The new KR, like the original, is essentially a GT500  that's spent another hour or two swimming in the testosterone pool. The  supercharged V-8 benefits from a new cold-air intake and a Ford Racing low-restriction exhaust. "We also tweaked the spark maps a bit," says  Jamal Hameedi, SVT chief nameplate engineer. "Life is great with forced  induction, because small spark changes bring big  power increases." With no change in boost pressure, output is bumped to a target of  540 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, up from 500 horses and 480  pound-feet for the GT500. A six-speed manual will remain the standard and only  transmission, the ceramic-metallic twin-disc clutch already rated to handle  additional power (once in the hands of owners, few GT500s, Hameedi notes, remain  at 500 horsepower for long). Still, the KR will get a new, lower 3.73 rear axle  (versus the GT500's 3.31), which with the additional ponies should improve  acceleration significantly (expect the KR to rocket from 0 to 60 mph in about  four seconds flat or less-Z06 territory).

2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR InteriorThe basic suspension will  carry over from the GT500, albeit with stiffer springs and shocks, thicker  anti-roll bars, and a brace across the front strut towers. "On the KR we're  willing to trade ride comfort for enhanced body control and sharper turn-in,"  says Hameedi. In addition, ride height may be lowered slightly. "We're still  finalizing the setup," says Gary Patterson (who, along with Ford engineers, will  be wringing out KR prototypes at Las Vegas Speedway in the months ahead). The  GT500's standard Brembo brakes also will serve in the KR, their performance  enhanced via chrome-ringed front brake ducts. The production KR will ride on new  18-inch wheels supplied by Alcoa (the show car is wearing 20s).Inside, the KR will be dressed as you'd expect a Shelby  special to be: "Shelby"-embossed headrests, special graphics, logo floormats,  "40th Anniversary" dash plate. The KR will also get a short-throw shift  lever.Exterior changes are more significant, the  most obvious being the two hood pins and that large, functional hood scoop. "The  GT500 has an aluminum hood, but for the KR we're looking at an all-new hood in  carbon fiber," says Hameedi. "Yes, it's expensive, but this is a special car."  The KR will also get a carbon-fiber front splitter, which Hameedi notes reduces  frontal lift at speed.

Buyers will order the KR through  Ford dealerships. The cars will begin life as GT500s (though with the lower  3.73:1 rear axle and short-throw shifter factory-installed) before being shipped  to Shelby's Las Vegas facility for engine and other mods. Ford and Shelby will  build just 1000 examples. The GT500KR is still too far off for final pricing,  but given its fancy carbon-fiber body pieces and other refinements, it's a safe  bet that it'll start in the mid-$65K range. (GT500 owners will be delighted to  know that Shelby will also offer many of the KR's upgrades in aftermarket kit  form.)Naturally, we'll have test numbers for you  the moment a production GT500KR is available. But why wait? It's already clear  this new limited-edition Shelby will be the quickest productionMustang of all time.

Ford Focus Electric gets $6,000 price drop, now starts at $29,995

Mon, Oct 20 2014

In early 2013, the Nissan Leaf shed a massive $6,500 from its $35,200 base price to offer a new starting price of $28,800. Since then, we have seen numerous other plug-in vehicles get smaller price tags, from the Honda Fit EV (lower lease price) to the Chevrolet Volt (around $5,000 lower) to the Mitsubishi i (a $6,130 drop). Last year, Ford lowered the $39,200 price of the Focus Electric by around $4,000, but that hasn't been enough to get the Ford EV to really compete, saleswise, with other plug-in vehicles on the market. But wait, as they say, there's more. This past weekend, Ford lopped another $6,000 from the price of both the 2014 model year Focus EVs currently on dealer lots as well as the redesigned 2015 models that are now rolling out (they're basically the same car, minus some appearance changes). Ford spokesman Aaron Miller confirmed to AutoblogGreen that the Focus EV will now start at $29,995 and said that reducing the price should make the Blue Oval's only pure EV competitive. "We hope by reducing the price we're giving consumers another reason to consider it," he said. Through the end of September 2014, Ford has sold just 1,534 Focus EVs in the US (the model sold 1,335 in the first nine months of 2013). For comparison's sake, the Nissan Leaf starts at $29,010 and sells around 3,000 units a month in the US. Miller notes that the Focus EV has been selling the best on the West Coast, and is also doing well on the East Coast. After that, he said Atlanta and the Great Lakes area also see decent sales of model's admittedly small pie. We can only assume that offering the EV for under $30,000 will make that pie somewhat bigger.

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two

Sun, Jun 19 2016

We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.

Mustang driver proves wheels are overrated

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

We don't need to tell you that there's something missing in the image above. What we do need to tell you is that this is not a picture of a parked car stranded on the highway. This is, rather, just one frame from video of that three-wheeled Mustang traveling down the highway at highway-appropriate speed.
We don't know where you'd have to be nor how badly you'd have to be there to go shooting down the freeway in a car with three wheels, but if the New Daily News is correct, that place is somewhere in Texas. The video's short, but you'll have plenty of time to shake your head at it by just scrolling down.
