After presenting the Ford F150 Super Snake at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, American tuner Shleby Autos announced the package is available for those who want it. According to the tuner, the entire package (described below) can be fitted onto the truck, or just the styling or the power/handling upgrades.

Our team built this concept F150 Super Snake to see if the public is ready for another high performance Shelby truck. We took the same approach to this project as we do for every Shelby. With its ‘look at me’ styling, earth shattering power, stop-on-a-dime brakes and go cart-like handling, it’s a balanced performance truck that’s as desirable to drive as it is to look at.” Amy Boylan, Shelby Autos president said in a release.

The package is designed to go into and on the 2003-2008 Ford F150, equipped with the 5.4l engine. Shelby's engineers will make the unit develop 475 hp through the automatic transmission.

Below are the package's highlights:

  • Whipple supercharger kit
  • Borla exhaust system
  • DJM suspension
  • 3.73:1 rear axle ratio
  • Shelby-designed 22-inch wheels and tires with Pirelli P Scorpion tires
  • forged Shelby / Baer brakes with 6 piston calipers with cross drilled and vented rotors
  • custom front fascia, grill, carbon fiber splitter, fender vents and brake cooling ducts
  • custom front fascia, mesh grill and grill surround
  • custom side fender vents and rockers
  • unique fiberglass hood featuring a hood scoop and classic Shelby design
  • bed lid and rug with embroidered logos
  • Shelby signature Super Snake stripes
  • Shelby lettering across the rear tailgate
  • Super Snake” vehicle badges and official Shelby CSM interior plate
  • Shelby signature embroidered headrests, floor mats and leather interior

The kit will be installed by Shelby at the Las Vegas facility. Only a few models will be built each year, for yet undisclosed prices. More images in the gallery below.
