Australia's first 2011 Shelby GT350 has arrived.

After many months of delays in the USA, the beautiful white beast is finally downunder. The new GT350 holds true to the spirit, passion and performance that made the original a true muscle car legend in 1965. Shelby features of the GT350 include the obvious body kit, stripes and unique Shelby Cragar 19" wheels. Behind that are features such as front and rear brake cooling ducts, serialised engine plate, adjustable camber/caster kit and much more.

Inside, the car is just as special, with a serialised plaque, A-pillar mounted gauges, unique premium leather interior with contrast stitching and red/white/blue seat inserts, Carroll Shelby signature embroidered headrests and floormats, and the ultra-special Carroll Shelby signed passenger airbag cover.

Our beauty is the top-of-the-line 'R' tuned model, pumping out 624hp (465kw) from the Shelby/Ford Racing Whipple supercharged 5.0L engine. Other options fitted include painted Guardsman Blue over-the-top and side stripes, premium exclusive interior, Shelby/Baer 6-piston rear brake calipers and Watts link rear suspension.

The new Shelby GT350 is available in several engine tunes, from a normally-aspirated 430hp (321kw) version through the 'standard' supercharged 525hp (391kw) version and the full-blown 'R' tune 624hp (465kw).

The GT350 is produced in extremely limited for each model year numbers to ensure its exclusivity, so contact Craig ASAP if you're interested in this modern classic.
