Essen Motor Show: Shelby Revives the F-150 Super Snake Sport: 810+ Horsepower and the Return of a Street Truck Legend

» The Return of the King
Shelby American is reintroducing the legendary F-150 Super Snake Sport, marking the return of a model that helped redefine the modern performance truck segment. Built on the Ford F-150 Lariat 4x4 platform, the new generation combines the practicality of a pickup with the performance characteristics of a high-powered sports car.
With an optional supercharger boosting output to more than 810 horsepower, the Super Snake Sport becomes one of the most extreme street-focused trucks ever produced by Shelby. Limited production and an unmistakable design ensure that the latest version remains as exclusive as it is powerful.
A Tribute to Carroll Shelby's Performance Legacy
The new Super Snake Sport reflects Carroll Shelby's long-standing passion for pushing performance boundaries. Throughout his career, Shelby championed high-performance road vehicles that challenged conventions, and two-door performance trucks were among his most memorable creations.
Following the success of the original Shelby Super Snake Sport introduced in 2020, Shelby paused production while awaiting the ideal platform for a next-generation model. The result is a significantly evolved truck that builds upon the reputation of its predecessor while delivering even greater capability.
Engineered for Performance
At the heart of the 2026 Shelby F-150 Super Snake Sport is Ford's proven 5.0-liter V8 engine. While the standard configuration produces 400 horsepower, Shelby's optional Stage 2 supercharger package elevates output to an astonishing 810+ horsepower.
Performance enhancements include:
- Shelby-engineered Stage 2 supercharger system
- High-performance air intake with carbon fiber intake tube
- Upgraded fuel injectors and cooling system
- Performance aluminum heat exchanger
- Ford Performance spark plugs
- Shelby-tuned Borla side-exit exhaust system
- Heavy-duty suspension package
- Adjustable KING coilover shocks
- Rear traction bars for improved stability
- Baer oversized drilled and slotted performance brake rotors
The combination of all-wheel drive, immense power, and race-inspired chassis tuning creates a truck capable of delivering exceptional acceleration while maintaining impressive composure through corners.
Aggressive Super Snake Styling
Shelby's designers gave the truck a distinctive appearance inspired by the iconic Super Snake Mustang. The exterior features an all-new performance-focused design package that enhances both aesthetics and aerodynamics.
Highlights include:
- Shelby-exclusive aluminum Ram Air hood
- Custom front bumper and grille treatment
- Functional front fender vents
- Painted aerodynamic ground effects
- Body-color fender flares
- Full-body Shelby rally stripes
- 22-inch Shelby alloy wheels
- New Michelin performance tires
- Shelby graphics and badging throughout
- Custom tonneau cover and premium BedRug liner
The result is a truck that looks every bit as aggressive as its performance figures suggest.
Premium Interior Exclusivity
Inside, the Super Snake Sport blends comfort with motorsport-inspired details. Shelby has outfitted the cabin with premium materials and exclusive appointments designed specifically for the limited-production model.
Key interior upgrades include:
- Shelby-designed top-grain leather seat covers
- Carbon fiber-style interior trim package
- Billet racing pedals
- Shelby embroidered floor mats
- Exclusive console and dashboard badging
- Serialized Shelby CSM plaque and engine bay identification
Each truck is individually documented in the official Shelby Registry, further enhancing its collectability.

The supercharged version carries a starting MSRP of $115,795, including the base Ford F-150. Shelby also includes a three-year/36,000-mile warranty, while Ford's factory powertrain warranty remains in effect.
