There are few vehicles more iconic than a Shelby Cobra. And in our eyes it hardly matters whether it's a "real" Cobra or not Repromod. Because like this Superformance MKIII-R shows impressively, a replica can be damn cool. This particular example is owned by one 600 hp 7,3 liter Ford Godzilla V8 engine powered and is therefore stronger than the original car. The new price for one like this Repromod However, it is a staggering $160.000. But people pay for it. Because Superformance has long since made a name for itself with faithful replicas of various sports cars from the 60s. Above all, of course, with the Shelby Cobra. The manufacturer even has an official licensing agreement with Shelby.
Shelby Cobra (MKIII-R)
The latest creation, the MKIII-R, deviates somewhat from the original formula. It is a classic roadster with modern design features and current aerodynamics. The design is therefore quite controversial among Cobra fans, but we think it is quite sharp.
The main changes to the bodywork include a deeper one front splitter and a powerful one diffuser on the rear apron. the fender also have powerful air vents and also the radiator opening front is bigger. As a buyer, you can have many things customized on the MKIII-R. The replica can be ordered in any color combination. So you don't have to rely on the blue with the dark gray stripes and trim from the photo vehicle. The standard model has quilted interiors as standard leather seats with chic, color-coordinated double stitching. Center console is wrapped in leather and the upholstery can generally be individualized to your heart's content.
Under the shell of the MKIII-R is a Square tube frame chassis, which is also found in the other MKIII roadsters. In addition, each vehicle has one Independent suspension all around with special top and bottom Wishbones and Coil springs and Bilstein shock absorbers. There is also a seat in the back Limited slip differential and is braked using Four-piston disc brake system front and Single-piston disc brakes rear.
