When you hear “Shelby,” you don’t think commuter car — you think legacy, track domination, and unapologetic performance. The 2017 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 isn’t just a car. It’s a driver’s machine — the kind that demands your attention, rewards skill, and refuses to be forgotten.
Now available at American Rev, this limited-production masterpiece brings a whole new level of American muscle to New Zealand. If you’re reading this, chances are you’re not looking for average — and this car is anything but that.
⚙️ The Voodoo Engine: A Different Breed of Power
Let’s talk about what sets the GT350 apart: the 5.2L flat-plane crank V8, codenamed “Voodoo.” This isn’t just a marketing gimmick. It’s one of the most exotic, high-revving V8s ever put into an American production car.
Unlike traditional cross-plane V8s, the flat-plane design offers:
- Faster revs (up to 8,250 RPM)
- Balanced firing order for a more linear powerband
- An unforgettable, exotic exhaust note
The result? 526 HP of naturally aspirated, razor-sharp power. No turbos. No superchargers. Just precision engineering and pure sound.
🏎 Built to Be Driven, Not Just Admired
Many cars look fast. The GT350 is fast. But what makes it truly rare is how refined and controllable that performance feels — even at the limit.
This car features:
- MagneRide™ adaptive dampers – adjust in milliseconds for road or track
- Brembo brakes – track-grade stopping power under heat
- Recaro racing seats – designed for G-forces, not just good looks
- Track Apps + real-time gauges – tools for serious drivers
- Tremec 6-speed manual – because true drivers row their own gears
What you’re getting here is more than a Mustang. It’s a car that was developed side-by-side with racing engineers. The GT350 feels at home in Hampton Downs as much as it does carving up Crown Range Road.
🎯 Limited Production = Long-Term Value
Ford didn’t flood the market with these. The GT350 was produced in limited numbers and is already sought after by collectors. Combine that rarity with one of the most unique V8s ever built, and you have a modern classic in the making.
This particular GT350 has just 21,000 km on the clock, has been fully serviced, and is ready to deliver a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
🇳🇿 Why It Matters in New Zealand
In a country where true muscle cars are few and far between — and even fewer with this level of spec — this GT350 is a standout. It’s not just a fast car. It’s a statement of individuality in a market flooded with generic European imports and silent EVs.
Owning a Shelby GT350 in NZ means:
- You drive what others dream about
- You own a car with real motorsport DNA
- You feel connected to the road like never before
