Barrowed this from Stangnet.

Celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the original Shelby Cobra GT500KR, Ford and Shelby collaborate on a new ‘King of the Road’ Mustang with the 2008 Shelby GT500KR.

Shelby GT500KR features an estimated 540-hp 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 with a Ford Racing Power Upgrade Pack, 3.73:1 rear axle ratio, short-throw shifter, and unique suspension tuning.

Exterior design draws inspiration from the classic Shelby KR Mustangs and features unique carbon composite hood, wheels, and special 40th Anniversary badging and unique striping.

Shelby GT500KR arrives in spring 2008 in an exclusive run of only 1000 units.

I like that hood! Anyone care to speculate on what the stealers will be marking this bad boy up to?

Probably about $40,000 more than I am willing to spend.

Still...WOW. That hood is SOOOOO much better. I give it an A+++++

1000 unit only!?!

I'll say right now I bet this car will be close to $100,000 - $120,000 if they keep those production numbers.

Beautiful though - just beautiful. Imagine how many more GT's they could have sold if it looked like that in the first place...

I love those rims better too. I think that looks waaaay better then the current shelby. 1000 cars+ Dealerships X Demand + Ski Mask = Highway Robbery then convert that into US dollars and you are only paying 80 grand but compared to a Z06 you get a back seat!

As much as I like the Stangs, $100K for a Mustang is just not worth it IMO. You know dealers will be throwing markups at it to break the $100K mark.

You can buy the whole GT500 front end and hood from a dealership parts counter correct? That means you should be able to buy the parts for the GT500KR front end also right? Anyone have any insight as to what that would cost? What do the GT500 parts run? I imagine you'd need the hood, bumper, and grill... do the fenders need to be swapped?

Gorgeous! Now that car definitely would stand out in a crowd!

I want one. If I had the ridiculous amount of money that they would ask for it, I'd buy it

This car just changed every plan I had for exterior modifications of my own. I HAVE TO HAVE THAT HOOD!!! Along with all the rest of the GT500 front fascia.

Those wheels are hot too......gotta be 20's.

That car looks amazing! How much can you get for a kidney?

At the risk of being flamed, in order to make sure all the information is out there, if you are going to go for the GT500KR look with your stang, rather than buying the GT500 parts from the dealership you might also consider this: http://www.fangperformance.com/php/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=16&MMN_position=23:5

IMO it makes the car look pretty damn close to the '68 and the hood is functional.

Like I said, not taking anything away from the new one, just want to make sure all the options are out there.

My GT is already that color, the stripes are in same color, the SC waiting to be installed, I just need the front fascia and the hood.
Looks amaizing IMO, way better than the current model.

Production of 1000, will cross six figures, FORD further screws the loyal fan base.
