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.

2015 F-150 kick-starts Ford sales

Wed, Feb 4 2015

The F-150 had a middling year in 2014, and its sales dipped slightly as Ford transitioned to producing the all-new truck with an aluminum body. But with one factory humming, another on the way and a fuller stock of trucks, 2015 is already shaping up to be a different story. The F-Series posted a 17-percent leap in January, helping to push Ford sales to a 15-percent gain for the month. The F-Series had its best January performance in 11 years with sales of 54,370 trucks last month. Much of this strength comes from the new generation of the F-150. While many of the old model are still being sold off, Ford is rolling out the new version. Just five percent of the F-150's retail sales were the new truck in December, but it was up to 18 percent in January. The increase comes as the first factory that makes the truck, Ford's Dearborn facility, is fully back online. The other F-150 factory, in Kansas City, is still completing its changeover to build the aluminum-bodied truck, and that's expected to be finished in the first quarter of this year. Sales of the truck will still be "tempered a bit" until the Kansas City plant ramps up, Ford sales analyst Erich Merkle said. Ford expects to have a full inventory of F-150s by mid-year. To that end, the company announced plans on Wednesday to add 1,550 jobs to support the F-150, including 900 positions at the Kansas City factory. The remaining jobs will be spread out over sites in metro Detroit. The Dearborn and Kansas City factories collectively will be able to build more than 700,000 F-150s annually. The added headcount also means Ford has reached the maximum number of entry-level workers allowed under its pact with the United Auto Workers. About 300 to 500 employees at several plants in the Midwest will transition to a higher pay rate, and their wages will rise from $19.28 an hour to $28.50 an hour. The F-Series was Ford's hottest seller in January, moving off lots in an average of 12 days. The high-end models, the King Ranch and the Platinum versions, are moving slightly quicker. The average transaction price is also up $2,100 for the F-150 compared to January 2014. "We're really pleased with how the new one is doing on dealer lots," Merkle said. A larger stock of F-150s will allow Ford and its rivals to capitalize on low fuel prices, which have slowed consumers' interest in smaller vehicles.

Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.

Mazda Turnpike in Japan shut down for racing

Mon, Dec 29 2014

The people behind Motorhead Magazine in Japan clearly have some friends in high places. Not only did they manage to shutdown eight kilometers of the Mazda Turnpike up the Hakone mountain, but they invited some of the country's premiere racers to take a drive up the hill. This wasn't just a Sunday cruise either. Featuring a BMW Z4 from the Super GT series, a classic Ford GT40, two flavors of Nissan GT-R and two takes on the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, these guys came ready to run. When an opportunity to let racecars challenge a curvy mountain road presents itself, you don't squander it. Thankfully, the folks at Motorhead knew that and outfitted the course with a plethora of cameras and high-quality sound equipment to capture the action. The result is nothing short of sublime. Take the video's urging to turn up your speakers for this one, and watch as these racers hit ludicrous speeds in a beautiful place never meant for them.
