Is this the ultimate Cobra? We believe so! At first glance, one could even assume that there is a Wiesmann GT MF 5 here. But this vehicle easily eats the Wiesmann with 507 hp 5,0-liter V10 from the BMW M5 for breakfast. The vehicle comes from the company CN vehicle construction GmbH (CN-Racing GmbH) from Dormagen, who have specialized, among other things, in refining the legendary Cobra. And with this Cobra, in addition to the LS7 V8 compressor protruding from the hood, the cool hard top is particularly eye-catching. Something completely new for us, because so far we have only ever seen the Cobra open. There is a high probability that it is a DAX COBRA 427 hardtop. But we are not quite sure. The closed variant with the rear window and the fat rear is convincing in every respect. And the rest of the metallic gray painted body with contrasting stripes in the middle is a real eye-catcher.

Everything is super clean and there are darkened headlights in front and behind, no chrome and of course the obligatory side pipes on the right and left. An extremely fat variant in matt black is installed here, which is of course due to the engine. If we are correctly informed, the vehicle is a so-called "RS6 Cobra" conversion, which represents the spearhead of the tuner. On the website, such a specimen is specified with approx. 900PS/662KW & 1080Nm torque, but this vehicle is said to have an insane 1.200 PS due to a Whipple compressor. The power is transmitted by means of a 6-speed Tremec racing gearbox exclusively to the rear wheels, which are in XXL format and with black three-piece BBS RS forged wheels (BBS RS racing rims, VA: 9×18″ with 245/40 ZR18, RA: 11,5, 18×315″ with 30/18 ZRXNUMX: unconfirmed information) with millimeter accuracy in the wheel arch.
the hardtop with rear window is a highlight
A look through the spokes also reveals a huge Brembo 6-piston fixed caliper brake with huge perforated brake discs and eye-catching yellow brake calipers all around. And the cabin has also been extensively revised and perfectly aligned with the clean style of the vehicle. There are classic round instruments in the middle and the lower part of the - painted in body color - Like the rest of the cabin, the dashboard is wrapped in high-quality black leather and skilfully contrasted in color with a yellow contrasting stitching. In addition, an OMP sports steering wheel flattened at the bottom with Alcantara cover and yellow 12 o'clock marking and a retro gear lever made of aluminum in the tidy center console.
black leather and only the essentials on board
According to the website, the so-called "RS6" conversion by Cobra-CN also includes technical delicacies such as a Drexler 3.64 racing locking differential, an aluminum oil cooler or an adjustable traction control in order to be able to bring the performance of the V8 onto the road at all. The handcrafted vehicles have a body made of fiberglass or carbon composite material and in this country CN Fahrzeugbau is probably the absolute top address when it comes to the Cobra.
