The true reason it is not revealed yet... Ford still needs to sell the remaining 350’s. I talked to a sales manager I have become friends with at a local dealer near me. The 350’s have been harder and harder to sell in 2017 and the markup keeps going down and down, used to get 12k over now struggling to get 2 over msrp. The R is the only one getting mark ups and used to sell within a week and the last one they had for 5 months... us as clients are holding off for the next latest and greatest without even seeing real pics or stats of it. ( besides that little teaser vid) the car will hold off while the 350’s still have value to them. At Barrett Jackson scottsdle last week I went this past Saturday and there was bulllitt #1 and full display of the current 350’s NOTHING even at all of the 500.
It’s- A, buildup and B, need to sell the current Shelby produced.
You don't know how it works, neither does your friendly salesmanager.
Ford Motor Company doesn't withhold anything to sell current model year vehicles. Once cars arrive on lots, dealerships own them; they either floorplan them or pay them off. Ford is all about sales numbers, but they couldn't care less if the cars sit there a week or 10 months.
