Exterior and Interior

The black exterior of this 2008 King of the Road Mustang is perfect for its aggressive styling, with powerful lines and angles from front to back, creating a commanding silhouette and presence that is unmistakable. Shelby branding proudly makes itself known as the cobra insignia on the front, side, and rear. As aesthetically pleasing as the vehicle is, it is also functional, with every piece of engineering either contributing to the looks or the car's performance, mostly both. A great example is the hood with functional scoops to draw cool air into the engine. In the rear is a Shelby rear decklid spoiler and Brembo sport brakes on the wheels. Decades down the line, this Mustang's design will age like fine wine and remain a timeless classic. Stepping inside, you'll be greeted by an exquisite black interior, given the complete Shelby interior package treatment. There are plenty of amenities, including a Shaker 1000 sound system and Sirius satellite radio compatibility. The interior is no-nonsense, with everything you would need but with little distraction except for the signature of Carroll Shelby, the man himself proudly displayed in the center.

Engine

Because what makes the KR edition of this 2008 Shelby GT500 is its performance. The 5.4L V8 engine of this Mustang has undergone the full Carroll Shelby treatment and delivers all of its power to the rear wheels using a manual transmission. The 540hp, 510 lb-ft torque through a supercharged DOHC 32-valve monster of an engine roars with the blip of the throttle and is a living entity, constantly eager to let itself loose. Now you have the privilege of taming this beast for yourself.
