Since the 1960s, Shelby has been synonymous with exhilarating, limited-production performance cars. In 2006, Shelby returned to the Mustang scene, introducing the GT500 to Ford’s lineup the next year. Building on this, Shelby unveiled the upgraded GT500 Super Snake and the awe-inspiring Shelby 1000, known for its impressive power output.
Ford’s continuous innovation led to the sixth-generation Mustang (2015-2023), featuring an awaited independent rear suspension system, solidifying its status as a true sports car. Following tradition, further enhancements were made to the Mustang GT, resulting in the Ford Shelby Super Snake, elevating the GT500 to new heights.
The Shelby Super Snake made its return as the ultimate conclusion for the S550 platform, equipped with an 825 horsepower supercharged Ford 5.0L V8 for the 2023 model year. Now, one of them is available for the taking on Bring A Trailer.
This example comes finished in Rapid Red Metallic with black stripes over Ebony leather upholstery and is powered by a Whipple-supercharged 5.0-liter V8 linked with a ten-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential.
The car features Super-Snake specific styling elements and a host of performance upgrades, including a Shelby-tuned Borla exhaust system, Brembo brakes, and a Shelby Performance Track Handling Suspension. Additional amenities include heated and ventilated front seats, AutoMeter auxiliary instrumentation, SYNC 3 infotainment with navigation, a Bang & Olufsen audio system, and adaptive cruise control.
With just 490 miles on the odometer, this 2023 Super Snake promises enduring driving pleasure and excitement that Shelby cars only deliver!
