The Shelby GT350R Returns with 830 HP

Shelby has officially unveiled the 2025 Shelby GT350R concept, a high-performance, street-legal sports car designed for track enthusiasts. Introduced at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, the GT350R is a modern tribute to its legendary predecessor from 1965. Limited to just 36 units, the GT350R packs over 830 hp, a six-speed manual transmission and cutting-edge performance upgrades.

While the standard Shelby GT350 delivers an impressive 810 hp in its supercharged variant, the GT350R elevates the experience with exclusive features inspired by Shelby’s racing heritage. Its lightweight design incorporates a carbon fiber interior tub, optional racing seats and an integrated roll cage. Shelby worked with Turn Key Automotive/Motorsports to develop a Trans Am-spec carbon fiber aero package, adjustable race struts, ProSystems Alcon racing brakes and enhanced chassis dynamics.

“Just as Carroll Shelby envisioned in 1965, the Shelby GT350R was built for the serious weekend track warrior,” said Vince LaViolette, Vice President of Operations at Shelby American.

Available exclusively in white with optional historic racing-inspired stripes, the GT350R pays homage to the original competition models. Its production will begin in mid-2025 and each car will be documented in the official Shelby Registry. Pricing for the GT350R is expected to be announced soon. In a nod to its roots, Shelby also plans to return to Trans Am racing in 2026 with a dedicated competition-spec model developed alongside Turn Key Automotive/Motorsports.
