Hennessey Reveals Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 Revival Series

The Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 reappeared during the pony car’s S550 generation as a naturally-aspirated track-focused machine, just like the original. It quickly became a popular choice among folks that appreciate such a thing, but sadly, the GT350 disappeared from the lineup once again and didn’t return alongside the debut of the all-new S650 generation model, either. However, those that love the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 and want something a bit more, shall we say, potent, will soon be able to get precisely that from Hennessey Performance.

Hennessey was quick to offer its own upgraded version of the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 – a model dubbed the HPE850 – shortly after its debut, a car that coaxed 850 horsepower from the factory 5.2L V8 Voodoo engine thanks to the addition of a supercharger and various other upgrades. Hennessey then launched its own version of the 2024 Mustang Dark Horse – called the H850, which generates 850 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from its fortified fourth-gen 5.0L V8 Coyote engine. Now, Hennessey has revealed something new, but also old – the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 Revival Series.

The new GT350 Revival Series will reportedly be built in ultra-limited quantities and is based on the S550 GT350/GT350R, which features the H850 package itself. That package includes a supercharger and helps the Voodoo crank out 850 horsepower, but Hennessey didn’t reveal too many additional details about the resurrected machine. The example shown in this video is a 2020 GT350 Heritage Edition in Wimbledon White with Guardsman Blue stripes, and is one of 100 built by Hennessey over the years.

Now, those that missed out on the first run of Hennessey-modified Ford Mustang GT350 models will get a second chance to do so via the new Revival Series model, too. The company only plans to build 24 examples of this new model, however, and this example is number one – a fact it touts via door stickers, and making it quite special, we’d say.

Brett's lost track of all the Fords he's owned over the years and how much he's spent modifying them, but his current money pits include an S550 Mustang and 13th gen F-150.

  2. What a way to ruin such a beautiful car, and I’m not talking about the looks. The magic with the S550 GT350 is how well balanced it is and throwing gobs of power at the car doesn’t do anything for it, it’s like adding a set of 50-pound cans to a show girl. It looks impressive but the shift in Cg totally messes her up and leads to back problems down the road. This is only really for narcissists that either like to brag about how much HP their car has or so insecure in their manhood they need to engage in street racing in order to feel like they are succeeding at life.

    There is a reason the GT500 has a DCT (its not for “millisecond” shift times) and there is a reason you don’t see the S550 and S650 Mustangs with more than 500-530hp with a manual transmission and it’s not torque capacity (Ford could have easily engineered the car to accept a TR6060 trans). The ROI on adding power starts to diminish once the car starts to get beyond that 500-530hp and requires increasingly hard-core modifications in order to extend the performance envelop (like the sort of modifications that were required with the ZL1-1LE which by most accounts was a poor car outside of the track with more than one reviewer stating it wasn’t well suited for the street).
