The 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR represents the pinnacle of factory Mustang performance from its era: a factory-built, limited-production King of the Road that pays homage to the legendary 1968 original. Finished in menacing Ebony Black, this coupe is one of only 1,011 examples produced for the 2008 model year, of which approximately 328 were finished in black, making it a truly rare and collectible piece of automotive history.

At the heart of this modern legend lies a hand-assembled 5.4L supercharged V8 engine, enhanced with the Ford Racing Power Upgrade Kit including a cold-air intake, revised H-pipe exhaust system, and recalibrated engine management. This combination unleashes a breathtaking 540 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, representing a 40-horsepower increase over the standard GT500. Power is routed through a Tremec TR6060 6-speed manual transmission with a Ford Racing short-throw shifter and a ceramic-metallic twin-disc clutch, sent to the rear wheels through a 3.73:1 limited-slip differential for explosive acceleration.

The KR package transforms both performance and presence. The signature carbon fiber hood with functional twin nostrils and twist-lock hood pins saves 15 pounds over the standard aluminum unit . Additional carbon fiber components include the front splitter and mirror caps . The suspension was tuned by Ford's SVT team with unique spring rates, dampers, and stabilizer bars, complemented by Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires developed specifically for the KR. Large Brembo front brake calipers bring the car to a halt from 60 mph in just 109 feet - six feet shorter than the standard GT500.

Inside, the driver-focused cockpit features premium black leather seating surfaces with GT500KR embroidery and Carroll Shelby's signature on the headrests. The cabin is equipped with a Shaker audio system, air conditioning, and a Ford Racing cue ball-style shifter. A serialized dashboard plaque denotes its unique production number, adding to its collectible pedigree.

Engineered to dominate the road, this GT500KR rockets from 0-60 mph in approximately 4.0 seconds and covers the quarter-mile in the low 12-second range. Achieving an EPA-estimated 14 MPG city and 20 MPG highway, this is a car where fuel economy is a footnote to its mission of delivering an uncompromising, supercar-slaying driving experience that cemented its status as a modern American muscle icon.
