    Menacing 670kW Shelby Mustang King of the Road is heading to SA

    Shelby South Africa has announced that the menacing and limited-edition Shelby Mustang King of the Road is heading to our shores in very limited numbers and a hefty price tag. 

    Upgraded Mustang GT500

    The Mustang King of the Road is based on Shelby’s Mustang GT500. The limited-edition model boasts an upgraded supercharger and coolers on the 5.2-litre V8 resulting in significantly increased power by 105kW to a total output of approximately 670kW. Shelby also managed to reduce its weight thanks to a lightweight carbon fibre hood saving close to 14kg and newly designed alloy wheels. Cornering agility is also improved thanks to a more aggressive suspension tune and sportier sway bars.

    GT500KR interior styling 

    Inside, the GT500KR receives unique anniversary badging and each car includes membership of Team Shelby, the worldwide club Carroll Shelby established in 2008. Every vehicle is further documented in the official Shelby Registry alongside other rare Shelbys like the recently unveiled Shelby Speedster. 

    Availability and pricing

    A limited run of 225 units globally of the Shelby King of the Road is currently underway, with Shelby South Africa aiming to complete four of those between 2023 and 2024 as part of the local allocation. Shelby SA has already sold one of these highly sought-after models, with each one being built at the Shelby-approved. The Shelby Mustang King of the Road is R4.4 million.
