New Standard Features, Fresh Colors for 2017 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang



DEARBORN, Mich., April 6, 2016 – Ford Performance is adding more standard features to the new Shelby® GT350 Mustang on sale this June. These new offerings are the best of what customers have been asking for from the most track-capable, race-ready Mustang ever built.

Track Package is now standard on the Shelby GT350 Mustang for the 2017 model year, giving all customers the features they want along with the option to add even more – no longer do buyers have to choose between the Track Package and additional features.

“Ford Performance is always listening to customer feedback,” said Dave Pericak, global director, Ford Performance. “At the end of last year we started offering a back seat option for Shelby GT350R due to customer demand. Now, we have adjusted the packages available to continue to provide more of what customers want on the Shelby GT350 Mustang.”

The 2017 Shelby GT350 also brings three new colors and the choice of either an available Electronics Package or a Convenience Package.

New features for 2017 Shelby GT350 Mustang:
•Standard Track Package featuring aluminum tower-to-tower brace; high-downforce decklid spoiler; engine oil, transmission and differential coolers; MagneRide™ damping system
•Three new colors – Ruby Red Metallic, Lightning Blue and Grabber Blue – replace Deep Impact Blue and Competition Orange
•Two new available packages – Electronics Package includes SYNC® 3, voice-activated navigation and nine-speaker audio system; Convenience Package includes the same options, and replaces manual Recaro seats with leather-trimmed power sport seats
•Available audio system upgrade from seven to nine speakers with Electronics Package, Convenience Package and R-Electronics Package

Am I to understand that a large number of GT350R buyers were demanding a back seat?

The Rear Seat for the R was offered by Ford Racing before and Rs were even delivered.

My buddy with the GT350 is taking his rear seat out. LOL

Really like that red.

I wonder why does the back seat look so wrinkly? It seems that the workmanship on these cars are poor on the sewing of the materials when they put it together. I saw videos on youtube where various guys complain about the poor workmanship. Maybe some S550 owners here can chime in and take some pics of their interior.

that red is sinister!!
I'm happy they got rid of the orange. I wanted to like it, but I just can't.
