The Ford Mustang GT4 Is The Shelby GT350R's Angry Race Car Cousin
My, that’s an angry looking face, isn’t it? It belongs to the Mustang GT4, and if it could talk, it’d probably shout at you for making all those Mustang crowd jokes.
It’s based on the Shelby GT350R-C that’s been competing in the IMSA Sport Car series, itself based on the GT350R track weapon. In other words, it’s from jolly good stock.
There’s a 5.2-litre V8 under that long bonnet, hooked up to a Holinger six-speed sequential ‘box sending the power to the rearmost set of slick tyres.
It has a much more aggressive aero package than the C, and after a damn good fettle from Multimatic Motorsports, it’s now sporting new dampers plus beefier lower rear control arms and anti-roll bars. On the inside meanwhile, there’s a full FIA-spec rollcage.
It’s eligible for GT4 series worldwide, and is on display at this week’s SEMA show in Las Vegas.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Crowds at the races are a bigger target, though harder to hit

Angry crowd cousin
Seems like someone is trying to combat the Cayman GT4 Clubsport racer….

Some say it’s a fast crowd killer. All we know is it’s not the GT350R, it’s the GT350R’s racing cousin!!
It looks aaaaaangry.

Hitting the race crowd or a cornering mustang, don’t know what amazes me more.
Most likely they improved the handling by a small (If based on the GT350) or large margin (If based on a regular one)
