Exterior and Interior
Dressed in black with black wheels, this 2017 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 is a treat for those who seek the dark side of life. The only splashes of color come from its red brake calipers, red brake lights, and the red R badging. Even the Shelby snake logo features a red surround. Meanwhile, with quad exhaust tips, an aggressive front splitter and a prominent rear spoiler, this is a car that commands attention wherever you take it. Inside, you’ll find a two-seat passenger cabin, as the rear seats have been removed in the pursuit of weight saving. Up front are two Recaro bucket seats, an analog instrument cluster, a sporty multifunction steering wheel, three pedals, and a red gear shift knob. Take a few moments to see that the rev counter’s redline starts above 8,000rpm. Then, gaze at the center console to discover dual-zone automatic climate control and a touchscreen infotainment system. In fact, were you to pop the trunk, you’ll see that it’s the same as a regular Mustang. This car doesn’t force too many compromises, after all.
