Key Takeaways
- Shelby American’s new F-150 Super Snake boasts 810 horsepower.
- Only 600 units will be produced, each with a serialized number.

What Powers the F-150 Super Snake?
The F-150 Super Snake’s power comes from a Ford 5.0-liter Coyote V8 with a stage 2 supercharger bolted on top. This setup doubles the V8’s output from 400 to over 800 horsepower.
Previous versions of the Super Snake had to make do with “only” 775 horsepower. The new supercharger and other performance upgrades, including a high-flow air filter and Borla exhaust, contribute to the significant power boost.
How Does the Super Snake Handle?
The Las Vegas-based tuner doesn’t just equip an F-150 with double the power and let owners fend for themselves; the Super Snake has plenty of handling upgrades to tame all that supercharged venom.
These upgrades include KING adjustable coilovers, Baer drilled and slotted rotors, Shelby exclusive adjustable lowered suspension, rear performance traction bars, and Michelin Pilot Sport tires.
What Sets the Super Snake Apart Visually?
This being a Shelby truck, the F-150 is visually enhanced with a dual-intake ram-air hood, painted grille, a body kit with ground effects, racing stripes, body-color tonneau cover, and 22-inch wheels.
In case onlookers still can’t tell this F-150 is special, there are plenty of Shelby badges. The interior is equally unique with top-grain leather, featuring the Shelby name stitched into the seats.
How Much Does the Super Snake Cost?
Shelby offers the F-150 Super Snake for $140,795, including the F-150 Lariat. That price also includes a three-year/36,000-mile limited warranty.
While Ram has not released pricing for its Rumble Bee trucks, the supercharged SRT model will likely be at least $100,000. The Shelby Super Snake should be more expensive, but it will be rarer, and for buyers who value exclusivity, that could be worth the cost.
