Spied with less camo on its body last week, revealing its quad exhaust and hood-mounted air scoop, the 2015 Ford Mustang GT350 was spotted for the second time this month.
The good news is that the upcoming musclecar was caught on video while accelerating from an intersection somewhere in downtown Los Angeles, which means you’ll be able to hear that brilliant V8 engine roar. The bad news is that the clip is only 20 seconds long and will leave you craving for more action.

As we’ve previously reported, the 2015 Mustang GT350, which is set to replace the current Shelby GT500, is rumored to make its public debut at the 2014 New York Auto Show in April.

No word on performance figures yet, but the GT350’s tweaked 5.0-liter V8 should deliver more than 450 horses. Moreover, word on the street is the Mustang GT350 will have its engine compartment occupied by a 5.2-liter flat-plane-crank V8 engine responsible for producing a massive 526 horsepower and 429 lb-ft (580 Nm) of torque.

But that's not it. Ford will want to make this track beast as hardcore as possible, which means other goodies could be on the table. In fact, some rumors claim the model could be fitted with a 3.73 Torsen limited-slip differential and Ford's new MagneRide suspension system.

If that will be the case, expect the 'Stang on steroids to require a big financial effort on the behalf of those interested in buying one. For example ,we expect the Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang to cost anywhere around $50,000. However, there will also be a GT350R version fitted with carbon fiber wheels. For that one, potential buyers will have to dig deeper in their pockets, as the price tag could go easily over $60,000.

But hey, not many people get to drive a monster Mustang that sounds like you're about to find out in the video below.
