Ford to Showcase Limited Edition Vehicles at New York Auto Show

The upcoming New York International Auto Show (NYIAS) is already creating a huge buzz in the auto market. Different car makers have already announced what they will be exhibiting at the country's largest motor show. The huge number of attendees will surely be treated to a dazzling display of concept, production, and limited edition vehicles.
Ford has already announced that they will be unveiling three limited edition vehicles at the mentioned motor show. These three are the Shelby GT500KR, the F-150 Foose Edition, and the Ford Expedition Funkmaster Flex Edition. These three vehicles will join other production vehicles and concept cars from the Dearborn based outfit's exhibit at the motor show.
The Ford Shelby GT500KR which will be hitting showrooms in spring next year will be powered by a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine. This massive engine provides a whole lot of power which when tested goes up to a high 540 horsepower. To control that power, the limited-edition vehicle will be equipped with some 14-inch Brembo front brakes.
To give the vehicle good handling, it is configured for racing. The exterior design of the 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR is characterized by a carbon composite hood and a lowered front air dam. The performance of the muscle car complements the vehicle's aggressive styling. Only a thousand of these vehicles will be produced for the public.
The vehicle will also feature anniversary badges marking the 40th year of the Ford GT500KR in the auto industry.
Aside from the powerful GT500KR, Ford will also be exhibiting the 2008 Ford F-150 Foose Edition. The pick-up designed by the renowned automotive designer Chip Foose. The F-150 limited edition is lowered to give it high aesthetic value. The lowered look of the vehicle is even more enhanced with the 22-inch wheels it features.
The limited edition also sports a new grille and rocker moldings. Headrests and floor mats complement the interior of the pickup truck. What powers these vehicles is a Triton V8 engine. The massive V8 can produce 450 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. That makes the limited edition vehicle the most powerful F-150 since the 2004 version of the F-150 which was then called the Ford SVT Lightning.
While it already produces a huge amount of power, aftermarket parts like a Toucan cold air intake system can significantly enhance the vehicle's performance.
The third limited edition vehicle that Ford will be unveiling at the New York Auto Show is the 2008 Ford Expedition Funkmaster Flex Edition. The shortened version of the Expedition is designed by hip-hop DJ Funkmaster Flex. The design of the limited edition Expedition is characterized by a two-tone paint scheme, special badges, and a custom front fascia. Its integrated fog lamps, side skirts, and 20-inch aluminum wheels adds to the aesthetic value of this eye-catching piece of engineering.
