Shelby Cobra

The Cobra is iconic. Created by Carroll Shelby after taking a small British sports car and implanting a large Ford engine, it quickly became one of the most successful grand tourers in history. It was also greatly successful in endurance racing. A coupe version called the Daytona was also available, named after the 24 Hours of Daytona endurance race. Its legacy has led it to become the most replicated car in history, with genuine Cobras being worth millions. A King Cobra racing prototype was also created. Cobra editions of the Ford Mustang were also created. The Cobra and Daytona inspired the Dodge Viper. After the turn of the millennium concept cars were created inspired by the Cobra and Daytona but were not produced.
