2021 Shelby Super Snake Speedster slips in sight

High-performance vehicle maker Shelby American announced a line of new super-fast vehicles on Saturday Ford including the 2021 Speedster Super Snake Edition. This two-seater car offers extra style and plenty of performance.

The new Speedster is based on the Super Snake Coupe (itself based on the Mustang GT), a car that was inspired by an experimental vehicle built in 1967. Naturally, these two Mustangs share the same base hardware, meaning the Speedster comes with a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine topped off by a supercharger. Polished Whipple, a combination that delivers 825 horsepower when fed with 93 octane fuel. It’s a bit healthier than even the Shelby GT500’s 760 ponies, and it’s enough to get this car to 60 mph in as little as 3.5 seconds.

Helping this engine breathe and adding a bit of theatricality to start-up, it exhales through a Borla exhaust system. A manual or automatic transmission is offered, although the car can actually put that much power on the curb, these are high-performance axle shafts that shouldn’t knot when you stab the throttle. 20-inch forged aluminum wheels, Shelby-spec tires and Brembo brakes complete the Speedster’s most important hardware.

Optional on every Super Snake model, painted racing stripes (an interesting addition), a special widebody package, a Penske track suspension system and a rear seat removal with a harness bar. These goodies add an additional $ 4,995 to the car’s already staggering price tag.

Inside, the Super Snake Speedster includes Shelby-specific upgrades, such as new floor mats and sill trims, a unique gauge cluster, and a special convertible light bar. Only 98 Super Snake coupes will be built in 2021 to commemorate what would have been the 98th birthday of company founder Carroll Shelby (an odd milestone to celebrate, but whatever), however, the Speedster model is even rarer. Only 25 of these outdoor Mustangs will be offered in the United States. Of course, each will be included in the official Shelby registry.

As for pricing, the Super Snake package costs $ 79,995 if you feel like providing the donor’s car yourself. The all-inclusive price if Shelby gets hold of a new Mustang GT for you is $ 133,785. For added peace of mind, each of these Shelbys is backed by Ford’s standard three-year / 36,000-mile powertrain warranty, so you shouldn’t have to worry too much about which engine or transmission is going. ” Bang! ” in drag racing or by participating in an open track day. But even if something fails, it needs to be replaced under warranty.
