2020 Ford Shelby Super Snake to Deliver 825 Horses
By Dave Ashton
Over the past few months there has been a lot of excitement over the latest GT500 with its 760 horsepower. Not just the latest, but possibly the greatest GT500 with a 0-60 mph time of 3.3 seconds. Not too shabby for keeping up muscle car appearances, but the Shelby folk have a few other tricks up their sleeves, most noticeably at this years SEMA show with the appearance of the Shelby Super Snake and the very cool sounding Dragon Snake.
The Dragon Snake is largely a concept vehicle, but it’s the Super Snake that will hit production and have a whopping 825 horses at its disposal. The Super Snake will come in retro color packages which include Shadow Black with Green stripes and green interior accidents, Green Lime with Black stripes and Green interior accents and finally Twister Orange with Black stripes and Orange interior accents.
The base level Super Snake can be had with a 5L supercharged V8 producing 710HP with all the option of a supercharger upgrade bringing the power up to 825HP. There’s also lots of other performance upgrades which include a performance exhaust, Brembo brakes and a Ford Performance track handling package. There’s also the choice of a six speed manual or 10 speed automatic transmission.
The Super Snake conversion can be done on a Mustang GT and will cost $123,295 without a donor vehicle or $71,395 if you provide your own GT.
Only 30 of these color combos will be available in the US, with possibly a limited number being built by certain Shelby shops and distributors.
