2020 Shelby GT350R unveiled

Thanks to some chassis upgrades, the latest Shelby GT350R should deliver a better driving experience compared to its predecessor.

A major change sees this particular Mustang gain the GT500’s front suspension set-up. Furthermore, improved steering feel and response are promised because the electric power assistance has been recalibrated and there’s a new rack.

As before, the 2020 GT350R is powered by a 5.2 litre V8 engine that’s paired with a Tremec six-speed manual transmission. Peak output and torque are 526 bhp (392 kW / 533 PS) and 581 Nm (429 lb/ft) respectively.

The car’s standard equipment list includes 19” seven-spoke carbon fibre wheels, red Brembo brake calipers, MagneRide variable damping and a carbon fibre rear wing. Recaro front seats are fitted too, but to save weight the rear bench is deleted.

Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
