This New Shelby F-150 Packs 785 Horsepower and Blows the Raptor R Out of the Water

Shelby is back with a vengeance, and this time they’re transforming the beloved Ford F-150 into an absolute beast. For 2024, Shelby American has unveiled their insane iteration of the Ford F-150, pushing the envelope with staggering performance and an aggressive design that is sure to turn heads everywhere, whether on the streets or off the beaten path. The new Shelby F-150 is here to prove that even America's best-selling pickup truck has room for insane upgrades and improvements. With a blistering 785 horsepower from its supercharged V8, this truck is built for those who crave power and performance.

A Heart-Pounding Powerhouse Under the Hood

Shelby's makeover starts with the F-150 Lariat 4x4 SuperCrew, a solid foundation that already boasts a 5.0-liter Coyote V8. This engine typically delivers 400 horsepower, but Shelby’s optional upgrade equips it with a Ford Racing Blue supercharger kit, rocketing the power output to a stunning 785 horsepower. This incredible transformation is aided by an open-air performance air intake system featuring a carbon-fiber intake tube, high-flow filter, high-performance fuel injectors, and an aluminum heat exchanger to keep everything cool. The torque figures haven't been disclosed yet, but this supercharged unit surely delivers a dramatic improvement over the base model's performance.

Raptor-Level Suspension That Dominates All Terrains

When it comes to suspension, Shelby has not held back. The truck is fitted with a FOX 2.5 factory race series shock system with internal bypass technology, echoing the high-performance setups found in the F-150 Raptor. To add to this robust setup, Shelby incorporates a BDS three-inch lift kit and wraps 35-inch all-terrain tires around striking 22-inch Shelby alloy wheels. Performance rear traction bars and a Borla cat-back exhaust system ensure the power isn’t just for show, but delivers a smoothly tuned yet fiercely aggressive driving experience.

Head-Turning Aesthetics: Power Meets Looks

Shelby has given the F-150 an exterior makeover befitting its performance enhancements. The changes start with a Shelby dual intake hood, complete with hood vents and extractors, signaling to anyone who sees it that this truck means business. The addition of body-color fender flares allows it to wear its chunky rubber with pride, while a Shelby-specific front bumper and new grille adorned with the iconic Cobra emblem complete the front's aggressive look. Shelby's signature striping extends along the body, complemented by fender vents with badging, a carpet bedliner, and a body-color tonneau cover. To make entry and exit as impressive as its on-road performance, power-deployable running boards equipped with rock guards and entry lights are included.

Luxurious Yet Sporty Interior Accents

The Shelby F-150 continues to impress on the inside. Carbon-fiber trim inserts and billet racing pedals augment the sporty vibe, while a suite of Shelby-specific upgrades like serialized console and engine plaques, and Shelby-embroidered floor mats, ensure a premium feel. The attention to detail honors both the truck's rugged capability and Shelby’s racing heritage.

The Price of Perfection

Owning a piece of Shelby’s latest innovation starts at $130,000, which includes the base truck. Opting for the supercharged upgrade adds an additional $9,995, a modest price to pay for such a dramatic boost in performance. This model is limited to only 800 units, which guarantees exclusivity. Buyers can order directly through authorized Shelby Ford dealers, and the package includes a three-year/36,000-mile warranty covering the powertrain enhancements.

Each purchase also includes membership in Team Shelby and registration in the official Shelby Registry, placing owners in the company of some of the most exclusive Shelby vehicles ever created. Carroll Shelby’s own love for trucks and SUVs, influenced by his Texan roots, is reflected in each aspect of this powerful machine, designed to be as versatile as it is exhilarating.
