2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500
View Description
2008 marked the return of the Shelby GT500KR, the most powerful production Mustang ever. 1011 units were produced that year, but demand for the 'King of the Road' was so great, that Ford green-lighted another year of production. The KR's supercharged V-8 produced 540 horsepower, 40 more than the standard GT500, and includes a short-throw shifter, taller, 3. 73:1 rear axle and unique wheels, tires, and suspension settings. A special composite hood with hood pins, and unique stripes and badging set the KR apart from normal GT500s. This KR features 453 Original Miles and is 1 of 107 produced in this color combo.
