775 hp and a 0-100 time of about 3.5 seconds
More than enough power, a big blown V8 and plenty of room for all your junk. Admit it: you thought of the Audi RS 6, didn’t you? No, we have something for you that is faster and more practical. This is the new Shelby Super Snake, a heavily spiced up Ford F-150 pickup. The 0-96 time (60 mph) is 3.45 seconds. This makes it slightly faster than the Audi RS 6 with a (specified) 0-100 time of 3.6 seconds.
The heart of the Shelby Super Snake is the 5.0 V8 that is also in the Mustang. Shelby first registers the car and then builds a Whipple supercharger on it, which will have something to do with the homologation. The two nostrils on the hood help the engine breathe. In addition, they mount a body kit, 22-inch rims and sportier Fox dampers all around. Upgraded brakes help bring things to a halt again.
Inside the Shelby Super Snake
Shelby covers the interior with a carbon fiber package, various badging and seats with the logo in the headrest. In addition, they replace the pedals and the floor mats. The muscle car with a cargo box is available as a four-door (crew cab) or as a Super Snake Sport with two doors. Shelby builds 300 copies of both versions. Prices start at 85,000 euros for the complete car, including a three-year warranty.
Shelby is also not too modest about their not too modest pick-up: ‘These fast pick-ups steer and stop exceptionally well. The thunder and whine of the supercharged engine is a symphony of mechanical beauty. The styling is strong and handsome without being over the top. This is the purest incarnation of a 1960s muscle car in pickup form.”
