Peak Performance.
Tangent and frequent collaborator Shelby American Inc, recently teamed up to design and develop the most extreme Shelby product yet, the 2026 Shelby Super Snake R. Designed with the racetrack in mind, the Super Snake R builds on the impressive performance resume of the Super Snake, with the addition of an even wider rear fender and aero package.
Embrace the Drama.
Tangent’s goal with the 2026 Super Snake R was simple; embrace the new proportions. By emphasizing the new, even wider rear fenders, Tangent ensured the Super Snake R would wear its heightened functionality on its sleave. Adding additional wider wings that transition from the rear fender into the rocker panel worked to enhance the Super Snake R’s wide body appearance even more.
Class A All the Way.
Tangents deeply skilled modelers and designers worked closely with the Shelby team throughout the project, developing 2D sketches and 3D models that would eventually become tool ready parts. Critical to the Super Snake R’s development was the use of Autodesk Alias, a class A surfacing software that allowed Tangent’s surfacing team to achieve OEM fidelity on Super Snake R’s complex wide body assembly.
The 2026 Shelby Super Snake R is on sale now through Shelby affiliated dealers, starting at $224,995.
