Ford let loose its new Shelby GT350 Mustang earlier today, but it did so with a set of CGIs; no worries because we now have a boatload of real life pictures and running footage.

The Blue Oval says it has engineered the new Shelby GT350 as a sharp track machine that is equally capable and user-friendly on the road.

You can read all the details in our previous post here, but highlights include a newly developed 5.2-liter naturally-aspirated, flat-plane crankshaft V8 producing more than 500-horses and a peak torque above 400 lb.-ft. coupled to a six-speed manual gearbox and a Torsen limited-slip differential.

It also gets a retuned suspension that features MagneRide, Ford’s first-ever application of continuously controlled MagneRide dampers, bigger brakes and a modified body.

The new Shelby GT350 will debut in the flesh at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
