2011 Shelby GT350
.

The 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 has made it possible. This Camaro fighter, packing all the design revisions
and hardware upgrades of the 2010 model plus Ford's new 5.0-liter, DOHC, all-aluminum V-8, gave today's Shelby American (formerly Shelby Automobiles) the foundation it needed to reseed the icon. It's white-with-blue-stripes time, all over again.
The deal to do the car at all had been an on-and-off affair for years, then happened fast. Shelby didn't want to develop a GT350 based on existing 4.6-liter models, only to have to rework the engine package later for the impending 5.0. Everyone was on edge about the economy. And there were already plenty of specialty edition Mustangs on the 2008-09 roster, including the GT500KR and Bullitt. That air has cleared, the new powertrain has arrived, and the GT350 button was pushed late last fall.
Reinterpretation of the mid-'60s look was assigned to veteran automotive designer Larry Wood and in-house designer/development driver Vince Laviolette. Shelby American president Amy Boylan knew Wood from her tenure at Mattel, where he created numerous Hot Wheels models, including a pint-size GT350. "Amy called me," grins Wood, "and asked me if I'd like to try doing a full-size one this time."
