Mustang Shelby GT350 says goodbye to the United States

The iconic Shelby GT350 variant of the Ford Mustang will be leaving the North American car market before the end of the year, Ford press service reports. The performance-packed GT350R will be going, too.

This leaves the 750-hp (559-kW) Shelby GT500 spec at the top of the lineup. The Mach 1 also stays, and it should sell well given that the model was closely based on the GT350.

Unlike the GT350, the Mach 1 will be available on other markets throughout the world, including Europe where Ford has already secured the necessary certificates for its five-liter V8.
