What have we got here? Is it KITT, then? Well, not quite. It’s the exact model of Shelby Mustang used for the 2008 reboot of Knight Rider – the GT500KR. Contrary to belief, KR actually means King of the Road. It’s a term that pays homage to the original 1968 GT500KR, a fearsome, Cobra Jet toting machine. Today’s 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR features a supercharged Modular V8 under the hood to really get your pulse racing. In case that isn’t enough, this 1,400-mile machine from Iowa also has the Shaker 1000 audio system, Shelby GT500KR forged wheels and even a carbon fiber rear spoiler and front splitter. You’d better not waste any time, then. Only 1,712 units were made, by the way.
Exterior and Interior
Wearing a proper black suit, this menacing 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR comes with silver Shelby GT500KR forged wheels, a carbon fiber front splitter and a carbon fiber rear spoiler. The car also packs black racing stripes and 40th Anniversary badging in case you didn’t know that the original GT500KR was a 1968 model. All in all, it’s a sure-fire head turner even amidst today’s modern machines, and a car that will definitely become a classic very soon. Already, prices are on the uptick, after all. The black interior of this 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR is endowed with ambient lighting, air conditioning and the famous Shaker 1000 audio system. Pop the trunk and you’ll see the system’s dual subwoofers taking up a small bit of cargo capacity, but not much, thankfully. The steering wheel wears the iconic Shelby Cobra motif while the manual gear shifter comes in white cueball-style. There’s also a builder plate on the dashboard, and the car can seat up to four adults. Yes, it’s pretty practical.
Engine
The supercharged 5.4-liter Modular V8 that moves this 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR is a real brute. It can make up to a reported 540hp and 510lb-ft.
