BTW There are also rumors that Ford may be unveiling an "R" version of the GT500 at the New York Auto Show. According to a post on BlueOvalNews the R model may be called the GT500FR (Ford Racing?) Supposedly this video gives a glimpse of it.

The FR is rumored to have 600hp just like the KR so I have a hard time believing any of it. I guess it's possible that the FR will be the race version, and the KR will be the street version, but then again for all we know the KR and FR may be one and the same.

BlueOvalNews (who owns gt500source.com) has released this teaser picture of the KR. Looks like it's got drilled braked rotors!

BTW From what I'm hearing Ford may officially release information and pictures of this car at midnight tonight!

First Look: Shelby GT500 KR Pictures
Obviously the picture above wasn't of an actual KR, and obviously the rumors of it having 600 horsepower were quite off.

Could there still be a 600 horsepower R (FR?) model to come?
