The Centennial F-150 carries an unreasonable amount of power you surely don’t need but will still appreciate.<\/p>\n

To celebrate Carol Shelby\u2019s 100th birthday, Shelby America reveals its new truck based on the Ford<\/a> F-150 Lariat 4×4 SuperCrew. Called the Carroll Shelby Centennial Edition, this F-150 is no ordinary truck, indeed. While the base model already has a beefy 5.0-liter V8 producing a very decent 400 hp, Shelby satisfies its craving for power and doubles that, bringing it to 800 hp!<\/p>\n

The Centennial F-150 celebrates Carol Shelby’s birthday, who was, surprisingly, passionate about going off the beaten path. Shelby America<\/a>\u2019s current president, Gary Patterson, considers Carrol Shelby the most interesting man in the world while he was alive and wants to highlight the legend\u2019s love for off-roading. Hence, the Centennial Edition F-150<\/a> was born, and safe to say, Shelby nailed it with this one.<\/p>\n

Styling-wise, Shelby has done some radical work to the truck. The Centennial Edition gets a double intake “RAM AIR” hood with vents, body-painted flares, a revised front bumper, a “Shelby” grille, a painted rear bumper cladding, redesigned front fenders, side steps, a tonneau cover, signature decals, and Centennial badging all around. To add even more girth, the manufacturer gave the truck 22-inch Shelby alloy wheels wrapped in BFG all-terrain KO2 35\/12.50R22 rubbers. As for the cabin, the Centennial gets some extra special badging, carbon fiber trims, red ambient lighting, billet racing pedals, and tinted windows.<\/p>\n

That said, the truck’s highlight is definitely the 800hp tuned V8 when fitted with the optional Shelby-engineered supercharger system, including Ford\u2019s racing blue supercharger, a performance air intake with a high flow filter, a new intake manifold, an oversized carbon fiber air intake tube, an aluminum heat exchanger, and a billet throttle body. Of course, if you choose not to go with the supercharger and retain the 400 hp naturally aspirated setup, you would save $9,000 \u2014 but do you really want that?<\/p>\n

But no matter whether you opt for the supercharged version or not, Shelby still gives you plenty of new performance parts, comprising front and rear brake upgrades, a Borla performance exhaust, black dual exhaust tips, rear tractions bars, and upgraded FOX suspensions \u2014 all covered by Shelby’s own three-year or 36,000 miles warranty.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, there will be only 100 units available for the US market, with prices starting from $129,450 for the non-supercharged model and $138,495 for the 800 hp supercharged one \u2014 the latter is a no-brainer, really. Props to Shelby for making such an incredible supertruck, which, we can all agree, is a proper way to celebrate its founder’s 100th birthday.<\/p>\n
