A new series of digital renderings is drawing attention to the performance potential of Ford’s best-selling pickup by reimagining the Shelby American F-150 Super Snake with an aggressive widebody design. The unofficial concept arrives amid a busy period for Ford Motor Company, which continues to dominate headlines across motorsports, technology, and sales performance.
Ford closed last year with America’s best-selling nameplate once again, as the F-Series recorded more than 828,000 units sold, marking an 8.3% increase over 2024. At the same time, the automaker faced challenges, issuing 153 recalls affecting nearly 13 million vehicles, far exceeding totals from competitors Toyota and Stellantis. Despite that, Ford is maintaining a strong public presence, including plans to bring Formula One activity to Detroit through a collaboration with Red Bull Racing tied to a 2026 car reveal.
Against that backdrop, attention has also turned to Ford’s performance image. The company highlighted advanced technologies at CES 2026, including in-car artificial intelligence, unified computing systems, and plans for eyes-off autonomous driving beginning in 2028. Enthusiasts are also closely watching for a new high-performance sports car, widely hoped to slot between the Mustang Dark Horse and the limited-production Mustang GTD.
Rather than focusing on Mustang speculation, a digital artist chose a different canvas. Russia-based automotive CGI creator Mikhail Sachko, known online as mikhail_sachko, applied his attention to the Shelby American F-150 Super Snake. The real-world Super Snake returned for the 2025 model year with increased refinement, higher output, and a revised suspension.
In production form, the Shelby F-150 Super Snake offers up to 785 horsepower from a supercharged V8 and starts at $138,495. It features a redesigned interior with dual-tone leather, billet racing pedals, carbon fiber trim, and a heavy-duty suspension incorporating components from Ridetech and FOX.
Sachko’s digital interpretation builds on that foundation by addressing what the factory version lacks: a widebody conversion. The renderings add pronounced fender flares, wider tires, and large five-spoke HRE Performance wheels, along with quad exhaust outlets replacing the standard dual setup. Aside from those changes, the truck’s overall character remains faithful to the original Shelby design.
The result is a virtual pickup that visually downplays its utility roots, presenting the Super Snake as a street-focused performance machine that nearly forgets it is a truck at all.
