Shelby Unleashes 900+ HP Beast: The Ultimate F-150 Raptor Upgrade

Shelby American has unveiled its latest performance packages for the Ford F-150 Raptor and the Raptor R, pushing the boundaries of power and capability to new extremes. For over a decade, Shelby has been taking Ford’s high-performance trucks to the next level, and its newest offerings are nothing short of jaw-dropping—especially for those seeking over 900 horsepower in their off-road monsters.

The Power Surge: V-6 and V-8 Options

Shelby’s upgrade packages cater to both the V-6 and V-8 variants of the 2024 F-150 Raptor. The V-6-powered Shelby Baja Raptor utilizes the twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine, ramping up the horsepower to 550. This package includes essential performance components like a one-piece heat shield, a performance intake tube, an open-air intake with a high-flow filter, and an aluminum intercooler to maximize efficiency and power.

But the real showstopper is the Raptor R variant, which takes the supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 from the Mustang GT500 and enhances it to unleash over 900 horsepower. Shelby accomplishes this incredible boost with a massive 3.8-liter Whipple supercharger paired with a Borla exhaust system, creating a thunderous roar as you unleash this beast on or off the road.

Performance and Capability Upgrades

Shelby’s upgrades extend beyond just raw power. Both the V-6 and V-8 variants feature a BDS suspension lift kit, 18-inch Shelby Raptor Flow forged wheels, and massive 37-inch tires for superior off-road capabilities. Extra cooling systems ensure the truck remains at optimal performance levels even under extreme conditions.

The exterior enhancements are just as aggressive, with a Baja Raptor hood featuring functional vents, a custom grille with LED lights, and bold Shelby branding all over. Steel bumpers at both the front and rear provide extra protection and utility, complete with recovery points, LED driving lights, a 30-inch light bar, and vents. The rear bumper even boasts two square LED lights for better visibility in low-light environments.

The truck bed is equally impressive but also functional. Equipped with a chase rack system, it can hold two full-size spare tires—perfect for long off-road adventures. However, this setup leaves limited space for additional cargo.

Interior Overhaul: Shelby Style

The cabin upgrades make sure the interior matches the aggressive exterior. Shelby adds its branding across the interior, with embroidered floor mats and full-leather seats featuring red accents. Billet racing pedals and a serialized dash plaque add a touch of exclusivity, ensuring each truck feels like a bespoke powerhouse.

Price Tag and Availability

These performance boosts come at a price. The V-6 package starts at $51,995, while the V-8 Raptor R upgrade costs $54,995. Note that these prices are in addition to the base price of the truck. The 2024 F-150 Raptor starts at $80,435, including the $1,995 destination charge, while the Raptor R itself adds another $31,925. This means that enthusiasts looking for the ultimate Shelby Raptor experience are looking at a substantial investment.

Shelby has announced that the trucks will be available in limited quantities, but the exact production numbers remain under wraps. If you’re interested in turning your Raptor into a high-powered off-road juggernaut, you’ll need to act fast before these beasts become scarce.
