When Ford first dropped the seventh-generation S650 Mustang, we did get a brand new higher-performance variant with the Dark Horse. With 500 horsepower on faucet, it’s loads of energy for most folk on the market…nevertheless it’s no Shelby. Now, although, Shelby American has redressed that stability with a brand-new Super Snake. And as you’d count on, it’s a beast.
On the styling entrance, the primary new Shelby-fied Mustang will get a much more aggressive look and tons of carbon fiber. The Super Snake will get an aluminum vented hood with hood pins, carbon fiber hood extractors, and carbon fiber wide-body fenders. Out again, there’s additionally a ducktail spoiler and a carbon fiber rear decrease diffuser. Inside, Shelby suits particular seats, embroidered flooring mats, Super Snake door sill plates and a serialized sprint plaque and Cobra puddle lamps. Manual fashions get a Shelby shifter, whereas convertibles get a lightweight bar.
To create the 2024 Mustang Super Snake, Shelby took the usual 5.0-liter Coyote V8 and fitted a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger. That cranks the full output approach up from 480 horsepower to a minimum of 830 horsepower. To maintain all these horses in test, the Super Snake additionally has an “extreme” cooling system with a beefier radiator and warmth exchanger. This powerhouse additionally will get a Borla exhaust system, a specifically tuned suspension system, upgraded brake rotors and 20-inch solid magnesium wheels with performance-spec tires.
Clearly, simply rattling via the specs don’t do the Super Snake justice so far as its particular standing. Exclusivity will, nonetheless, and that’s why Shelby is limiting the first-year run to simply 250 models. Exact pricing just isn’t available but, however you possibly can wager it can carry a major premium on Ford’s personal top-end Mustangs just like the Dark Horse.
