Shelby American has revealed the Ford F-150 Shelby Centennial Edition, which, as the name suggests, celebrates the life of the late Carroll Shelby born in 1923. It also pays homage to his passion for off-road fun, coming with performance bits that should delight the 100-only future owners.

"Many considered Carroll Shelby the original 'most interesting man in the world' while he was alive and we're highlighting the many intriguing facets of the legend during our 2023 centennial celebration," said Gary Patterson, president of Shelby American.

Based on the Lariat 4x4 5.0-liter SuperCrew, the Ford F-150 Shelby Centennial Edition has a standard power rating of 400 horsepower. But with the optional supercharger, the V8 mill can produce as much as 800 hp, which is 25 hp more than the previous supercharged Shelby F-150 Edition released in 2021.

The Centennial Edition is fitted with Ford Raptor-style Fox shocks, which feature internal bypass technology and adjustable dual-speed controls. What this provides is the ability to tune the truck between comfortable and stiff suspension setups.

Exterior-wise, the limited edition truck has 22-inch Shelby wheels, powered side steps, signature front fenders, and Centennial edition Shelby badges and stripes. Meanwhile, the exclusive elements inside include bespoke Centennial Edition-badged leather seats, CSM numbered dash plaque and engine plate, and floor mats.

"The 2023 Shelby F-150 delivers the rugged capabilities needed for outdoor adventure and all the sophistication required for a fun night on the town. The special Centennial Edition was built for those who want to celebrate Carroll's achievements by driving the most capable and sophisticated truck yet to wear the Shelby nameplate," said Vince LaViolette, Shelby American Vice President of Operations and Chief Designer.

As mentioned, Shelby American will only produce 100 Ford F-150 Shelby Centennial Edition examples. The starting prices for the naturally aspirated and supercharged variants are $129,495 and $138,495, respectively.

Apart from the F-150, the Ford Mustang also received the Centennial Edition treatment in honor of the man behind some of the most iconic high-performance Ford models. Also limited to 100 units, the Carroll Shelby Centennial Edition Mustang boasts performance and aesthetics upgrades.

To make the celebration extra special, each Centennial Edition unit comes with a membership of Team Shelby, the worldwide club established in 2008, and will be eligible for documentation in the official Shelby Registry.
