These legendary performance nameplates are finally being produced at the same time, so now is the time to compare them.
The 2019 Ford Mustang Shelby GT-350 and 2020 Toyota Supra both wear legendary model names with long lines of heritage, but they have not previously been in production simultaneously. Now that both appear in their makers' respective line-ups at the same time, we've compared their performances in our track tests and in hard driving on roads suited to revealing their characters. Read the full comparison test here.
The Ford Mustang Shelby GT-350 is all V-8 thunder and manual gear selection while the Supra boasts a sophisticated turbocharged inline-six and an automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
While the Mustang's styling leaves no doubt as to its heritage, the Supra explores new ground and winds up looking better from some angles than others.
The Shelby's 5.2-liter DOHC V-8 boasts 526 hp, but is tasked with moving 446 more pounds of coupe than is the Supra's engine.
Beastly as the Voodoo V-8 sounds, the GT-350 is surprisingly easy to drive quickly on a twisting mountain road.
As retro-looking inside as it is outside, the Ford's relatively spacious interior and trunk make it more useful than the two-seat Toyota.
Naturally aspirated and with a lofty redline at 8250 rpm, Ford's Voodoo V-8 needs revs to deliver the goods.
Lighter and nimbler, the Toyota Supra can run nose-to-tail with the Ford Mustang Shelby GT-350 despite claiming "only" 335-hp from its turbocharged inline six.
Turbo torque blasts the Toyota Supra to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds, besting the Ford Mustang Shelby GT-350 by 0.3 second.
Toyota co-developed the Supra with BMW's also-fresh Z4, and the cabin bears strong resemblance to the latest thinking from Munich.
The Toyota Supra's six-cylinder may make more power than Toyota claims, and delivers its full torque at only 1600 rpm.
