicle controls at your fingertips. While the GT350R was originally delivered without certain comfort features to save weight, this example is equipped with the optional $2,000 electronics package, adding SYNC infotainment, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, radio, and climate control.

With just 17,800 miles since new, this GT350R remains in exceptional condition, with many original protective coverings still in place on the floors and touchscreen. It is accompanied by an impressive collection of original accessories, including the window sticker, owner’s manual still in its factory wrapping, car cover, extra floor mats, and the highly collectible GT350 camshaft “trophy” display presented in its original collector case with accompanying Shelby literature.

Rare, visceral, and uncompromising, the 2019 Shelby GT350R stands as one of the most focused naturally aspirated performance cars ever produced. With ultra-low mileage and exceptional provenance, this example represents a truly special opportunity for the serious enthusiast or collector.
