The Shelby Baja 700 has made its debut and is now heading to limited production as only 50 units will be built. It’s based on the Ford SVT Raptor (2011-2014 models) and comes with a slightly different exterior appearance featuring special edition graphics and hood stripes. It has a front skid plate and comes with 18-inch alloy wheels shod in BFGoodrich K02 All-Terrain tires while at an extra cost the model can get LED lights, Rogue Racing bumpers as well as power-deployable side steps. Inside the cabin, Shelby American has added a three-gauge dash pod, Katzkin leather seats, bespoke floor mats and an individually-numbered dash plaque.
In terms of power, the Shelby Baja 700 is equipped with a large V8 6.2-liter engine that has received larger throttle bodies, custom fuel injector, a 2.9-liter Whipple supercharger and a Borla exhaust. All these upgrades have bumped output to more than 700 bhp (522 kW). It also comes with Rouge Racing control arms as well as a competition suspension featuring three-inch King coilovers and bypass rear shocks.
Shelby American has announced the special edition carries a starting price of $45,000, without the vehicle.
