Shelby finally unveiled its latest Mustang-based Super Snake with up to 750 supercharged horsepower. This supercar looks impressive to say the least, and it will come in just 300 units. However, even though this car looks fantastic, the price is really high and it has really strong rivals. Because of that just a very few special customers will get to own this new – 2015 Shelby Super Snake.
2015 Shelby Super Snake Exterior Design
Exterior wise, the 2015 Shelby Super Snake comes with a fresh and modern look. It will have a narrow shark bite front fascia and slimmed-down headlights. In front is a carbon-fiber Super Snake hood, adorned with a forced-air scoop. It also comes with a new, black anodized material grille.
To improve aerodynamic, the company added a carbon-fiber splitter up front which is complemented by a larger carbon-fiber spoiler that is hanging off the trunk lid in the rear. The carbon-fiber is used in the new rear diffuser, taillight panel and rocker panels with side-skirt aero blades in front of the rear wheels. There are also Super Snake racing stripes and external badging.
