Shelby American (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/shelby/) has definitely proven itself when it comes to tuning the Ford Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/mustang/) - look no further than its new 1,200-horsepower Shelby 1000 (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/28/2013-shelby-1000-new-york-2013/) - but now the Las Vegas tuner has turned to the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/f-150+svt+raptor/).
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 (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/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 (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/), which starts at $43,630.
