Luxury car dealer Clive Sutton is now offering UK enthusiasts a chance to experience true American muscle with the souped-up Shelby Super Snake Mustang. This beastly vehicle, based on the iconic Ford Mustang, boasts a roaring 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine cranking out a staggering 830hp – a rarity in the British market where muscle cars are scarce.
The heart of the Shelby Super Snake is its potent 5.0-litre V8 engine, familiar from the Ford Mustang GT but significantly enhanced with a formidable supercharger. This powerhouse ensures an exhilarating driving experience, complemented by the option of a manual gearbox for purists who crave the thrill of shifting gears themselves.
Performance isn’t limited to raw power alone; the Super Snake features upgraded suspension for enhanced agility, lower and stiffer to tackle corners with confidence. Paired with performance brakes, it promises not only blistering acceleration but also reliable stopping power. To keep weight in check, the car boasts an aluminium bonnet and extensive use of carbon fibre throughout its construction.
Visually, the Shelby Super Snake demands attention with its bold and aggressive styling cues. Massive carbon fibre bonnet vents cool the supercharged engine, while a substantial front splitter and Shelby-specific grille optimise airflow. Carbon fibre side skirts, wheel arch extensions, and 20-inch forged magnesium wheels further accentuate its road presence.
For those who prefer wind in their hair, the Super Snake is available as a convertible variant, sans the imposing rear wing present in the coupe version. Regardless of body style, both versions exude the unmistakable charm and charisma synonymous with American muscle cars.
Available now at Clive Sutton, the Shelby Super Snake can even be configured with right-hand drive for UK roads. However, indulging in this brash American muscle comes at a price, with the base model starting at 220,000 pounds – a testament to its unparalleled performance and exclusivity in the UK market.
