Shelby Super Snake Motor Trend

The Shelby Super Snake is one of the most iconic muscle cars of all time. With its powerful engine, sleek design, and legendary status, it’s no wonder the Super Snake continues to draw fans from all over the world. Motor Trend recently sat down with Craig Jackson, the CEO of Shelby American, to discuss the history, evolution, and future of the Shelby Super Snake.

When Carroll Shelby first introduced the Super Snake in 1967, he had no way of knowing just how popular his creation would become. The car featured a 427 cubic inch V8 engine with two four-barrel carburetors and produced an impressive 400 horsepower. Not only did this make it one of the fastest cars of its time, but also one of the most iconic. Through the years, the Super Snake has continued to evolve, and Shelby American has released several updated models over the years.

In recent years, Shelby American has taken the Super Snake to the next level by introducing a series of high-performance variants. The most recent model, the Shelby Super Snake Motor Trend Edition, is powered by a 5.0L V8 engine that produces an incredible 750 horsepower. This makes it one of the most powerful and capable muscle cars on the market today.

According to Jackson, the Super Snake Motor Trend Edition was designed with the performance enthusiast in mind. The car features a host of performance upgrades, including a Ford Performance supercharger, upgraded brakes, and an adjustable suspension system. It also comes with a variety of exterior and interior styling enhancements, including 20-inch wheels and a racing-inspired interior.

The Shelby Super Snake Motor Trend Edition is a true testament to the evolution of the legendary muscle car. From its humble beginnings as a powerful, lightweight sports car, the Super Snake has come a long way over the years. It has become an icon of American muscle, and its legacy will undoubtedly continue to live on for many years to come.
