In 2008, Ford introduced 2 new trims to the Mustang lineup causing many Mustang parts to be changed. The first was the Shelby GT500KR – the “KR” stands for “King of the Road” and was a tribute to the original Shelby GT500KR from the 1960s. The second was the Bullitt Mustang, which was designed to honor the 40th anniversary of the movie car chase. Other ’08 Mustang parts were switched to lighter parts to help reduce overall weight. The remaining 2008 Mustang parts were unchanged and sales fell even more, dropping to 91,251 for 2008.
