While the 2018 Ford Mustang is already a beauty, the Shelby 50th Anniversary Super Snake Mustang is next level. Coming with a choice of manual or automatic transmission, it puts 670 horsepower of American muscle onto pavement via a 5-liter Ford V8 with forced induction. If that’s not enough for you, an optional supercharger package (Whipple or Kenne Bell) brings the total horsepower to 750. Supercharged, the Super Snake will do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and run the 1/4 mile in 10.9 seconds.

Shelby American developed this limited anniversary edition with help from Ford Performance, Michelin, Borla Exhaust, and Wilwood Disc Brakes. The exterior of the Super Snake has new rockers, spoilers, splitters, grilles, rear diffuser, tail panel, and fog lights. Commemorative detailing and badges can be found throughout while a signed plaque under the hood from the build team brings the celebration together.

The Shelby 50th Anniversary Super Snake Mustang starts at $69,995 USD and offers current 2017 Mustang GT owners an opportunity to convert for $36,795 USD. 500 models will be made available for purchase.
