Nobody quite expected this: Shelby is reviving the Super Snake Sport after a three-year pause — and pricing the rare two-door pickup well above its closest rival. The truck now starts at $115,795. Getting the promised 810 horsepower costs $18,005 more than Ram’s 777-hp Rumble Bee SRT. The power gap is just 33 hp. Whether that premium is worth it is another question entirely.
Shelby Performance will build only 500 examples of the 2026 Super Snake Sport. The truck starts life as a regular-cab Ford F-150 with a cargo bed roughly 1,980 mm long. The stock 5.0-liter Coyote V8 makes 400 horsepower, already respectable for a pickup. Shelby wasn’t satisfied: a supercharger, new intake, heat exchanger, injectors, and spark plugs more than double output, pushing it to 810 horsepower.
The engine isn’t the only thing that changed. The truck gets adjustable King coilovers, rear traction bars to cut wheel spin, Baer brakes, 22-inch wheels, and Michelin tires. The body was lowered, and Shelby fitted a new hood, front bumper, aerodynamic add-ons, and a tonneau cover. Inside, buyers get leather seats, carbon-fiber-style trim, and an individually numbered plaque.
It’s the price that shifts the balance against Shelby’s main rival. The Ram Rumble Bee SRT is priced at $97,790 and packs a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 making 777 horsepower. The power gap is just 33 hp, or about 4.2%, while Shelby costs 18.4% more. Ram also promises a 3.4-second 0-60 mph run; official numbers for the new Super Snake Sport haven’t been published yet. The math doesn’t favor the bigger check — not yet, anyway.
The previous two-door Super Snake Sport launched in 2020 with up to 770 horsepower and a starting price of $93,385. The new version gains 40 more horsepower but costs $22,410 more. Shelby says the model’s return was made possible by a suitable base F-150 becoming available again after a three-year gap.
Shelby backs the truck with a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty, while Ford’s powertrain warranty stays intact. Sales of the limited run begin at select Ford dealers in the US. The real test comes next: independent acceleration numbers, which will show whether those extra 33 horses justify the premium over the Ram.
