SALE SPECIAL! Please click here for price. If you’ve ever wanted to experience an amazing, limited-edition sports car equipped with an ultra-high-performance package, we have just the supercar ready for you. This spectacular Shelby comes from a long line of esteemed American sports cars going back to 1965 and is 1 of only 43 GT350Rs delivered in this color combination for 2017. As such a limited production car, Ford dealerships were allocated a very limited stock, thus creating an insatiable demand; so much so that these cars were offered at a premium that often exceeded the factory Monroney sticker. This ‘R’ iteration of the GT350 is a race-spec designated car that complies with racing competition rules, and as such is significantly more powerful than its 350 counterpart…

History

At the 2015 North American International Auto Show a more track-focused, hardcore and limited production version of the GT350 was unveiled called the GT350R, benchmarked against the Chevrolet Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3. The GT350R retains the GT350's 5.2-liter flat plane crank V8 engine, producing the same power, but grip was significantly increased by the means of wider Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, Carbon Revolution carbon fiber wheels (the first ever fitted to a mass-production road car) each weigh approximately 15 pounds less than the aluminum wheels on the GT350, and significantly more downforce thanks to a larger splitter and carbon-fiber rear wing to keep the car stuck to the ground. Items like the air conditioning, stereo, trunk floorboard, all the carpeting, the rear seats, and the backup camera could be removed from the factory resulting in the GT350R weighing 130 lb (59 kg) less than the GT350. The GT350R won Road & Track magazine's 2016 "Performance Car of the Year" (PCOTY) and Car and Driver magazine's "10 Best Cars" for 2016.
