2018 Ford Mustang Shelby Super Snake

Description

Get a good look, everyone, because this is currently the nastiest, fastest, most brutal modern Mustang you can own today. This 1-owner, special-ordered 2018 Ford Mustang Shelby Super Snake boasts $132K+ worth of upgrades on what was already a very fast car, all wrapped in the most brutal Shadow Black wrapper we've ever seen. The laundry list of Shelby Performance upgrades on this low-mile beauty make it a genuine 1-of-1 piece, putting it a notch above your garden variety GT500 loaded with SVT bolt-ons. As ferocious as a muscle car gets with 800+ horsepower at the ready, ask yourself if you've actually got the stones before you pick up the phone and call - because this Super Snake was built for a very special breed.

Unlike the GT500 on which it's based, this Super Snake eschews stripes and brightly colored flash for a more sinister, devious look. The upgrades to the bodywork are plentiful, including a purpose-built Shelby front fascia punctuated by an aggressive chin splitter, a blacked-out Shelby grille, a fully functional Shelby dual intake ram-air hood, carbon-fiber capped mirrors, and Shelby rocker panels at the low flanks. Out back, the party continues with slick rear spoiler, beefy diffuser with gaping exhaust pipes, and a slick tailpanel embossed with 'Shelby' script that lets every challenger know exactly what just flew by. There's no mistaking the 6th gen Mustang shape, but in this car's case, it's steroid-injected and powered up to 11. It's just beautifully built, as it had better be with that sticker price, and with only 2544 original miles, it remains in virtually factory-fresh condition. Shadow Black paint is the perfect choice for a car this violent on the eyes, and the miles-deep paint has been uniquely augmented with a set of Dark Blue Pearl racing 'Ghost' stripes that shoot down the center of the body and only become obvious in the right light. Add in the optional Super Snake lower door graphics and those iconic Super Snake emblems on the fenders and you've got an electrifying package of pure awesomeness. It's obviously been painstakingly maintained since it was taken to Shelby headquarters thanks to the aid from PPF which covers the entire car (windshield is also filmed), and all the special top-flight Shelby add-ons the original owner selected make it distinctive, even in a land of high-visibility Mustangs. It's never been wrecked, obviously, and if you've been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the next big thing, well, it's about to pass you going 180MPH.

In keeping with the 'murdered-out' theme (it's what people much cooler than you and I have dubbed the blacked-out treatment on a car), the black leather interior is also beautifully finished and nicely upgraded. Again, you won't find any SVT logos inside (a point of contention of the man that ordered this car – he wanted Shelby Performance parts only), just pure Super Snake greatness everywhere you look. The custom two-tone leather interior upgrade was selected on the options list, featuring beautifully stitched seats with soft inserts and special Super Snake embroidery work, a grippy leather steering wheel, plush carpets protected with Super Snake floor mats, and a carbon-fiber accented sporty dash. There's a big Super Snake 8-ball knob for the 6-speed manual transmission and the special Super Snake-spec digital gauges are joined by a trio of auxiliary dials neatly arranged on top of the center of the dash, just above a couple extra dials wedged between the center A/C vents. A touchscreen navigation system/back-up camera and AM/FM/CD/iPod stereo lives in the center of the dash above the fighter-jet style switchboard, and just about every feature you can imagine is standard equipment, ranging from A/C, to power everything, and enough airbags to rival a minivan. Illuminated sill plates and a Shelby CSM number dash plaque put an exclamation point on things, and much like the rest of the car, everything inside is showroom fresh.

The list of upgrades to the 5.0L V8 Coyote engine is extensive, long enough to add around another 100 ponies to the car's already astounding horsepower rating, for a total of approximately 800. Most of that comes from the Shelby Supercharger Package that boasts a big polished Whipple Supercharger, high-performance injectors, and a performance intake with an oversized intake tube, and billet throttle body. Of course, it also comes with an upgraded intercooler, bigger cams, special Shelby tuning, and other tricks. There are race-grade components throughout, including the Shelby Extreme Cooling System that sports trick aluminum coolant tanks and a giant radiator. Other upgrades include a beefier clutch, upgraded Brembo brakes, and custom suspension pieces via the Shelby Track Handling package that make this Snake road and track ready alike. Performance is other-worldly, because if you see a hole in traffic you can be there almost instantly, and there are surely few other cars on the planet that can match this car on the roll. Full boost is there before you can get your foot on the floor, but you need to be at the top of your game to get the most out of it. If you're a poser, you're going to get hurt, but learn to dance with it and the Super Snake will reward you with performance that'll tear your face off. A Shelby-tuned, variable dual exhaust consists of Borla's finest components and the whole show is capped off by a set of 20-inch forged aluminum black wheels carrying 275/35/20 front and 305/30/20 rear Michelin Pilot Sport performance radials.

Documented with loads of Shelby paperwork, maintenance records, factory buildsheet, window sticker, and original manuals, this is investment-grade Shelby is at the very top of the food chain. It even comes with a 75K mile warranty through June 2028. Call today!
