The 2017 Shelby Super Snake widebody concept has
been revealed this week, both packing supercharged V8 power and eye-catching
bodywork.
Shelby has created a widebody concept which adds an array of
performance-oriented options including a more aggressive wheel and tyre package
– with 12.5-inch-wide Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rear (345) and 11-inch (305)
front tyres housing 20-inch rims.
Painted in Lightning Blue, the wide-bodied Shelby
Super Snake Mustang also features Shelby-spec track suspension, rear lower
control arms and a Brembo brake system with 16-inch front- and 14-inch rear
rotors, with six piston calipers at the front and four piston calipers at the
rear.
Under the bonnet is the same 5.0-litre supercharged
V8 found in other Super Snake derivatives, tuned to develop a whopping 750
horsepower. In the ‘regular’ Shelby Super Snake Mustang with the same
tune, 0-96 km/h takes just 3.5 seconds.
The Super Snake widebody is the first concept
introduced by Shelby American for over a decade, and has been primarily
developed to make the tuned Mustang more accomplished on the race track.
