Two legendary American cars are inextricably linked with the personality of Carroll Shelby: the Cobra and the Mustang. The first of them Shelby created in 1962, when he was forced to end his racing career due to heart disease. His idea of installing a powerful American V8 engine on the lightweight British AC Ace roadster was so successful that it earned the Cobra the status of one of the best sports cars of all time, replicas of which are successfully sold today.

The first collaboration between Ford and Shelby in the 21st century was the Cobra concept, inspired by the legendary Cobra of the 1960s.

Unveiled at the 2004 Detroit Auto Show, this car was exactly the same original Shelby concept: a powerful engine mounted on a small roadster with minimalistic exterior and interior trim.

The Cobra had almost the same aluminum spaceframe chassis as the Ford GT supercar, but it had the engine in the front and the 6-speed gearbox in the rear along with a limited-slip differential.

The powertrain - a 6.4-liter aluminum V10 DOHC dry sump - developed 605 hp. and 679 Nm of torque.

In theory, the Shelby Cobra could overcome the 400 km / h barrier, but the top speed was electronically limited to 160 km / h.
Interior Shelby Cobra

Braking was provided by ventilated disc brakes with 4-piston Brembo calipers. The Cobra's interior was utterly spartan, but the sport seats and aluminum trim lent its uncompromising character. Shelby considered unnecessary such familiar attributes as windshield wipers, side windows, roof, radio, air conditioning and ABS.

The Ford Shelby Cobra concept from 2004 drew heavily on the Ford GT production car – especially the space frame and suspension.
