Glance over its beautiful exterior blanketed in the Ford factory color of Deep Impact Blue adorned with black and red painted stripes. Adding to the Cobra's sinister appearance are the black-out components such as the side pipes, black roll bar, etc.

Powering this beast is a Roush 5.0-liter Coyote V8 crate engine that spits out 500-horsepower and 475 lb/ft of torque. A Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual transmission transfers power down to the grippy Nitto NT555 G2 tires through a limited-slip BMW independent rear axle. Glasspack-style side pipes play in symphony with the modern V8 for an unbeatable soundtrack. Rack and pinion steering make maneuvering this roadster easy as can be, and partially hiding behind 18-inch black knock-off style wheels are power disc brakes on all four corners. Independent suspension on the front and rear with a front sway bar have this Cobra handling on rails.
