2016
Shelby F-150
Shelby’s
newest creation came to life in a collaboration with Tuscany Motor Co. Team. It
has that unique paint finish covering its body which makes is instantly
recognizable. The blue shade is complemented by the double white stripes found
on its entire length and by the decals added to the lower door side of the
doors.
Changes
also include the 18-inch custom Shelby wheels wrapped in next-gen BFGoodrich
All-Terrain KO2 tires, a custom-tuned performance suspension system made by
Shelby, Fox shocks and BDS Suspension. This allows the driver to further tweak
handling on different terrain and driving conditions.
It
wouldn’t be a proper Shelby vehicle without a power upgrade so since it has a
similar 5.0-litre V8 engine as the one in the new Mustang, it's bringing an optional
supercharger, including an oversized cold air intake, aluminum heat exchanger,
billet aluminum high flow throttle body, updated calibration and higher flowing
fuel injectors.
Modifications
don’t stop here as the pickup truck is also packing a Borla dual exhaust
system, custom-tuned and black-tipped, which is not only adding a few extra
horses to the equation, but it’s also providing a better sound. The total
output is now 700 HP (710 PS) compared to the stock Ford model's 395 HP (401
PS).
Shelby
American will offer 500 units of the 2016 F-150 through select Ford dealers,
with the normally aspirated, 395 HP Shelby F-150 starting at US$ 85,495, and the
700 HP supercharged version at US$ 98,995.
