I don't think so, but we'll see. KR was only a one year limited GT500 option way back when... King of Road

There are a few in town

Here you go. Pics.

I thought of the original GT500KR, but I didn't think they'd go through the whole retro cycle again. And go through all the design details they had on old cars.

Still a pig. Shelby or Saleen should work on a light weight version.. Although it would be expensive and probably not much demand for it, a carbon body version would be pretty sweet. Kinda like the Carbon Z4 which was made by some company I can't think of off the top of my head.

2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR: Launching next spring, the 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR model features a 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 with a Ford Racing Power Upgrade Pack that boosts engine output to an estimated 540 horsepower. Produced in a limited edition of 1,000 units, the Shelby GT500KR coupe comes with a custom carbon composite hood with scoops and stainless steel twist-down hood pins, a lower front air dam with chrome-trimmed functional brake ducts and large 14-inch Brembo front brakes. The suspension has been modified with an emphasis on race-inspired handling. Drawing inspiration from the classic 1968 KR model, the Shelby GT500KR also features 40 th Anniversary exterior badging, unique striping and a distinctive interior with Carroll Shelby-signature embroidered seats and a 40 th Anniversary numbered dash plaque.
