The Shelby GT350, is more than just a quarter-mile monster. Yes, the 5.2-liter V-8 can hustle it down the straight at a brain-melting pace. It’s not the 526 hp, the 429 lb-ft of torque, or the 4.3-second zero-to-60-mph run that has us drooling; it’s that Ford has finally built a muscle car that can hold its own through corners

Hello Ford fans. The Ford GT350 has a phenomenal history that dates all the way back to 1965.
And it has been a leader in the sport muscle car market since it came out.
Today I'm going to be presenting to you the 2017 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350.
Let's take a closer look. My name is Christopher.
And we're right outside of Mike Knapp Ford in Welland, Ontario.
So the exterior of this 2017 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 comes in the lovely Avalanche Grey.
With the black over the top dual racing stripe throughout.
Gorgeous color. Doesn't show a lot of dirt.
Has this nice two side front fender vents.
Which gives it a nice sleek aerodynamic design.
So form follows function here with this nice aerodynamic design.
It includes a nice sculpted front fender and hood scoop here.
Nice unique aluminum hood with the over the top racing stripe.
You do see our Shelby Cobra GT350 badging right on the front grill there.
And we do have the nice unique splitter and rocker there to give it a nice aggressive look with your Shelby badging right throughout.
Also has an integrated diffuser.
The Shelby GT350 has the HID high intensity headlamps.
They clearly signal that this is a serious car when you're on the road.
And you also have the LED fog lights as well.
Again with that devotion to the performance that this car requires.
Okay so this one is sitting on the 19 inch carbon fire black painted wheels.
You do see the Brembo brakes.
It's a dual disc brake on the front and the back.
Giving you that stopping power that you need when you're going at the fast speeds.
It's also sitting on the Michelin Pirate Sport Cup 2 tires.
Great for the track and great for the road.
So let's take a look at the power plan of the GT350.
Because this is where the car really stands out from it's competitors.
It's going to come equipped with a 5.2 V8 engine with a flat plane crank.
That produces 526 horsepower of power and 429 pounds feet of torque.
Ford's most powerful naturally aspirated road going engine so far.
And it's Ford's highest revving producing V8 engine that they've ever produced.
So lots of power under the hood.
It's going to come with a 6 speed manual transmission.
As well the GT350 offers a race tuned magnetic suspension.
And handling that's perfect for the track or on the road.
Whatever you're doing and whatever your idea of fun is.
It also comes with the MagnaRide dampering system.
It monitors and adjusts itself thousands of times per second.
To help with the suspension as you're making turns and handling those different terrains.
The entire car was built and engineered so that the sway bars, springs and dampers.
All work together in one finely tuned system.
It's going to average about 14.5 liters for every 100 kilometers.
Combined between the city and highway based on the 2017 Canada ratings.
So let's take a look at the rear.
We do have this nice aggressive looking carbon fiber deck lid spoiler right on the back.
Our backup camera is right below and of course we do have the GT350 dodging.
It does come with the Mustang signature tri-tail lamp there.
Which is going to help with your braking signal and for your turning signal.
One of my favorite things about the rear is the quad exhaust down below.
So it has dual exhaust on each side.
And it also is going to use the active valve technology to maximize this vehicle's awesome power.
And give you a nice sound.
So let's unlock the Mustang GT350 and take a closer look at the interior.
On the key you do have your lock, unlock, trunk and panic button.
It does have the intelligent access system.
So I can access the car just with the keys in my pocket there.
So this GT350 does come with these gorgeous Wacaro cloth seats.
They do have the micro suede cloth sport inserts throughout.
So now we're on the inside of the GT350.
And you can see it does have this nice aluminum themed trim all throughout.
Gives it a nice unique look.
The Shelby badging is all throughout here.
On the wheel and right above your glove box there.
This specific one does have what's called a technology package.
And what that gives you is the SYNC 3 touchscreen.
Where I can do things like my climate, my phone, my nav and my radio controls right on the touchscreen.
I'm not going to get into detail about it.
Check out my other video if you want to learn more about the SYNC 3.
But that comes with the technology package.
As well as this dual zone climate control.
Also comes with the technology package.
Where you can have each side different temperatures.
And it's going to automatically adjust to get to those temperatures.
A really cool feature they did add the two extra gauges for your oil temperature.
And your oil pressure bar right on the front.
Gives it a nice sporty look.
Okay so let's take a look at this nice suede wrapped steering wheel.
The micro theme continues throughout.
Nice race inspired wheel.
Very easy to handle and is very tight when you're turning.
You do have your controls for your vehicle information system.
Where this customizable center lets you quickly access whatever you need to know about the vehicle.
Like your fuel mileage, your kilometers to empty or things like that.
It also features track apps which you can use on the track.
Which tells you things like your launch control, there's an acceleration timer.
And helps you really get into the vehicle performance.
Like the g-forces, your acceleration times, quarter mile times and braking times.
It also comes with a complete automatic countdown.
So if you want to calculate your 0-60 it will countdown it for you and time it for you.
Right with the track apps.
Which are all controlled right from the wheel.
You do have your cruise control and your cell phone controls.
As well as your radio controls.
One of my favorite features of the vehicle is there are a few different drive modes.
Depending on what you're feeling.
You can adjust the sound of the exhaust, the dampering settings and the steering wheel settings.
To really fit the type of drive that you're doing.
So there's a steering wheel feel.
You can go from normal to sport to comfort.
There's two different damper modes.
There's a normal and there's a sport mode.
And one of my favorite things down here.
Down below are these toggles.
And this is an awesome toggle here.
It's the different exhaust mode.
You can change it from your dual to quad exhaust.
And normal to sport mode using the toggle here.
And then we have the other toggles for our traction control and four way hazards.
And then our start button right below here.
It does come with the shaker upgraded audio sound system.
It sounds fantastic.
And you can plug into the USB or use the satellite radio.
So thank you very much for watching my video of the 2017 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350.
Don't forget my name is Christopher.
