From A Rock-Splattered GT500 To A One-Of-One, 60th Anniversary GT500 KR

From A Rock-Splattered GT500 To A One-Of-One, 60th Anniversary GT500 KR

Join us as I visit with Scott about his incredible one-of-one 2020 GT500 KR and the journey it took to get it.

The 2020 Mustang GT500 KR is an upgraded and special edition of the already powerful Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. The "KR" stands for King of the Road, a name that has historically been used for high-performance, track-ready Shelby models.

While the 2020 Shelby GT500 is an impressive car on its own, the GT500 KR pushes it even further in terms of performance and exclusivity.

Here are some of the key features and specs of the 2020 Mustang GT500 KR:

Engine & Performance:

The GT500 KR features the 5.2-liter supercharged V8 engine.

The power output is estimated to be 800 horsepower (though this can vary slightly with different configurations or modifications).  It comes with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, offering faster and more precise gear shifts compared to a manual gearbox.  The KR also has improved cooling and aerodynamics, which makes it more capable on both the track and street.

Upgrades Over the Standard GT500:

Enhanced suspension, brakes, and handling dynamics.

Special carbon fiber components, like the hood and rear wing, to reduce weight while adding style.  Exclusive interior touches, with special badging and trim to mark its KR status.

Aesthetic Enhancements:

Unique KR badging on the exterior and interior.

Special edition colors and stripes, often available in limited production runs.

Track-Focused:

The GT500 KR is designed to perform at the highest level, with tuning that emphasizes cornering, acceleration, and top-end speed.  Features like adjustable suspension, sticky tires, and a more aggressive exhaust help provide a racecar-like driving experience.

The 2020 Mustang GT500 KR was produced in limited numbers, making it a highly collectible model and an exciting piece of Ford's performance lineup.
