2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR:

[Graham-P]

This just popped up on our internal site.

Launching next spring, the 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR model features a 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 with a Ford Racing Power Upgrade Pack that boosts engine output to an estimated 540 horsepower.

Produced in a limited edition of 1,000 units, the Shelby GT500KR coupe comes with a custom carbon composite hood with scoops and stainless steel twist-down hood pins, a lower front air dam with chrome-trimmed functional brake ducts and large 14-inch Brembo front brakes. The suspension has been modified with an emphasis on race-inspired handling.

Drawing inspiration from the classic 1968 KR model, the Shelby GT500KR also features 40th Anniversary exterior badging, unique striping and a distinctive interior with Carroll Shelby-signature embroidered seats and a 40th Anniversary numbered dash plaque.

That does look pretty cool and at least they've finally lowered the Shelby. The standard version sits way too high.

Not so keen on the wheels though.

Still too heavy.

and too ugly.

Oooo. That's a bit harsh. Agressive, but not ugly IMHO

Some new pictures. I just hope the final production car has the same stance. The standard GT500 looks like an off-roader by comparison. You couldn't slip a fag paper between the top of the tyre and the wheelarch on this one. Perfect!
