What do you think is missing from a 411hp sport truck like the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor? Why, more horses and stickers, of course. Welcome toShelby's interpretation of the Raptor that was introduced today at the New York Auto Showand which will set you back $17,995 (€14,000) for the special items alone, excluding the price for the truck itself that currently stands at $43,630 (€34,000).Shelby begins from the engine bay where it bolts on a 2.9 liter supercharger to the huge 6.2-liter V8 and then adds a Borla sports exhaust system to push output from 411-horses to a 575-horsepower.
The standard package also includes, boost and fuel pressure gauges, a custom interior, numbered engine and dash plaques, side fender heat extractors, and a choice of five different 'Shelby' graphics.
Optionally and at an extra cost, Shelby can upgrade your Raptor with specific alloy wheels, a roof-mount light bar, revised bumpers and other accessories.
