The new Ford Shelby Cobra Concept represents the next step in the evolution of Ford’s concept vehicles, boasting an eye-catching design and impressive performance statistics. Thanks to its high-quality engineering features, which allow the Cobra Concept to be as efficient and agile as a sports car, the model is already close to production standard.
In designing the Cobra Concept, the Ford-Shelby team drew inspiration from the Ford GT production model, maximising efficiency through the borrowed suspension and space frame. Despite the differing dimensions and characters of the two cars, the engineers were able to adapt the rear-mid engine setup from the Ford GT to the Cobra Concept’s front-mid engine platform.

The major inspiration behind the Cobra Concept is the famous Cobra 427, and Ford engineers manufactured a new aluminium-block V10 engine for the latest Cobra incarnation. With a displacement of 6.4 litres, the Ford MOD family engine delivers the raw power associated with the 1960s classic. The Cobra Concept achieves figures of 605 bhp and 501 lb/ft of torque without supercharging or turbocharging.
