It's already happening with the GT500, GT350, CobraJet, GT/CS, GT and base Mustang. Those monikers will be around through 2015 and some beyond that. The current unknown is the Mach 1, and Bullit resurrection since the body of the mustang will change to a new global platform in 2015.
The GT500 is a Ford Mustang tweaked by Ford SVT (formerly SVE and SVO), with some parts and technology from Shelby. The SVT Cobra may or may not appear in 2016.....all depending on the business relationship Ford and Shelby have at that time. The information I have comes directly from Jamal Hameedi (Ford SVT) and Bob Lane (Shelby America). The Shelby America and Ford relationship is very important to both companies. The information your stating about with the GT500, GT350, SVT Cobra and Cobra R are incorrect.
FYI:
There is no talks about a Cobra R at all either. The Cobra R had always been a very limited production ( 200 roughly) Mustang tweaked by SVT for the track. The Cobra R's were produced only in 1993, 1995, and 2000. The SVT Cobras produced between the respective R years were developed from the technology of those cars. The R cars were developed and pushed by John Colletti (retired) former chief engineer of Ford SVE and SVT.
FYI:
2010 through current production GT500 is manufactured in-house by Ford because Shelby America could not handle the demand in their facility..these cars are given the normal VIN and no CSM number from Shelby. The 2007-2009 GT500 were produced in- house by Shelby American and received a CSM number (same as GT350 and GTS).
