Shelby Cobra 427 S/C

No introduction necessary. With its lithe frame and a V-8 engine that knocks out an impressive 565 horsepower, the Shelby Cobra has reigned as the preeminent - and certainly most recognizable - big-block sports car for more than four decades. Designed by the legendary Caroll Shelby, the Cobra is an inimitable blend of curvaceous European design and a powerhouse American engine. The ultimate high-power sports car, it barrels down the roadway with a force that leaves no doubt as to its storied history on racetracks here and abroad.
