2020 Superformance MKIII-R Repromod as a modern Cobra

Can you still remember the Ford GT40 EcoBoost V6 or the 50th Anniversary Ford Shelby GT40 MkII Replica (strictly speaking Repromod) of the Superformance LLC and Hi-tech automotive remember? Both vehicles can hardly be distinguished from the original, just much cheaper. And there is currently another example from the company from Whatney (Irvine, USA) that is no less spectacular. Curtain up for the 2020 Superformance MKIII-R based on the Shelby Cobra. This is, so to speak, a new interpretation of the classic with the typical, unmistakable features. The body made entirely of GfK from the well-known square tube frame At first glance, the frame is typically Cobra, but many details such as the modified fenders, the massive hood with central air opening, the modern front splitter and the sporty rear diffuser are newly designed design features.

The exhibition vehicle also has a beautiful Atlantic blue paint finish and two anthracite-colored classic rally stripes run across the entire body. The modern chassis with adjustable Bilstein springs, telescopic shock absorbers at the front, etc. is completely contemporary, and the LED headlights and the 18-inch aluminum rims with the sports brake system hidden behind them are also completely up-to-date. All MKIII-R models come standard with four-piston brakes at the front and a single-piston system at the rear. A six-piston system for the front axle is also available as an option. So here too, things are ultra-modern. And that also applies to the spartan cabin.

At first glance, everything here looks several decades old, but upon closer inspection the instruments turn out to be a digital variant and the sports belts and leather seats are also extremely up-to-date. As always, Superformance supplies each body without an engine or transmission, so that everyone can decide for themselves which type of drive should provide propulsion. As is appropriate, the exhibition vehicle uses a V8 modified by Roush Performance with 510 hp and 698 Nm (515 lb-ft) of torque, which was coupled to a five-speed automatic transmission.

Motors and gears are available

In case of doubt, there would also be room for a V12 under the hood and an electric drive would also be conceivable for the repromod. In order for the huge sidepipes to serve a purpose, we think the E variant should be ignored. You should not ignore the options that can also be ordered directly through Superformance. For example, the company has matching Ford 302, 351, 460, 427/428 cubic inch engines with Tremec 5-speed transmission and Ford top loader 4-speed transmissions are also available. Incidentally, all MKIII-R models are equipped with a limited-slip differential, a roll bar and a beautiful three-spoke steering wheel as standard. So there are no limits to individuality. We currently do not have any more details about the 2020 Superformance MKIII-R DIY-Cobra.
