Yahoo Autos Ford Cancels the Mustang Shelby GT350 for 2021
With the arrival of the track-optimized Mustang Mach 1 and the 760-horsepower Mustang Shelby GT500, the top end of the Mustang lineup was getting a little crowded. It always seemed unconventional for Ford to offer two $70,000 ultra-performance Mustangs in the GT350 and GT500. That problem, if you can call it that, has been solved: The Shelby GT350 and GT350R will be discontinued for 2021.
This isn't particularly surprising. Aside from the obvious benefits of simplifying the lineup to focus on the more high-profile Shelby, there was a document leaked this spring that suggested the imminent demise of the GT350 and GT350R. The Mach 1 has most of the GT350's performance upgrades, and the GT500 goes even further. If you're thinking like an automaker product planner, the GT350 had become redundant.
