The 2016 Shelby GT350 won't be cheap. The current base GT, starting at $32,100, features a 5.0L V8 with 435 HP and 400 pounds of torque. While official numbers haven't been confirmed just yet, some folks over in LA said that the horsepower will be well over 500 and there will be about 30 more lb-ft.


What else to expect coming from the GT350? Well, as mentioned before, you will get a much beefier exhaust thanks to that 180 degree crank plane, compared to the current V8's 90 degree. This will help the Stang breathe a little bit easier with a small sacrifice in smoothness of the rumble. This V8 will also be getting a little thirstier, coming up at 5.2L.


If you plan on taking to the track, Ford has already upgraded the Brembo brakes on the car. With the track package to soon come with it, you can get an optional transmission and engine oil cooling system.

Here's a quick look at what the GT350 is capable of from a video shot earlier this year.
