Ford Likely Developing Replacement for Mustang Shelby GT350
Dealer documents indicate a new high-performance Mustang: the model may debut in late 2027 as a 2028 model year vehicle but will not bear the Shelby GT350 name.
The new Ford model is expected to slot into the lineup between the Mustang Dark Horse and Dark Horse SC. It is planned for limited production through the 2029 model year.
The vehicle may feature a naturally aspirated 5.2- or 5.4-liter V8 engine. A six-speed manual transmission will be available and could be the sole transmission option. Unlike the Dark Horse SC, the new model will be offered exclusively as a coupe.
Exact specifications have not been disclosed. Preliminary estimates suggest an output of around 600 horsepower. The price of the new model remains unknown. In the current lineup, there is a price gap between the Mustang Dark Horse Premium at $72,760 and the Mustang Dark Horse SC at $108,085, where the new model is expected to fit.
Ford is not using the Shelby brand for the S650-generation Mustang, and Shelby American is currently producing its own GT350. A Ford representative did not comment on speculation about future vehicles.
