The world’s first and only 2017 Shelby Super Snake Widebody Concept is based on a 2015 Ford Mustang chassis that has been widened nearly 4-inches in the rear and 2.50-inches up front for better handling. Power comes from a Shelby-Whipple supercharged 5.0L Coyote V8 engine making at least 750 hp, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.
B is for Build arrived at SEMA 2022 in Las Vegas with a bang in the form of a custom mid-engine 1967 Mustang Fastback with an insane body kit.

Limited to just 20-units for approved Ford GT customers, the 2022 Ford GT LM Edition honors America’s only Le Mans-winning supercar, including wins in 2016 as well as the 1-2-3 podium sweep in 1966. Its sleek carbon fiber body has been finished in Liquid Silver exterior paint and sports either a red or blue theme throughout, honoring the red and blue race livery of the Le Mans winning No. 68 Ford GT.
Limited to 10-units per model year for 2020-2022, the Shelby GT500 Code Red replaces the factory supercharger with a twin-turbocharger setup. More specifically, a twin-turbo 5.4L V8 engine that makes over 1,000 hp and 780 lb-ft of torque on 93 octane pump gas or 1,300 hp and 1,000 lb-ft of torque using E85 Ethanol.
Most would think a Clive Sutton-tuned Ford Mutang V8 would be faster than the electric Ford Mustang Mach-E GT in a drag racing showdown, but the results may surprise you. The former is powered by a 5.0L V8 generating 490 hp and 391 lb-ft torque, while the electrified Mustang has a dual electric motor setup making 487 hp and 634 lb-ft of torque.
