Shelby and Ford’s partnership has proved to be fruitful in the past. Hence, there is another Shelby Ford product coming to the market, known as 2018 Shelby Ford Raptor. It seems the Raptor’s original 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque wasn’t enough juice for Caroll Shelby, the owner of Caroll Shelby International. He and his team have upgraded the pickup truck to produce 525 hp and 610 lb-ft of torque.
What’s more, the truck has been fitted with brand-new two-tier shock absorbing suspension and massive tires to go with the huge upgraded rims. The interior cabin also gets a nice personalized Shelby touch, especially on the seats and steering. A few changes in the exterior have also been made to make the 2018 Shelby Ford Raptor look different from the original.
This powerhouse package will cost buyers about $117,460. Only 500 examples will be developed for 2018 model year. Customers can also arrange to send over their 2017 Raptor to Shelby for conversion, which will cost $49,295.
