Shelby Revealed the Ford F150 Super Snake

Shelby Automobiles’ Super Snake Ford F150 concept was revealed at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway this week, built as a pickup version of the GT500 Super Snake but with upgraded handling, styling and power, and destined to suit the 2003-2008 F150 models.

Bora and Baer were some of the suppliers involved in the project. The red 2007 F150 regular cab truck features custom hood and fascias, black Super Snake stripes and Alcoa Shelby wheels. Power comes from a 5.4-liter engine, tweaked to output 475 hp.

"Our team built this concept F150 Super Snake to see if the public is ready for another high performance Shelby truck,” said Amy Boylan, president of Shelby Autos. "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."

"We'll install the Super Snake package for the F150 at the Shelby Autos facility in Las Vegas,"
added Gary Davis, Shelby Autos vice president of production. "In order to maintain the high level of quality and performance demanded by real enthusiasts, we'll only build a few thousand per model year."

  • Whipple supercharger kit
  • Borla exhaust system
  • DJM suspension
  • 3.73:1 rear axle ratio
