It is always exciting to see how Shelby American brings its signature style and performance to
Ford
vehicles. Between Shelby F-150s
and Mustangs, the legendary manufacturer turns already impressive cars into something even more special. For the 2021 model year, Shelby unveiled the Mustang Super Snake, one of their most eye-catching designs yet.According to
Motor Authority
, the Ford Shelby Super Snake is a Mustang like no other. It may be based on a standard Mustang, but it transforms the already powerful Ford into something special. To make the Super Snake even more noteworthy, it was created to mark a special occasion.
Specs of the Mustang Super Snake
Striking visuals make the Ford Shelby Mustang Super Snake a contender for one of the
coolest Mustangs of all time
. Looking under the hood shows that the Super Snake is even more impressive than at first glance.The Super Snake is powered by a 5.0-liter supercharged V-8 engine that produces 825 horsepower. According to
Car and Driver
, this engine allows the Shelby Mustang to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds. With this level of horsepower, this sounds almost more like a supercar than a regular Mustang, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Other features of the Mustang Super Snake solidify it as a car that deserves to be on the track. It comes with 20-inch aluminum wheels and the Ford Performance Track Handling Pack suspension system.
Unique Shelby brakes and other features throughout the Mustang help with this performance as well.
Why is the Mustang Super Snake special?
With speed and performance that can thrive on the racetrack, the Mustang Super Snake is already a special car. However, it is also a commemorative vehicle and a tribute to Shelby’s history.
The 2021 model year of the Shelby Mustangs is special because they were made in honor of the late Carroll Shelby's 98th birthday. To mark this occasion, 98 units of these limited-run Shelbys are being produced. These are appropriately known as the "bundle of snakes" in reference to Shelby's iconic Cobra logo.
Shelby's Mustang Super Snake also serves as an homage to the company's history. In the 1960s, Shelby created an experimental car known as the GT500 Super Snake. Only one Super Snake was made, and it sold for $2.2 million in 2019.
Pricing and other Shelby Mustangs
Considering the limited supply and performance features of the Shelby Mustang Super Snake, a high price is expected. 2021 Super Snakes come with a price tag of $133,785, but Mustang GT owners may be able to trim some of that off.
If you have a Mustang GT from 2018 or newer, you can have it upgraded into a Super Snake for $79,995.
There are other Shelby Mustangs in the 2021 lineup for interested buyers, though. The Shelby GT is an upgraded Mustang GT that sports 480 horsepower. It comes with luxury Shelby features like leather seating and improved exhaust, and it is priced at $62,310.
