Looking just like an AC Cobra 427 at a cursory glance, the Weineck Cobra is the ultimate expression of old school power, torque and lightweight construction. Where a modern ultra supercar like the Bugatti Veyron needs turbochargers to achieve its massive four-figure output, and then squanders it by weighing in at close to 2,000kg, the Weineck Cobra does the exact opposite. It boasts 12.9 litres of bespoke big block American V8 fed by a pair of the biggest Holley carburettors you have ever seen creates 1,100bhp at 7,000rpm with a stonking 1,299lb-ft of torque to propel a car weighing just 1,000kg. With the optional carbon-fibre bodyshell, the power-to-weight ratio is a stunning 0.9kg per bhp and Weineck claims 124mph in 4.9 seconds and 0-187mph in 10 seconds. |

Yes you'd just walk up to them and say: "Yes I'd like to test drive the widowmaker please"  |

An old mate of mine works with a bloke who has 2 cobras, one is similar to the one above but in standard form (about 7.2 litre) the other is the mid-engined one. Where he works (car hire place) he drivers very fast but reverses very slowely and carefully - when asked why he says "if you own a Cobra you'd drive like that..". Sets car alarms off when he starts it up.

I have always liked the Shelby Cobra 427 S/C for its its history, performance and time less beauty. I was serious about building a replica a few years ago. Something like the one above would be a great tool to blast around Wales in every sunny sunday lol and I would drive up and down multi story car parks all day long |

The air scoop (unfortunately?) is essential due to the height of the engine
They're only building 15 cars worldwide |

Looks good and the performance stats are impressive but I bet it's a nightmare to drive and impossible to use anyhting like all that power, except maybe on a drag strip. As an excercise in 'How fast can we make a road car' it was worth doing but you'd have to be mad to buy one |

Impressive. Before I bought my Omega, wandering around the Vx dealer showroom, I asked if there was any chance of test driving a Monaro while I was waiting. The receptionist and two salesmen said "what's a Monaro", the manager said "sorry, due to limited nature of production, no" Worth a try......... |
