Shelby F-150 Super Snake: high performance and speed
According to
Motor Trend
, Shelby unveiled the Super Snake during the 2021 Monterey Car week. It was an answer to the enormous trucks offered by rivals like Hennessey (800 horsepower Goliath Silverado) and Saleen (700 horsepower Ford-150 sports truck). GM has also released the Ram TRX that offers 700 horsepower.While the Ram and Goliath run on a supercharged V8 engine with a displacement of 6.2 liters, Shelby has gone for a smaller V8 engine with a capacity of 5 liters.
The Shelby Super Snake delivers a whopping 775 horsepower. It is a higher performance model than the Shelby Raptor that runs on a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine with 525 horsepower.
Motor Trend
adds that the base Shelby truck offers 400 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque. However, the car tuner adds a Borla exhaust and performance air intake to enhance the engine's fuel efficiency.Shelby then adds a supercharger unit with high-flow fuel injectors, a larger billet throttle body, and a huge carbon-fiber air intake tube to make the supercharged model. We expect the Super Snake to come fitted with a 10-speed automatic transmission that powers all four wheels.

As explained earlier, Shelby has Super Snake and Sport trims. The Sport trim is based on the F-150 XLT 4x4 trim and has two doors. On the other hand, the Super Snake is a four-door truck based on the F-150 base trim.
The Super Snake Sport goes for $90,690. However, if you need the supercharged version, you will pay an extra $8,000. The Super Snake goes for $105,708 but goes up to $113,680 for the supercharged version.
