The Gen 4 Ford Coyote 5.0-liter V8, paired with a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger, forms the heart of the 2026 Shelby Super Snake R—a powerhouse delivering over 850 horsepower with thrilling precision. This dynamic pairing represents the pinnacle of modern performance engineering, seamlessly merging Ford's proven Coyote platform with Whipple's cutting-edge forced induction technology. Whether paired with the Tremec TR-3160 manual six-speed or the 10-speed automatic transmission, the supercharged Coyote delivers consistent, dependable power.
Every press of the throttle unleashes an exhilarating surge of acceleration, effortlessly propelling the Super Snake R into elite performance territory. Yet, this setup isn't just about brute force—it's engineered for reliability and drivability, making it as comfortable on the street as it is dominant on the track. Supported by Shelby's extreme cooling system, performance half shafts, and a Borla cat-back exhaust, the engine remains cool and composed under pressure. The result is a visceral driving experience where raw power meets refined control.
The 2026 Shelby Super Snake-R commands attention with styling that's as aggressive as its performance. Its widebody architecture is sculpted from metallic rear body panels and carbon fiber front fenders, giving the car a muscular, planted stance that's unmistakably Shelby. Carbon fiber components — including the hood vents, front splitter, rocker wickers, rear wing, and lower diffuser — are strategically integrated to reduce weight and enhance aerodynamics. The front fascia and bumper are designed for optimal airflow and visual impact, while deep tinted windows and Super Snake-R stripes and badges complete the track-inspired aesthetic. Every detail serves a purpose, blending form and function into a cohesive, race-ready silhouette.
At the rear, the widebody design truly comes to life. The flared fenders accommodate massive tires mounted on 20"x13" magnesium alloy wheels, dramatically increasing the contact patch for improved traction and handling. This aggressive rear stance not only helps plant the car's 850+ horsepower to the pavement but also enhances stability during high-speed cornering. Combined with a carbon rear diffuser, a rear ducktail spoiler, and a Super Snake-R specific pedestal wing, the rear styling delivers both aerodynamic efficiency and visual dominance.
Introducing the 2026 Shelby Super Snake-R — a bold, track-focused evolution of the iconic Super Snake legacy. Built on the Ford Mustang Dark Horse platform, this limited-edition widebody sports car unleashes over 850 horsepower from a supercharged 5.0L V8 engine, paired with either a Tremec TR-3160 manual 6-speed or a 10-speed automatic transmission. Designed for serious performance enthusiasts, the Super Snake R features a fully adjustable coil-over suspension, metal spherical bearings, and a rear harness strut bar that delivers unmatched handling precision. Its aggressive stance is enhanced by metallic widebody fenders, massive tires, and a suite of carbon fiber body components including a large front lower splitter, rear pedestal wing, and lower rear diffuser. Shelby American's engineering team focused obsessively on balanced performance, integrating lightweight magnesium alloy wheels and proprietary carbon fiber elements. The result is a car that's not only blisteringly fast but also remarkably poised and customizable for track conditions. Inside, the Shelby-spec interior includes rear seat delete, serialized plaques, and refined finishes. Every detail reflects Shelby's commitment to performance, heritage, and craftsmanship.
This is the third Shelby vehicle model built on the new S650 Mustang platform and the most aggressive Super Snake ever offered. Starting at $224,995 (including the base 600A Darkhorse Mustang), the Super Snake-R is available through authorized Shelby distributors in the U.S. and select international locations. Each car is documented in the official Shelby Registry and includes a 3-year/36,000-mile limited warranty. Whether you're chasing lap times or making a statement on the street, the 2026 Shelby Super Snake-R is your ticket to track domination and everyday drivability — a true fusion of raw power and refined engineering.
The interior of the 2026 Shelby Super Snake-R is a bold reflection of its track-focused engineering, blending high-performance functionality with refined craftsmanship. Designed to complement the car's aggressive exterior and race-ready suspension, the cabin features a Shelby-specific interior upgrade that includes full leather seat recovers embroidered with the Super Snake-R insignia, offering both comfort and visual impact. Alcantara inserts add grip and confidence, helping drivers stay planted during "spirited driving."
The serialized dash and engine plaques reinforce the exclusivity of this limited-edition model, while the billet shifter ball (manual only) adds a tactile, motorsport-inspired touch. For weight reduction and enhanced rigidity, the rear seat has been deleted, and a harness strut bar ties together the rear shock towers—an element that not only stiffens the chassis but also visually signals the car's serious track intent. Additional details like embroidered floor mats, puddle lamps (with the 700A package), and Super Snake door sill plates elevate the experience for drivers who demand both performance and personalization.
The new staggered 20"x11" front and 20"x13" rear magnesium alloy wheels on the 2026 Shelby Super Snake-R mark a major leap forward in performance engineering. Developed over 15 years and powered by BlueTech Global's advanced materials expertise, these proprietary wheels produced by MP Wheels meet both OEM and racing specifications. Magnesium, the lightest structural metal with the highest strength-to-weight ratio, delivers a dramatic reduction in rotational mass — approximately 36.75 pounds in total, or 9 pounds per corner. On the road or track, that's the performance equivalent of shedding 180 pounds of static vehicle weight, translating directly into quicker acceleration, sharper turn-in, and shorter braking distances.
The wider 13-inch rear wheels allow for significantly larger tires, increasing the contact patch to help plant the power more effectively and enhance overall handling dynamics. This translates into greater traction, stability, and control — especially under high-performance driving conditions.
But these wheels aren't just about raw performance. Magnesium's natural vibration-damping properties transform harsh road inputs into heat, delivering a noticeably smoother and more refined ride. Superior thermal conductivity improves heat dissipation, enhancing chassis response and maintaining handling consistency during extended, spirited driving. Lightweight. Strong. Intelligent. Purpose-built to amplify the Shelby Super Snake-R's aggressive stance and track-ready capability, these magnesium wheels redefine what's possible in high-performance wheel technology.
