This is the ’19 Shelby GT350 caught running the streets of Dearborn, Michigan.

Ford will update the GT350, following the facelifted ’18 Mustang line and the upcoming GT500. But this heavily camouflauged prototype was caught testing with the Porsche 911 GT3, suggesting a boost in performance abilities.

The GT350 already comes with a 5.2L V8 with 526hp, but Ford could upgrade that a bit. A six-speed manual is likely to remain the only transmission. Settings from the Track Package or GT350R may also make their way onto the standard car. New styling tweaks will also be part of the update.

Expect to see the ’19 GT350 next spring.

SEMA Show exhibitors can submit products for inclusion in the October issue of SEMA News until August 10.

SEMA’s editorial team is now accepting press releases for a New Products Showcase preview. The feature will appear in the October issue of SEMA News, giving buyers a first look at the products they will see at the 2017 SEMA Show. Participation is free for registered exhibitors and is an opportunity for pre-Show exposure to potential buyers.

Press releases should include at least 100 words about the product design, applications and features in addition to the exhibitor’s booth number and contact information. A high-resolution (300 dpi) image of the product is also mandatory. Products may be new or “featured”—that is, exhibitors’ best-selling or signature items that will be promoted at the Show.

Products will be featured on a first-come, first-served basis. Press Releases for consideration should be emailed to amandag@sema.org by August 10.
