The Mustang Shelby GT350 Is Coming Back With An NA V8 And A Manual: Report

When you thought the Mustang lineup couldn’t get any more complicated, Ford allegedly has plans to introduce yet another derivative. Following the arrival of the Dark Horse SC, the Blue Oval is reportedly preparing another high-performance version of its iconic pony car. This time, it's looking to revive the spirit of the Shelby GT350, a nameplate that disappeared when the previous-generation Mustang bowed out.

According to Ford Authority, insiders familiar with the matter say a new S650-generation Mustang flavor is in development as a spiritual successor to the S550-generation Shelby GT350. Rather than starting from scratch, Ford will reportedly use the Dark Horse SC as a starting point, giving the newcomer similarly aggressive widebody styling.

However, there's one major difference under the hood. While the Dark Horse SC packs a supercharged 5.2-liter V8, its less powerful sibling is said to keep things old-school with a naturally aspirated engine, just like the GT350 before it. Ford apparently hasn't settled on the displacement, but the report suggests it's considering either a 5.2-liter or 5.4-liter V8.

There's no word on official output figures, but the new Mustang should slot neatly between the regular Dark Horse and the Dark Horse SC. The former makes 500 horsepower and 418 pound-feet (567 Newton-meters) of torque, while the supercharged SC takes it further with 795 hp and 660 lb-ft (895 Nm).

There's clearly room between the two Dark Horse models for another 'Stang, and the report suggests the naturally aspirated V8 could deliver around 650 hp.
