(from Shelby Press
Release) SHELBY AUTOS UNVEILS FORD F150 SUPER SNAKE CONCEPT AT
LVMS
LAS VEGAS – Nov. 3, 2009 – Shelby Automobiles, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc., (CSBI.PK) unveiled
a Super Snake Ford F150 concept today at the Las Vegas Motor
Speedway. Based on the popular Shelby GT500 Super Snake, the
post-title package for the 2003-2008 F150 upgrades the truck’s
handling, styling and power.
“Carroll Shelby pioneered the muscle truck segment over 20 years
ago,” stated Amy Boylan, president of Shelby Autos. “Our team built
this concept F150 Super Snake to see if the public is ready for
another high performance Shelby truck. We took the same approach to
this project as we do for every Shelby. With its ‘look at me’
styling, earth shattering power, stop-on-a-dime brakes and go
cart-like handling, it’s a balanced performance truck that’s as
desirable to drive as it is to look at.”
Shelby Autos teamed with Ford Racing and top suppliers such as Borla
and Baer to develop the concept. The red 2007 F150 regular cab truck
features a custom functional hood and fascias, black Super Snake
stripes and Alcoa Shelby wheels. The 5.4L engine was tweaked to
churn out 475 horsepower through the automatic transmission while 6
piston Shelby brakes were added to stop the beast. The suspension
was lowered 3 inches and tightened up to improve handling.
Enthusiasts can choose to have the entire package applied to their
truck for the ultimate Shelby. However, the styling and the
power/handling upgrades can also be installed individually.
“We’ll install the Super Snake package for the F150 at the Shelby
Autos facility in Las Vegas,” added Gary Davis, Shelby Autos vice
president of production. “In order to maintain the high level of
quality and performance demanded by real enthusiasts, we’ll only
build a few thousand per model year.”
The Ford F150 Super Snake post title package includes:
