That's not an R. It's a base model that has the Widebody on it and other modifications that Shebly has on it. They use it when they do shows, and run it on track to show their GT350 program. It's owned by one of the people at Shelby.


This is an R that has the same widebody that was there last week from Fathouse with twin turbos and 1400hp.

We just returned from Shelby last week. The first car is their head of sales car, his name is Matt. Super cool guy if you get a chance to meet him at one of the events they are at, do so!

Matt's car was the very first s550 widebody they did.

The car on the lift is one of our 1000R builds. We have a ton of footage we will be posting over the next few weeks from the trip!

Its by far my favorite car build so far. Im not typically a fan of widebody but Shelby killed it, the interior is sick, stance is perfect! Driving around Vegas with that car was a blast and got so much attention. We saw multiple people walk right past the Huracan that was with us like it was a Prius to check this car out.

We crossed paths, may not have met. I was shooting for an article the same time you guys were there. We even crossed on the street when me and Vince were driving out to Speed Vegas in the Super Snake. Looked like you guys were returning at the same time.

Not to deviate too much from the subject but I've stolen thunder from several cars considerably more expensive than mine at cars and coffee before with just different wheels. It's pretty ego boosting if I am to be 100% real but it's a little nerve wracking too.

That thing is awesome. I wonder how much the conversation is for that?

Matt’s widebody also wore the bespoke Shelby tires. Apparently those tires were about 1-2 second quicker than stock Cups from what I heard. Anyone know if they’re for sale yet??

Shelby Xcomp II, something like that.
