Whether you like the facelifted 2018 Ford Mustang or
not, Shelby has made it infinitely more appealing with the launch of the latest
Super Snake variant.
Showcased here on video for the very first time, the
new Super Snake utilizes a 5.0-liter V8 engine completed by a massive
supercharger to lift grunt to 710 hp. If customers want even more go, an 800 hp
tune is available and can rocket the pony car to 96 km/h in a brisk
3.5 seconds. Beyond the addition of a blower, key engine modifications include
a bespoke radiator, heat exchanger and performance half shafts.
Any car with so much power requires an equal amount
of braking force. As such, Shelby has fitted a set of Brembo brakes with six-piston
calipers at the front and four-piston units at the rear. Visually, the 2018
Super Snake can be distinguished from typical Mustang models with a revised
front fascia that incorporates a custom grille, splitter, air intakes, and
hood. Additionally, the car includes flared wheel arches that engulf the set of
massive 20-inch forged wheels available in a black or bright metallic finish.
If customers so choose, the Mustang Super Snake can
be equipped with track suspension or without the wide bodykit. Prices start at US$ 113,445 with the Mustang donor car included.
