Vehicle Description
2009 Shelby GT500KR For Sale - Only One Owner, 4,200 Original
Miles, "King Of The Road" LMC is very proud to offer for sale this
2009 Shelby GT500KR 2008 marked the 40th anniversary of the
original GT500 KR ("King of the Road") and to commemorate the
original Ford and Shelby teamed up to create a brand new 2008
Shelby GT500KR. They made subtle changes to the already popular
GT500 platform to increase performance, handling and styling. The
pieces, parts, personality, and production are a joint effort
between Ford Motor and Shelby Automobiles, with the development
driven by Ford's SVT engineering team. With only 1000 units being
built, the remastered KR was very rare and expensive with a MSRP of
79,995 USD. For the new KR model, the standard GT500 5.4L
Supercharged V8 powertrain remained. Instead, SVT used some small
tuning tricks to extract more horsepower out of the supercharged
mill. The engine-management system is remapped for a more
aggressive timing curve, and with that comes the mandatory use of
premium fuel. The hood/air-box combo makes for a cooler intake
charge while a new exhaust system helps this engine breathe. The
result is a 40-horsepower increase (500hp to 540hp) plus a
30-pound-foot increase in peak torque. A stouter 3.73:1 rear gear
completes the package. The Tremec provided six-speed manual
transmission remains but, with a shorter-throw shifter for
increased performance. The chassis tuning is about 17-percent
stiffer in front and about seven-percent stiffer in the rear than
the a standard GT500 thanks to more aggressive Ford Racing springs
and Tokico shocks and struts. Ride height drops 20mm up front and
15mm in the rear. The standard 14-inch front Brembo's and vented
rear discs were judged adequate to cover the increased performance.
Newly designed forged Alcoa wheels wrapped by Goodyear F1s come
standard on the KR. The styling and aerodynamics are improved with
new, polished carbon-fiber front splitter, carbon-trimmed exterior
mirrors and new extractor hood. The rear wing is new, too,
producing less drag and helping move the center of aerodynamic
pressure forward for better stability. Combined with the lowered
ride height, the result is a car that is more balanced. This 2009
Shelby GT500 KR is 1 of only 328 factory painted Ebony Black with
Satin Ebony Stripes. It is complemented by a beautiful black
leather interior with Shelby embroidered headrests. This 1
collector owner car has only been driven 4,200 miles since new. It
still looks showroom fresh like the day he purchased it new. �It
comes fully documented with original window sticker, Shelby window
sticker, dealer invoice and owner's manual. �It has been stored in
a climate controlled environment since new and shows like new. With
its low production numbers, ultra low mileage, and performance this
2009 Shelby GT500KR is a must have for any collector. All these
attributes make this Shelby a investment grade automobile. Don't
miss your opportunity to add this rare modern day "King Of The
Road" Shelby to your collection. Additional Details: 2009 FORD
