A new snake is ready to hit the streets. At Barrett-Jackson's
Scottsdale auction, Shelby American introduced its 2017 50th
Anniversary Shelby Super Snake. It comes with as much as 750
horsepower. Only 500 examples of the new Super Snake will be
available globally, so if you want one, you better act quick. Each
car will honor the 50th anniversary of the original, which was
unveiled back in 1967. Based on the 2017 Mustang GT , Shelby
supercharges Fords 5.0-liter V8 to produce 670 horsepower (449
kilowatts), with an option to add 750 horsepower (559 kilowatts)
thanks to a more powerful Whipple or Kenne Bell supercharger. The
result is a car well worthy of the designation "Hellcat Killer."
From a standstill, it will hit 60 miles per hour (96 kilometers per
hour) in just 3.5 seconds, and blast down a quarter-mile drag strip
in 10.9 seconds. A Shelby cooling package assures things don't get
too hot under the hood, while new Ford Performance half shafts and
a one-piece drive shaft further adds to its performance
credentials. "We compared the groundbreaking 1967 and 2007 model
Super Snakes to other cars of their era when setting the
performance parameters for our anniversary model," said Shelby
American's new President Gary Patterson . "The new Super Snake
matches those cars competitive advantages. The newest Super Snake
is both extraordinarily fast and a thrill to drive. In a world
filled with sterile cars, its a throwback to a time when people
enjoyed driving." The exterior, though subtle, retains that iconic
Shelby style with upgrades like a new hood, rockers, spoilers,
splitters, grilles, fog lights, and rear tail panel and diffuser
assembly. All of the exterior bodywork was modeled digitally using
CAD, with nearly all Shelby-exclusive components developed and
tested alongside the manufacturers. The two seen here wear the
iconic Shelby blue and white motif. The interior also gets some
freshening up, including anniversary logos on the seats and floor
mats, special door sill plates, a new gauge cluster with exclusive
Shelby by Automaker wireless gauges, and an official Shelby Serial
number on a dash plaque.
Estimate: $100,000 - 110,000
