Here’s a tease – this is the sound of a Shelby GT500 replacement taking off from the light stop light.
Less than a week after a test model of the car was spotted by spy photographers, a video capturing the new Mustang GT350 or GT500 (depending on who you ask) has popped up on YouTube.

Ah, the good news for Mustang performance enthusiasts just keeps rolling in for the 2015 model.
Sure, just about all Mustang fans revel in the idea of performance on some level or they probably wouldn’t be driving one of the Ford pony cars – especially when it comes to the later models.

When it comes to the Ford Mustang, there is no name more synonymous with the brand and more iconic than Shelby.
For nearly 50 years, the Shelby name has defined the epitome of high-performance Mustangs from the early GT350s to the 200 mph, 662-horsepower Shelby GT500, which debuted prior to Mr. Shelby’s death in 2012.

Shelby America just announced that they will stop taking orders for the Shelby GT350 after December 31, 2013. “When we unveiled this latest version of the Shelby GT350, we promised it would be built for a limited time to preserve its collectability and value,” states John Luft, president of Shelby American. Production will continue on the Shelby GTS, GT500 Super Snake and Shelby 1000, Shelby Raptor truck and the Shelby Focus ST. And of course, there are surely plans for new models once the next generation Mustang debuts. Press release after the jump!

Last week we reported that Ford might be dropping the Shelby GT500 in favor of the SVT Cobra for the next generation Mustang, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the Shelby name will be disappearing from the Ford lineup. According to our sources inside Ford, the company will introduce a Shelby GT350 model for 2016, a year after the next generation Mustang is launched for 2015. The big news is that the car will be an official Ford factory model, similar to the current Shelby GT500, and unlike the current GT350 model that is only a post-title package available directly from Shelby. Details about the 2016 Shelby GT350 are understandably scarce at the moment, but we hear it will be more of a stripped-down performance car just like in 1965, and expect it to be more affordable than the current model, which starts at just over $58,000.
