Springtime in Michigan: 2016 Ford Mustang GT350s, GT350Rs Come Out to Play
Here in Michigan, the first throes of spring are poking their way through the depressing gray cloak that covers the state during the winter. It got up to nearly 50 degrees the other day, which practically had locals jumping about in their swimsuits, but it prompted something altogether better, too: Ford apparently thinks the weather’s good enough for its high-performance Mustang Shelby GT350 and GT350R prototypes to begin frolicking about on summer tires. What does this mean for you? Well, unless you work for Ford, these likely are the first non-blue-and-white GT350s you’ve seen.
Like so many spring flowers, our spy photographer managed to capture a veritable rainbow coalition of multi-colored Shelby GT350s and GT350Rs out testing in the Detroit area. There’s a yellow-and-black GT350, a silver GT350R with black wheels and white stripes, as well as a dark-gray GT350R with black wheels.
Ford has yet to officially release the GT350’s full color palette, but a leaked order guide for the car indicates that the yellow pictured here will be an optional hue, while the normal color spread will include Competition Orange, Avalanche Gray, Shadow Black, Deep Impact Blue, Race Red, and Oxford White. A host of stripe packages will be available, too. We’ll know for sure what those rides look like soon—both the GT350 and the GT350R should be out by year’s end.
