The iconic Shelby nameplate was summoned by Ford once again to add clout to the 2021 Mustang GT500KR. Even the most casual of automotive enthusiasts will recognize that the name Shelby is synonymous with high-performance vehicles. And this Mustang does not disappoint.

With 760 base horsepower produced by a smooth, but powerful, engine, this limited-edition pony car delivers track-worthy performance from a street-legal vehicle. Speaking of performance, this street monster can go from zero to sixty before you can finish reciting the first line of the Pledge of Allegiance. How perfectly fitting for a brand of vehicles as American as they come.

The Shelby GT features a 7-speed, rear-wheel drive V8 that’s built for speed, but generously appointed with enough creature comforts to keep pace with the car’s $70,000+ price tag (if price is even an issue for any of the 180 lucky owners). Yes, Ford produced a very limited number of the beauties. In the world of Shelby-monikered vehicles, “limited edition” truly means limited edition.

Front seat occupants, both driver and passenger, enjoy power seats that can be both heated and cooled. Everyone in the car sits on leather, and the split folding rear seatbacks are ready to boost your cargo capacity when needed.

With all this Shelby power under the hood, it’s nice to know the car comes with 4-wheel ABS, stability control, and traction control to keep things on the road and between the lines.The anti-theft alarm system and engine immobilizer help ensure that the vehicle stays right where you left it. Steering wheel controls for transmission, cruise, and audio allow you to keep your hands safely on the leather-covered steering wheel.

The 20-inch performance tires grip the road with confidence as you carve up turns and fly down the highway. With a top-speed that’s more than double any speed limit in the country, you’ve got more power than a third-world dictator. But this car is all America, baby. Enjoy the ride.
