- Shelby American introduced a new F-150 Super Snake model with 810 horsepower.
- Only 600 units will be produced, each with a serial number.
- Prices start at $140,000.
Ram recently made the dream come true when it announced a trio of V8-powered Rumble B trucks, including a 777-horsepower supercharged SRT Halo model. Not to be outdone, the folks at Shelby American did some crazy performance work on their Ford F-150 Super Snake, so it now produces 810 hp. This sounds fun.
Shelby takes an F-150 Lariat SuperCrew 4×4 and turns it into a Super Snake. Power comes from a Ford 5.0-liter Coyote V8 topped with a Stage 2 supercharger. Other performance upgrades include a high-flow air filter, performance air intake, carbon fiber intake tube, aluminum heat exchanger and Borla exhaust. These upgrades doubled the V8’s output from 400 to more than 800 hp. Previous versions of the Super Snake had to make do with “only” 775 hp.

The Las Vegas-based tuner not only equips the F-150 with double the power and lets owners take care of their own protection; Supersnake has a lot of handling upgrades to control his supercharged venom. It includes King adjustable coilovers, bare drilled and slotted rotors, Shelby exclusive adjustable lower suspension, rear performance traction bar and Michelin Pilot Sport tires.
This being a Shelby truck, the F-150 has been visually enhanced with a dual-intake ram-air hood, painted grille, a body kit with ground effects, racing stripes, a body-color tonneau cover, and 22-inch wheels. If onlookers still can’t tell that this F-150 is special, it has a lot of Shelby badges.
Shelby offers 10 colors: Ruby Red, Antimatter Blue, Argon Blue, Agate Black, Avalanche Grey, Marsh Grey, Carbonized Gray Metallic, Star White Metallic, Iconic Silver, and Oxford White.
The interior is equally unique with top-grain leather, with the Shelby name stitched into the seats. Other special details include billet racing pedals, embroidered floor mats and carbon fiber trim. Each truck gets a Shelby Registry CSM serial number plaque in the cabin and under the hood. Only 600 Super Snake units are slated for production, priced at $140,795, including the F-150 Lariat. That price also includes a three-year/36,000-mile limited warranty.

Motor1’s Opinion: Ram has not released pricing for its Rumble B trucks, but the supercharged SRT model will likely cost at least $100,000. The Shelby Super Snake should be more expensive, but it will be rare, and for buyers who value exclusivity, it may be worth the cost.
