For the 2017 model year, the Shelby 350GT Mustang will be available in three new colors. Ruby Red Metallic, Lightning Blue and Grabber Blue will join Race Red, Magnetic, Triple Yellow, Oxford White, Shadow Black and Avalanche Gray in the Mustang color lineup.

The Shelby GT350 Mustang has always been Ford’s most track-focused performance car. The star of the car is the 5.2-liter V8 engine, which pushes the horsepower over 500.

2017 is set to continue this trend of increasing the Mustang’s performance. Including the Track Package options as standard features expand the capabilities of the GT350 Mustang, further establishing its place as one of the best in the sportscar segment.
