Win This 850-HP 2026 Shelby Super Snake-R With Bonus Entries

Win a red 2026 Shelby Super Snake-R with more than 850 horsepower

Some cars are built to commute. This one was built to make every on-ramp feel like the opening lap. A brand-new 2026 Shelby Super Snake-R—serial #3 of just 100 planned—is up for grabs, and The Auto Wire’s entry link automatically applies promo code MCC5 for the posted bonus-ticket tiers.

We would love nothing more than to announce that one of our readers won this 850-plus-horsepower monster. But that can only happen if you’re in the drawing, so use our link and enter the Shelby Dream Giveaway here.

This Is Shelby’s Most Extreme Super Snake Yet

The Super Snake-R starts with the already formidable Ford Mustang Dark Horse, then Shelby turns the dial far past sensible. Its supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 produces more than 850 horsepower, while a six-speed manual transmission puts every shift in the winner’s hands.

And this is no one-trick straight-line machine. The “R” brings fully adjustable coil-over suspension, chassis stiffening and race-inspired hardware engineered to make all that power usable on a road course. An aggressive widebody, huge performance tires and carbon-fiber aero—including the splitter, rear wing and diffuser—give it the stance and downforce to match.

Rare From Day One

This is the first Super Snake to wear the R badge, and the giveaway car is slated to carry serial number 3 in the 100-car limited run. Each example is documented in the official Shelby Registry, giving this one instant collector credibility before its new owner even rows through second gear.

The cabin stays focused on the driver with Shelby performance seats, serialized badging and competition-flavored details. The prize is valued at $232,000, and Dream Giveaway says the winner’s federal prize taxes are covered. The package also includes enough premium SwissTrax modular flooring to upgrade a one-car garage—an appropriately polished landing spot for a car like this.

Here’s the part we do not want you to miss: entering through this link applies promo code MCC5. On the giveaway page, that code unlocks the posted bonus-ticket tiers—for example, a $25 donation is shown with 20 tickets plus 80 bonus tickets. The page offers additional levels, so choose what works for you and review the terms before entering.

Donations support veterans’ and children’s charities, according to Dream Giveaway. You get a shot at one of the wildest street-legal Mustangs Shelby has ever produced, while the campaign helps worthwhile causes.
