The ongoing 2015 SEMA show (3rd to 6th Nov) is showcasing a number of automotive speciality products. The show has been attracting automotive enthusiasts from across the world as it has a variety of hot products lined up for display. Among a whole bunch of such hot products, one searing hot machine which may well have emanated from a hydrogen fission reaction is what you see here in these images. Shelby American in collaboration with the Tuscany Motor Company have created this utterly desirable monstrosity, termed the Shelby F-150. Meant for the sinners who couldn’t be satisfied with the 385 horses on the standard version, this one here would help raise the hell.
The V8 engine on this pick-up is similar to the Mustang’s V8 motor, except that it gets its own share of tweaks. Some of them include a black tipped Borla dual exhaust system, hi-flow fuel injectors, billet aluminium hi-flow throttle body, aluminium heat exchanger and an optional supercharger which comes with an over-sized cold air intake. What all that jargon translates into is 700hp of insane power.
You wouldn’t be blamed if you wondered what this agricultural looking truck with a high-up-in-the-sky ground clearance would do with all those ponies. Seems like Shelby has an answer. The Shelby F-150 gets a custom suspension setup which features fox shocks and BDS suspension to control that ludicrous amount of power. It also includes custom 18 inch Shelby wheels paired with BF Goodrich all terrain KO2 tires specially designed for off road performance.
Apart from the performance upgrades, the Shelby F-150 is offered with some unique paint jobs to make it stand out from the standard F-150. The image below displays the Blue Shelby F-150 with white coloured dual racing stripes running through the body. These models also receive Shelby badges as well as special Shelby body parts.
