Earlier today, Shelby American pulled the covers off its new ’13 Shelby GT500 Super Snake “Wide Body” at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

 With 850 horsepower, the package provides room for larger tires, especially at the rear, to help put the power to the pavement. Package availability includes rear-only or front and rear.

“With 13-inch rear and 10-inch front wheels wrapped in serious rubber, the car launches and handles like the supercar it is,” said Gary Davis, vice president of production at Shelby American. “The optional wide body package isn’t just a cosmetic change, it now gives the Super Snake much more traction and makes it easy to exploit the Shelby’s potential right past the competition.”

With the ’13 Super Snake, Shelby American takes the stock 662-horsepower ’13 GT500 and boosts its performance to a street-legal 850 horsepower while keeping it 50-state emissions legal and tuned on 91 octane pump gas. Customers can choose between Satin Black, Gloss White, Silver, Blue and Red stripes.
