We don't know how much you love reptiles or snakes for that matter, but Shelby American has just released info, specs and pictures for their new Super Snake. And boy, we swear there's venom running through its veins.
This goes for every Super Snake created by Shelby, which means the 2015 Super Snake makes no exception: it was gifted with an unmistakable aggressive stance, but honestly, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Let's start off with the exterior, since that's the thing you'll see first when the Super Snake blitzes by. On the outside, carbon fiber is king as all the components of the body kit use this material, including the front splitter, side skirts, the rear diffuser and even the hood and the mirror caps.
A five-oh vee-eight commands the troops from under the hood. The engine was fitted with a Ford Performance supercharger that takes power output on a hike to 650 horsepower. But hey, that's not enough for some, and we know it, you know it and Shelby knows it.
Therefore, meet the Kenne Bell or Whipple supercharger option that allows the powerplant to escalate bigger heights and reach the 750 horsepower mark. Besides these upgrades, the Super Snake in its most authoritative version hit the pinata hard and got differential and transmission cooling, a Katzkin interior package plus a roll cage with five-point harness.
Front wheels are watched by a set of Wilwood Brakes while the onlookers' ears will be traumatized thanks to a Borla exhaust. Also, you can't miss the 20-inch WELD Racing wheels along with the familiar stripes makeover.
You can have the 2015 Shelby Super Snake for $49,995, but that sticker does not include the Ford Mustang GT it is based on. Also, 300 units will be made this year, so time is not on your side.
