New Shelby Mustang Makes ZR1X Look Like a Bargain

Shelby Super Snake-R: Powerful and Fast

Shelby American has introduced a new version of its legendary Mustang — the Shelby Super Snake-R. This car, based on the Mustang Dark Horse, received a powerful supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine that produces over 850 hp. Buyers can choose between a six-speed Tremec manual transmission or a ten-speed automatic.

The car received numerous upgrades, including carbon fiber body elements such as front fenders, a splitter, and a massive rear wing. Furthermore, Shelby engineers installed adjustable suspensions, reinforced the chassis, and improved the braking system.

Technical Features

The interior was also modified: seats are upholstered in leather with Alcantara inserts, serial plates and embroidered floor mats were added. Available body colors include Grabber Blue Metallic, Race Red, Oxford White, and others.

The price of the Shelby Super Snake-R starts at $225,995, making it one of the most expensive serial-production Mustangs. Despite this, the car offers a unique combination of power, design, and technology, making it a true legend among muscle cars.

Shelby American claims this is the best-handling car they have ever built. Considering all the updates and power, the Super Snake-R could become a new benchmark in the world of sports cars. It’s worth noting that even with the increased weight, it is significantly faster than the standard Dark Horse thanks to the more powerful engine and improved aerodynamics.
