Ford Motor Co. will unveil today three new limited edition vehicles driven by what it sees as an important, emerging trend: the division of the market into ever-smaller niches.

It's called "microsegmentation." Leading Ford's charge will be a new version of the Mustang, the Shelby GT-500KR. Boasting even more rubber-burning horsepower than the 500-horsepower base model GT-500, this limited edition 2008 model will arrive in showrooms in time for the 40th anniversary of the first "King of the Road" edition Shelby, one of the most sought-after muscle cars ever.

The new Mustang is a collaboration between racing legend Carroll Shelby and Ford's Special Vehicle Team. The new head of SVT, Hermann Salenbauch, will be on hand for the unveiling. He replaces the father of the modern Mustang, Hau Thai-Tang, who was recently tapped to lead the automaker's product development efforts in South America.

Ford will follow the Mustang with the new 2008 Ford F-150 Foose Edition -- the most powerful F-150 ever. Designed by customization star Chip Foose, this limited edition truck will boast a 450-horsepower 5.8-liter V-8 and street rod styling courtesy of the host of The Learning Channel's "Overhaulin'. "

The automaker will also show off a special limited edition version of another vehicle designed by urban legend Funkmaster Flex.

All three will make their official debuts at the New York auto show next week.

While none of these vehicles will top any sales charts, Ford hopes each will have an impact on the brand that far exceeds their low production runs.

And Ford plans to introduce other limited edition versions of the Mustang and F-series later in the 2008 model year.
