Whether you like the facelifted 2018 Ford Mustang or not, Shelby has made it infinitely more appealing with the launch of the latest Super Snake variant.
Showcased here on video for the very first time, the new Super Snake utilizes a 5.0-liter V8 engine completed by a massive supercharger to lift grunt to 710 hp. If customers want even more go, an 800 hp tune is available and can rocket the pony car to 96 km/h (60 mph) in a brisk 3.5 seconds. Beyond the addition of a blower, key engine modifications include a bespoke radiator, heat exchanger and performance half shafts.
Any car with so much power requires an equal amount of braking force. As such, Shelby has fitted a set of Brembo brakes with six-piston calipers at the front and four-piston units at the rear.
Visually, the 2018 Super Snake can be distinguished from typical Mustang models with a revised front fascia that incorporates a custom grille, splitter, air intakes, and hood. Additionally, the car includes flared wheel arches that engulf the set of massive 20-inch forged wheels available in a black or bright metallic finish.
If customers so choose, the Mustang Super Snake can be equipped with track suspension or without the wide bodykit. Prices start at $113,445 with the Mustang donor car included.
