Shelby Cobra. A mere mention the beast is enough send enthusiasts′ hearts aflutter cause the minds those lucky enough have piloted such beast reel fast-paced memories. Unless, course, you are talking the untold gallons fuel the (up to) 7.0-liter V8 engines these venomous snakes guzzle.
But does it have that way? Is possible have your cake and eat it too? Well, that depends what exactly you are looking recreate. If you’re feeling a real need speed and nothing a fire-breathing monster will do, we have bad news you. But, you just want look like you′re piloting a vintage race car, you may in luck.
In standard form (which isn’t very cheap at over $40,000 U.S. or £27,724), so-called Baby Cobra from Japan powered tiny 660cc engine (yes, that’s less than tenth of the size of the original 427 cubic incher with fewer than half as many cylinders) yanked from Suzuki Cappuccino microcar.
A hefty options list can reportedly drive that price much higher into stratosphere, something tells us even turbocharged, 720cc mill 158 horsepower will still post significantly improved fuel efficiency over its forebearer. Yes, it’s completely ridiculous… yes, we’re completely smitten it.
Better get yours now before Shelby’s crack legal team gets wind this thing…
