2011 Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake

Performance tuner Shelby American has announced a new power upgrade package for the 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake.
Shelby worked together with Ford Racing to increase the power output to 800 bhp, which is a whopping 75 bhp more than the 2010 Super Snake. In addition, new anthracite wheels, white stripes and new side scoops were added to further set the 2011 Super Snake apart from previous generations. If 800 bhp is a bit too much for you, the Super Snake is also available in a 660 bhp and a 750 bhp version.

The price tag of the 800 bhp package hasn’t been announced yet, but the 750 hp package is $30,245 including installation but without car.

Please find the Press Release after the break for full package details and specs.
