This 2009 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500KR is finished in red with silver stripes and has been with its second owner since 2013. The car is noted as one of 1,000 GT500KR examples built in 2008 and one of 107 finished in red with silver stripes. Power comes from a 5.4 litre supercharged V8 producing 403 kW (540 hp), driving the rear wheels through a six speed manual transmission. The odometer reads 21,229 miles.
The Shelby GT500KR was released to revive the “King of the Road” designation first used on the 1968 GT500KR. Based on the S197 Mustang platform, the modern GT500KR built on the GT500 with a more powerful supercharged 5.4 litre V8, revised intake and engine calibration, Ford Racing suspension tuning, a carbon fibre composite bonnet with functional vents and twist lock pins, unique badging, and KR specific exterior detailing. The model was produced in limited numbers and sat above the standard GT500 as the flagship Shelby Mustang of its era.
This example is presented in red with silver over body striping, chrome alloy wheels, red brake calipers, carbon fibre mirror caps, bonnet pins, GT500KR lower side striping, and Shelby badging. The black interior features leather sports seats, a Shelby GT500 steering wheel, white gear knob, auxiliary dashboard gauges, Shaker 1000 audio, and GT500KR dash plaque.
