2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 KR 40th Anniversary
In 1967 Carroll Shelby introduced the first GT500 Mustang. Forty one years later, touting a 5.4L V8 engine capable of producing 540 hp, the modern day GT500 is a reminder of everything good in a Shelby Mustang. This is no ordinary Mustang. It’s number 887 out of only 1,000 made. There’s the leather-wrapped steering wheel, a one of a kind shifter knob, Brembo brakes and an extremely firm clutch. This car offers a 2.73:1 rear axle gear radio, Ford racing performance exhaust system, 20” “GT500KR” Shelby designed wheels and front brake cooling ducts. It is also decorated with a carbon composite hood featuring a classic Shelby GT500KR design and 40th anniversary badges on the front quarter panels. The 2008 Shelby GT500 is one of the most powerful Mustangs. The car is fast, no doubt about it. With a 5.4L supercharged V8 engine under its hood, this car can do 0-60 mph in a quick 4.5 seconds. When you sit behind the wheel of a Shelby GT500 Mustang you feel powerful. The car emits a powerful vibe. Maybe it’s the ever present view out the front window of the GT500’s bulky hood, complete with air extractors or maybe it’s the whine of the screw-type supercharger every time you step on the gas. The car feels powerful. The GT500’s seats feature red leather inserts, complete with the famous cobra stitched onto the front seat backs. You’ll also find a cobra logo in the middle of the leather-wrapped steering wheel. There is a boost gauge which replaces the standard voltmeter gauge in the instrument panel. This car includes ambient interior lighting, electro-chromatic rear view mirror and aluminum pedal covers. Hands down, the best part of driving the car is the looks people give you. Young and old, all types admired the torch red car at stop lights. Who should buy the 2008 Shelby GT500 KR Mustang:

Ford overlooks the Big Apple in the 2015 Mustang Convertible [w/video]
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Ford has done it again. Like in April of 1964, there is once again an all-new Mustang Convertible sitting on the observation deck of New York City's Empire State Building. This has been in the making for a little while, with the first report that Ford would recreate the sky-high publicity stunt coming out a few weeks back.
The process of getting the Mustang up there wasn't exactly easy. A Troy, MI-based company chopped up the new droptop, a necessary evil to get the Mustang on the Empire State Building's only freight elevator that runs to the 86th floor observation deck. But it was slightly more involved than just taking the car apart. The company, DST, built a mockup of the ESB's freight elevators, and then practiced its cuts on a second pre-production Mustang Convertible (measure twice, cut once).
The result of all this work are the images you see above. Yes, sitting in the crisp, morning air of midtown Manhattan, over 1,000 feet up, is this brilliant, Triple Yellow Mustang. Take a look up top for our gallery of images from today's event. You can also scroll down for videos and images of the process leading up to the ESB debut.
European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year
Tue, Dec 16 2014There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.
