This 2017 Ford Shelby Super Snake widebody prototype is powered by
a supercharged 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine producing 750hp,
featuring a Shelby-Whipple supercharger and Borla cat-back dual
exhaust system, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. This
vehicle was hand-built by Shelby American in Las Vegas, NV,
utilizing a 2015 Mustang chassis as a development platform to
evaluate the performance potential of the sixth-generation Mustang
architecture. Particular emphasis was placed on the integration and
optimization of the model's independent rear suspension, marking
the first time such a system was employed on a production
Mustang-based Shelby vehicle. The chassis is equipped with a fully
adjustable Shelby track suspension system by Cortex, Shelby
American/Rogue Engineering tubular rear control arms, hardened
wheel studs, and upgraded spindles and hubs engineered to support
increased track width and performance demands. Braking capability
is provided by Shelby by Brembo braking components, including
red-painted calipers and grooved and vented rotors designed for
improved thermal management and stopping performance. The widebody
configuration incorporates newly designed front and rear body
panels that extend the front track width by 2.5 inches and the rear
track width by 4 inches, enabling fitment of wider wheels and
tires. Shelby American 20-inch Super Snake wheels are mounted with
Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires measuring 305 at the front and 345
at the rear. Exterior equipment includes carbon-fiber front and
rear spoilers, integrated aerodynamic components associated with
the Super Snake Package and carbon-fiber mirror covers. The
interior remains consistent with Super Snake specifications and
retains the standard configuration developed for the model. This
concept vehicle was unveiled at the 5th Annual Carroll Shelby
Tribute and Car Show on May 20, 2017. Identified by CSM No.
17SS0002C, it represents a one-off Shelby American prototype
developed to explore enhanced handling, braking and chassis
performance within the Super Snake program. This vehicle is offered
with its accompanying Shelby American sales contract, original Ford
Window Sticker and a custom car cover. CARFAX shows Ford Motor
