Vehicle Description
The 2016 GT350R, like the original GT350R unleashed by Carroll
Shelby onto the racing world in 1965, is a hardcore and limited
production version of the base GT350. Ford produced 5,643 standard
GT350 units for for the 2016 production year, compared to only 526
GT350Rs, making them an instant collectible with enthusiasts and
collectors alike clamoring to get their hands on one. The 350R
features the same 5.2-liter "Voodoo" flat-plane crank V8 from the
GT350 producing 526 horsepower and 429 ft/lb of torque. Items such
as air conditioning, stereo, trunk floorboard, rear seats, and the
backup camera have been removed. The GT350R became the first
production vehicle to feature carbon-fiber wheels that each weigh
approximately 15 pounds less than the aluminum wheels on the
standard GT350. Overall, the GT350R is 130 lb (59 kg) lighter than
the GT350. A larger splitter and rear wing help improve downforce,
with the wing drawing the car's weight balance more rearwards. A
Torsen limited-slip differential with a 3:73 axle ratio helps
improve handling further.
Chassis "GR355" has traveled only 235 since it was delivered new at
Riverhead Ford Lincoln in Riverhead, NY. 1 of just 159 GT350Rs
optioned in Shadow Black with only 103 of those units having the
Black/Red stripe option. All featured the Ebony Recaro Cloth/Miko
Suede with Red Accent Interior unique to the GT350R. Only 16 Shadow
Black GT350Rs were built with the standard "920A" equipment group,
making it even more rare.

invoice and paperwork, maintenance folio, bumper QC sticker, Ford
FIA car cover order as well as the GT350 owner's kit and sales
