New Shelby Super Snake Based On Ford S650 Mustang In Detail

Shelby American introduces the latest iteration of high-performance mastery with the 2024 Super Snake Coupe, based on the new S650-generation Ford Mustang. This model elevates the iconic Mustang lineage with substantial upgrades geared towards enhancing both performance and aesthetics. The 2024 Super Snake Coupe is available with two potent engine choices. The base model features a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Coyote V-8, which delivers a robust 480 horsepower. For those seeking extreme performance, Shelby offers a more powerful option: a Whipple supercharged version of the Coyote engine that produces an exhilarating 830 horsepower. Both engines promise to deliver thrilling acceleration and a dynamic driving experience. Shelby has meticulously reworked various aspects of the vehicle to optimize its performance. The suspension has been fine-tuned to provide sharper handling characteristics, essential for more precise cornering. A Borla exhaust system has been integrated to enhance airflow and provide a spine-tingling V-8 soundtrack. Additionally, the car features upgraded brakes for improved stopping power and a sophisticated cooling system to maintain optimal engine temperatures under harsh conditions. The coupe’s exterior is marked by its striking design elements that not only enhance its visual appeal but also contribute to its functional aerodynamics. It rides on 20-inch forged magnesium wheels, which reduce unsprung mass by approximately nine pounds per wheel, thereby improving handling responsiveness. The Super Snake Coupe also includes a custom aluminum hood, carbon fiber front fenders, and a suite of aerodynamic enhancements including a new front bumper, grille, side skirts, and a lower rear diffuser. It is distinguished by a prominent carbon rear wing that adds a dramatic flair and aids in downforce. Inside, the Super Snake Coupe’s cabin features distinctive Shelby touches. The seats and floor mats bear exclusive Shelby embroidery, adding to the car’s bespoke feel. Cobra-themed puddle lamps, Super Snake-branded door sill plates, and a serialized dashboard plaque further underscore the vehicle’s exclusivity. For manual transmission enthusiasts, the car offers a Shelby-branded shifter ball, providing a tactile delight with every gear change. Shelby American has not yet released pricing details for the 2024 Super Snake Coupe but has announced that production will commence in mid-summer. Only 250 units of this model will be produced for the year, making it a rare gem in the sports car world. Each coupe will come with a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty, with the original Ford powertrain warranty also in place, ensuring peace of mind for future owners. Enthusiasts interested in this high-performance coupe are advised to act swiftly to secure one of these limited-edition models.
