Shelby American has unveiled its latest masterpiece, the 2024 Super Snake, based on the S650-generation Ford Mustang. This isn't just another high-performance Mustang; it's a limited-production powerhouse designed to push the boundaries of speed and style. With only 250 units planned for production, the Super Snake promises exclusivity matched with extreme performance.
At the heart of this beast lies a choice of two potent engines. The headline-grabber is the supercharged 5.0-liter Coyote V-8, tuned by Whipple to unleash a jaw-dropping 830 horsepower. This powerplant propels the Super Snake into a league of its own, exceeding even the mighty GT500 in sheer output. For those seeking a more balanced approach, there's also a naturally aspirated version of the Coyote V-8, still packing a healthy 480 horsepower.
Joe Conway, CEO of Shelby American, emphasized the company's commitment to Carroll Shelby's vision of continuous improvement with each new generation. This dedication is evident throughout the Super Snake's design and engineering, which showcases a blend of raw power and refined performance.
To harness this staggering power, Shelby has equipped the Super Snake with a purpose-built suspension setup, enhancing agility and responsiveness. Upgraded brakes and enhanced cooling ensure that the car can effectively manage the demands of its high-performance engine. The inclusion of a Borla exhaust system not only amplifies the engine's growl but also optimizes airflow.
The Super Snake isn't just about raw performance; it's also a visual spectacle. Every detail, from the lightweight forged magnesium wheels to the carbon fiber body components, is meticulously crafted to reduce weight and enhance aerodynamics. The aggressive wide-body kit, complete with a carbon rear wing (on the fastback variant), ensures that the Super Snake commands attention on the road or track.
Inside the cabin, Shelby's signature touches abound. Embroidered seats, Cobra-themed puddle lamps, and a serialized dash plaque underscore the exclusivity of the Super Snake. Opting for the manual transmission adds a Shelby-branded shifter ball, enhancing the tactile connection between driver and machine.
While pricing details are yet to be announced, Shelby American anticipates production to commence in mid-summer. Given the limited run of just 250 units, prospective buyers are advised to express their interest promptly. Each Super Snake comes backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty, providing peace of mind without compromising Ford's original powertrain warranty.
In summary, the 2024 Super Snake represents the pinnacle of Shelby American's craftsmanship and performance expertise. It's a bold statement that pays homage to its legendary namesake while pushing the boundaries of what a Mustang can achieve. For enthusiasts seeking the ultimate Mustang experience, the Super Snake promises to deliver adrenaline-inducing thrills with a touch of Shelby's iconic legacy.
