Shelby American has launched the 2024 Super Snake, an 830-horsepower Mustang based on the S650 Mustang platform. It features a supercharged V-8 engine, enhanced suspension, improved brakes, and more.

The 2024 Super Snake showcases significant enhancements to both performance and aesthetics. It rolls out with two engine options: a naturally aspirated 480 hp, 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 and a Whipple supercharged version delivering a staggering 830 hp.

No matter which you choose, Shelby has given the Super Snake a different suspension, Borla exhaust, stronger brakes, and better cooling. Go for the six-speed manual and you also get a short-throw shifter and a one-piece driveshaft.

In terms of design, the new model boasts upgrades such as 20-inch forged magnesium wheels which save 9 pounds (4 kg) per corner. Other stylish enhancements include an aluminum hood, carbon wide-body front fenders, along with unique rear wing options for different models—a big carbon rear wing for the fastback and a ducktail spoiler for the convertible.

Inside, the Super Snake is just as impressive with embroidered seats and floor mats, Cobra-themed puddle lamps, and other exclusive features like serialized dash plaques to mark its uniqueness. Shelby American ensures quality assurance through their own three-year or 36,000-mile warranty while keeping Ford's original powertrain warranty intact.

According to Joe Conway, CEO of Shelby American, “We designed the Shelby Super Snake to be the pinnacle of our performance cars based on Ford's world-class Mustang sports car. It follows Carroll Shelby's vision that each generation of car improves the breed. By collaborating with Ford Motor Company, Whipple and other top companies, our Las Vegas team created our best Shelby Super Snake yet.”

Production is set to start in mid-summer with an annual cap of just 250 units making this an exclusive offering.
