2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake revealed

Shelby American have taken the wraps off their Super Snake package for the 2013 Ford Mustang which is set to make its first public appearance at the Barrett-Jackson collector car auction in Las Vegas.

Power for the entry-level model comes from a supercharger 5.8-liter V8 engine with 662 horsepower, and if that’s not enough for you, Shelby is offering a Whipple or Kenne Bell supercharger that increases power output to a massive 850 horsepower.

The car features a fiberglass hood, 20-inch alloy wheels, sport-tuned suspension, Wilwood brakes, an upgraded cooling system and optional 13-inch wide rear tires.

Only 500 Shelby GT500 Super Snakes will roll off the assembly line with prices ranging between $29,000 (in the US) for the entry-level model to $40,000 for the high-performance variant.
