Ford Teases Mustang GT 350
Today Ford released a teaser video for what appears to be the upcoming Mustang GT350 … at least that’s what we hope it’s for.
The motion picture, which is scarcely longer than a minute, shows very brief images of the car in question. It starts with what appears to be the hind quarters of a fastback 2015 Mustang. Then it goes to part of a suede-wrapped steering wheel, metallic pedal covers, an aggressive-looking wheel and later the tread of a super-slick tire. In between these black-and-white images are vignettes from several of the company’s executives including Jim Farley, Joe Hinrichs and the man at the top, Ford CEO Mark Fields.
Throughout this piece they talk about racing and performance, competition and technology. Interspersed are snippets from the company’s days at Le Mans, historical NASCAR footage, off-road b-roll and shots from rally races.

This is supposedly the first in a series of five teaser videos, and at the end it carries the date “11.17.14,” ostensibly the day this car will be announced. Observant folks will notice these numbers are presented in what appears to be the Shelby font. One of the closing shots appears to be the cam cover of a 5.0-liter V8 emblazoned with “Powered by Ford.”
Does this look like the preview of a new high-performance Mustang? Do you think the car in question is the oft-rumored GT 350 model? Check out the gallery below, watch the video and let us know in the comments.

That noise at the end of the video sounds like an engine idling. Do you hear flat-plane crankshaft in that ruckus? I can't tell ...
