Here’s a rare chance to own a piece of Shelby history! Up for auction on Bring A Trailer is one of only 60 Shelby GT500KRs built for 2022. This ultra-powerful muscle car pays homage to the 1968 original and lives up to its “King of the Road” nickname. Packing a supercharged V8 that cranks out over 900 horsepower, it easily surpasses the standard Ford Mustang Shelby GT500.
This particular example is finished in a stunning Carbonized Gray Metallic with contrasting red stripes. It showcases all the signature KR upgrades: a Borla cat-back exhaust system, carbon fiber hood, splitter, and diffuser, along with 20-inch Shelby forged aluminum wheels and a rear wing.
Inside, the car offers Recaro racing seats upholstered in black and red leather with Shelby and GT500KR embroidery. While rear seats are removed for weight reduction, amenities include an infotainment system, climate control, cruise control, and performance apps. Additionally, the Technology Package provides a premium sound system, navigation, and blind-spot monitoring.
Under the hood sits a hand-built 5.2-liter V8 modified by Shelby American for immense power. This includes a supercharger, upgraded air intake, and improved cooling systems. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a dual-clutch automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential for optimal handling.
