Shelby American has again done a great job starting from the F-150 Raptor pick-up as the protagonist

Her name is Shelby American F-150 Raptor and she is simply monstrous. This version adds an extra 76 hp to the original Raptor, as well as several exterior improvements that make it even wilder and more aggressive.

More than 500 hp of power to reach the end of the world. The Shelby Raptor uses the same 3.5-liter, twin-turbo V6 Ecoboost engine that we find in the regular Raptor. It has been updated with a cold air intake, a high-output air filter, a one-piece heat shield, an aluminum intercooler, and an improvement to its ECU.

As a result, it delivers 532 horsepower and 826 Nm of torque. It's not bad at all to move this monster to any corner of the planet. On the other hand, her BDS-signed suspension will allow her to enter the most extreme terrain. It's not hard to see the heritage of the Shelby Baja Raptor.

Among the key points in a vehicle with these characteristics are the tires. In this case, the Shelby Raptor has huge 37-inch BFGoodrich KM3 mud-terrain with 18-inch alloy wheels. Visually, the exterior has also received a number of Shelby-style updates.

Highlights include a large air intake over the hood, two extra spare tires in the bucket, steel front and rear bumpers and LED auxiliary lighting. Externally, everything is simply wild, but inside, things weren't too cheap either. For example, it gets new leather upholstery for the seats.

On them you can read the Shelby Raptor Baja embroidery on the backrests. It features carbon fiber frames, steel pedals, an individually numbered plate and special mats. The price for this limited version starts at $124,820.
