Shelby Reveals Track-Focused GT350/TA

Close on the heels of its Super Snake reveal, Shelby American has pulled the wraps off its newest Mustang-based creation, the GT350/TA. The track-focused package celebrates 60 years of the GT350 and combines Shelby’s 830-plus-horsepower supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 powerplant and many of the aluminum and carbon fiber body panels found on the brand’s standard GT350 with an integrated roll cage, Pro-System Alcon Trans Am Cup brake package, fully adjustable race struts and shocks, and unique wheels.

“1966 was a dominant year for Shelby American in motor racing,” said Joe Conway, CEO of Shelby American. “Shelby American helped Ford Motor Company win the FIA World Sportscar Championship, largely thanks to the legendary victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, along with SCCA B-production series with the Shelby GT350. Shelby’s efforts were vital in Ford’s overall Trans Am success, as the Mustangs’ points helped it win the first-ever Manufacturers’ Championship. We’re returning to those racing roots with this limited-edition car, which also portends many elements of our future Trans Am spec race car.”
