Ford Shelby GT500KR

This new version of the GT500 which was not as high of a success as desired due to its poor handling will surely satisfy new customers. The GT500KR is based off the 1968 GT500KR, more commonly known as the "King of the Road." This is the most powerful mustang ever in production and will be equipped with a 5.4liter V8 engine that will produce up to 540hp, and incrasing its torque to 510. Contrasting to most muscle cars, this new, more advanced muscle car will contain a 6-speed manual gear box, instead of a 4-speed short-throw shifter. Estimated arrival date for this car will be spring of next year, but Ford and Shelby have decided to only manufactre 1000 at the moment, at a price of just over $50,000.
