2009 Ford Shelby GT500 2dr Coupe

A collector’s dream and one of the most desirable modern Shelby’s ever produced, this 2009 Shelby GT500 King of the Road is a rare opportunity for both enthusiasts and collectors. Only 712 GT500 KR models were built for 2009, and just 88 were finished in stunning Vista Blue, making this the rarest color offered on the final year King of the Road.
The GT500 KR was developed as the ultimate evolution of the S197 Mustang and paid tribute to the legendary 1968 Shelby KR. Under the hood sits a supercharged 5.4 litre V8 producing 540 horsepower and 510 lb ft of torque, a significant increase over the standard GT500. Power is delivered through a performance oriented drivetrain featuring a short throw shifter and 3.73:1 rear axle ratio, providing exceptional acceleration and driver engagement. Performance was impressive even by modern standards, with an estimated 0 to 60 mph time of just 4.3 seconds and quarter mile times in the mid 12 second range.
Beyond the power, the KR received substantial chassis upgrades. The suspension features uniquely tuned springs, shocks, and struts, along with a Ford Racing front strut tower brace, upgraded sway bars, and revised suspension geometry designed to improve handling and driver confidence. Massive Brembo front brakes with four piston aluminum calipers provide outstanding stopping power, supported by four channel ABS, traction control, and electronic brake force distribution.
The exterior is instantly recognizable thanks to its lightweight composite hood with functional vents and hood pins, unique Shelby stripes, exclusive badging, and KR specific wheels. Every detail was designed to distinguish the King of the Road from a standard GT500.
Inside, the KR combines modern comfort with serious performance credentials, creating a car equally at home on the open highway, at a car show, or on a spirited weekend drive.
With only 88 Vista Blue examples produced and just 712 total 2009 GT500 KRs built, this is one of the rarest and most collectible modern Shelby’s available. Whether you’re a serious Shelby collector or simply looking for one of the best performance Mustangs ever built, this King of the Road deserves a place at the top of your list.
