We got a chance to visit Shelby Automotive out in Las Vegas a week or so ago to witness the first 2009 GT500KR going through final assembly. Although the KR was originally intended to be an '08-only model release, demand for the new King of the Road was high enough that Ford and Shelby decided to keep on rollin' for another year and plans to offer an additional 746 units for 2009. As a refresher, these beasts are powered by a 540-horsepower version of the GT500's supercharged V8. If you love special edition versions of the Mustang like this one but aren't ready yet to buy, fear not... we have a feeling that there will be many more to choose from in the coming years.

haha...i think that at this point, the base model and GT are more limited edition than are any of the limited edition models...

Translation: Whoops! The normal GT500 isn't as fast as it should have been, we better keep making the KR so then we can hold on to bragging rights as the competition is about to re-join the game.
