An allegedly official guide containing pricing information about the 2016 Shelby GT350 and GT350R has surfaced on the internet. That’s right, we don’t even know the final performance figures that these two track-inspired vehicles boast, but we’re about to learn how much they cost.
Thanks to the Mustang6g forums and one of their members, who purportedly got this document from a gentleman who placed a deposit on the highly anticipated model, we can now observe the available option packages and the price tags that these two cars will carry.
The base GT350 Fastback (900A) starts at $47,870 – without delivery. If the customer wants to add the letter “R” behind the GT350 badge for a track-ready version of the Shelby, it will cost an additional $13,500 (920A). That totals $61,370, and considering what the car will offer, it could be a decent deal.
Think about it, an aero kit that actually produces downforce, 19-inch carbon fiber rims, specifically tailored made Michelin tires, and a naturally aspirated, flat-crank, 5.2-litre V8, which is believed to produce over 500 BHP and 540 Newton/meters.
Furthermore, to improve the light-weight experience, the GT350R won’t carry around unnecessary stuff like a rear seat bench, exhaust resonators, the trunk floorboard, tire repair kit, rear-view camera, a stereo or an air conditioning system.
Of course, if the customer decides that the GT350R is better with a stereo and air conditioning, the $3,000 option can be chosen from the list and spoil everything the engineers have worked on.
Other option include a $6,500 track package for the tamed GT350 variant, which isn’t as lightweight and performance-oriented as the GT350R.
