What Sets the GT350R Apart?

• Lightweight Carbon Fiber Wheels: Standard on the GT350R, these wheels reduce unsprung weight, improving both acceleration and handling.
• Rear Seat Delete: To save weight, Ford removed the rear seats, shaving off approximately 88 pounds.

Performance That Thrills

At the heart of the GT350R is its 5.2-liter flat-plane-crank V-8 engine, delivering an exhilarating 526 horsepower. The removal of exhaust resonators amplifies the engine’s already intoxicating roar, making every drive an auditory delight. While it may not match the brute force of a supercharged Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, the GT350R’s balanced performance and precise handling make it a far more rewarding drive on a road course.

The car’s Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires provide exceptional grip, allowing you to push the limits without fear of losing control. The brakes, now featuring smooth rotors instead of slotted ones, offer consistent stopping power with no fade, even under intense track conditions.

Track-Focused Design

The GT350R’s design is as aggressive as its performance. Red accents, pinstriping, and brake calipers give the car a distinctive look, while the interior features Recaro seats with red stitching for a sporty yet functional aesthetic. However, this car is not designed for comfort. The stiff ride and lack of rear seats make it less than ideal for daily commuting, but that’s not what the GT350R is about. It’s built for the track, and it excels in that environment.

The real question is how the GT350R stacks up against the supercharged GT500, a comparison we’ll explore in detail soon.
