At the New York Auto Show, Shelby American will be showing of its most powerful Super Snake package for the GT-500 yet. With an astonishing 800 horsepower, Shelby says the 2012 Shelby GT500 Super Snake will be the most powerful American muscle car introduced at the show. This debut continues a tradition of Shelby introducing their cars in New York.
“Shelby American has a rich history at the New York International Auto Show,” said John Luft, president of Shelby American Inc. “The very first Shelby car was introduced there in 1962, as well as the 1968 and 2008 Shelby GT500KR and the 2006 Shelby Hertz GT-H. This year, we’re returning with one of the most powerful and important Shelbys ever built.”
Shelby American and its close partner Ford Racing have worked together hand in hand to offer this package which features an aggressive suspension and engine that pushes the GT500 up into the world class supercar realm. Shelby American says that production of the new 2012 Super Snakes starts May 1st of this year.
“With more horsepower, the 2012 Shelby GT500 Super Snake is a strong performer both on the road and the track,” noted Gary Patterson, vice president of operations at Shelby American. “This Super Snake will deliver the driving experience that enthusiasts expect from the Shelby brand.”
The new Super Snake post title package is one of the very few vehicles that generates up to 800 horsepower on pump gas. Not only is the high performance vehicle legal in 50 states, the unique, limited production supercar allows Shelby fans the opportunity to experience the power of one of America’s legendary muscle cars for under $100,000; this includes the Shelby Super Snake package and the GT500 base vehicle.
