When it was shown off in 2017, the Shelby Super Snake Widebody concept gave the sixth-generation Mustang

[{"selector":"#anim-be7c5328-33f6-466d-90d1-3d0a367f1220 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.28188580578588%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

which came out for the 2015 model year and is now nearing the end of its life, the widened look of previous wide-body Shelbys.

For the 2024 model year, a new Mustang of the seventh generation will take its place.

The concept started out as a regular 2015 Mustang, but it got hand-built front fenders with vents, new rear quarter panels and rocker panels,

[{"selector":"#anim-e5a9b0bb-9348-4616-bf5a-08ff948f23ce [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-42.07807245410275%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Shelby was able to add 4.0 inches to the rear track and 2.5 inches to the front track with the wide-body kit. It also served as a model for a version of the kit that Shelby sold to customers.

[{"selector":"#anim-d58515f9-a996-42eb-a22c-2c3d4020f0d1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Style wasn't the only thing that was changed. Shelby added a Whipple supercharger to the Ford 5.0-liter V-8, giving the concept 750 hp.

[{"selector":"#anim-1eb59ca0-1dea-42f6-bb17-e9521c0e6c4d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.179687404002955%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

This power goes to 20-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres through a 6-speed manual transmission.

[{"selector":"#anim-370bf841-833d-4e7b-96b4-ac6e6ed6e705 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.240844612732676%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

After it was shown off, the Super Snake Widebody concept car was sold to a private owner. The contract for the sale is still in the car, so it has been kept until now.

[{"selector":"#anim-3c101ffd-2039-40c4-aabc-cbedb5d796a7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.28188580578588%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The car has only 1,350 miles on the odometer, which makes sense since it was made to be a show car. Classic Shelby Mustangs are often sold at auction

[{"selector":"#anim-d96a5e54-826b-4ba7-9511-43bfa2d82167 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.515502817524286%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

but it's not clear how well this newer model will do. It might get more attention than other new Shelby Mustangs because of its unique history and wide-body look.
