Quote :: Shelby Raptor is a 575-HP Off-Road Beast

The big change for this already high-performance off-road pickup is the addition of a supercharger atop Ford's 6.2-liter V8, with spent gasses exiting through a Borla exhaust system. This improves the horsepower rating from a stock rating of 411 up to a shenanigan-ready 575. For a Shelby, the styling of this F-150 is very toned down, with only the company's name etched into the Raptor's digital mud to go along with custom wheels wrapped in 35-inch tires.

The company is only planning to build 100 of the Shelby Raptors per year, with pricing set at $17,995 on top of the stock donor Ford, which starts at $43,630

I would love to take one of those out for some fun.

Should we start a countdown to the YouTube video that shows some idiot totaling one.

It is very nice looking, but for $60K, I'll pass.

Shelby boosts production of 575-hp Raptor on early demand

Quote :: Shelby American unveiled its all-new Shelby Raptor at the New York Auto Show last month, saying that it would build just 100 examples of its off-road bad boy, a pickup priced at $17,995 over the cost of the donor Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. Strong early demand reportedly has Shelby singing a whole new tune, as the company is now saying it will build upwards of 500 units annually.
