Shelby Raptor is a 575-horsepower off-road goliath
For those who have cash to burn.
Shelby American has definitely proven itself when it comes to tuning the Ford Mustang β look no further than its new 1,200-horsepower Shelby 1000 β but now the Las Vegas tuner has turned to the 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 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.

I know I would be “shenanigan-ready” if my truck has 575 hp. If only I actually had the cash to burn…. instead I’ll settle for putting a new lift kit on my old, (not a Raptor) truck.
Don’t we all wish we had more money for neat toys.
