Shelby GT350 Finds Top Speed on the Autobahn

At times, a powerful car can be a little bit of a tease. Sure, the short accelerations can be rather rewarding. After all, not many performance enthusiasts behind the wheel of a powerful sports car are going to turn down the opportunity to accelerate at full throttle down an entrance ramp to the highway. However, really stretching out the legs on some of these cars can get us in trouble. With posted speed limits that rarely see 70 MPH here in the United States, going much faster can get expensive.

It really leaves a lot of untapped potential on the table.

However, taking off to Germany has proven to provide an answer to this need for speed. This time, the subject in question is no other than a fan favorite from Ford in the Shelby GT350. This particular machine is one that Ford designed with the heart of a track racer in mind. The GT350 might just be the car of choice when one is looking to carve up a couple of turns. When introducing the machine to the likes of the Autobahn, though, things get a little bit of a twist thrown into the mix.

Back in the heyday of YouTube, things were a lot less complicated. We watched videos that were based on purely brutal accelerations and screaming exhausts. Things were simpler. With this one, we think that we get the essence of those simpler times as we feel the raw performance of the platform. It seems like such a simple concept when we really get down to the nuts and bolts of it all. However, there isn’t much more that a gearhead could ask for than a powerful car and no speed limit!

If this one doesn’t send a chill down your spine as a Supra fan, we’re not sure what will!
