Custom Built Superformance MKIII Cobra R 5.2L Aluminator 5-speed

Historically, Cobras were built with a singular focus. They were designed to get around a track as fast as possible without breaking anything in the process. But, as the Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said, “Everything changes, and nothing stands still”. These days, Cobras have evolved to not only be great track cars, but also great investments, storied show cars and exceptionally fun cruisers. Speaking of fun, show worthy classics that can still kick asphalt at the track, check out this fully sorted, one-owner Superformance Mk III. Since you can already see the car's aggressive aesthetics, and you already know that Superformance builds the only Shelby-licensed Cobra replica on the market, the show and go parts of the equation are obvious. What isn't so obvious is the 5.2 liters of modern Aluminator power, a tough Tremec 5-speed and a long list of performance upgrades that make the car a standout. Looking for a top-notch Cobra that's ready to rock and roll? Look no further than this little piece of Impact Blue glory!

SUPERPEARANCE

Striking pigment and monotone black trim is only part of this beast's uncanny allure. The car's acute build, supplemented with a build out by Olthoff Racing, simply nails the details! Up front, an aggressive front spoiler, quick jack bumpers, clear parking lamps and black-trimmed halogen headlights frame racing style striping. A small hood anchors an integrated scoop in front of locking latches, blacked wipers and a black-trimmed windscreen that's dressed in tinted visors and clear wings. The sinister black treatment is further extended to the rollbar, side pipes and side mirror. And at the back of the car, traditional taillights, Monza-style fuel filler and a second set of quick-jack bumpers finish off the racing aesthetic.

COYOTE ALUMINATOR POWER

Tilt this roadster's lightweight hood and you'll find 5.2 liters of cutting-edge Ford heat.

Ford Performance has taken the technology and hardware developed for the latest Shelby GT350 Mustang and created the ultimate, naturally aspirated, 5.2L cross-plane crankshaft crate engine. With a rating of 580 horsepower at 7,800 RPM, the new Aluminator 5.2 XS is the most powerful naturally aspirated modular crate engine ever built by Ford Performance.

Every Aluminator is hand assembled by the same technicians that built the Mustang Cobra Jet drag racing engines. Premium aftermarket components are used to ensure durability, like; unique Manley connecting rods, ARP rod bolts, Mahle forged pistons, forged steel crankshaft sprocket, and billet oil pump gears. Unique components developed specifically for the Cobra Jet racing program are used including Cobra Jet short runner-high RPM intake manifold, 1517 CFM dual 65mm Cobra Jet throttle body, and high RPM pulse ring.

Ford Performance Engineers developed a balanced combination of high end, 580 horsepower and strong mid-range torque with the Cobra Jet intake manifold, unique camshafts and fully CNC ported GT350 cylinder heads.

Cooling comes courtesy of a beefy aluminum radiator and auxillary oil cooler supported by dual electric fans. Ceramic-coated headers jettison spent gases in to 2.5-inch ceramic coated side-pipes. Aesthetically, the big mill, looks right at home in the tidy engine compartment. And well-planned details, like stainless guards, braided fluid lines and polished Wilwood brake reservoirs, are both functional and appealing.

CLEAN AND CAPABLE

Fully sorted and ready to roll, this roadster's Superformance heavy wall Jig-welded frame and fully independent suspension are primed for cruising or sprinting. The big engine spins its big power through a Tremec TKX 5-speed. Turns come courtesy of power rack-and-pinion steering. Solid stops are provided by power-assisted Wilwood calipers, which clamp four vented discs. Torque meets the tarmac through attractive 18” pin-drive knock-off wheels, which twist Continental Extreme Contact Sport 2 tires.

LEATHER AND FRESH AIR

Cobra interiors have always been stylish and simple, and one look inside this roadster reveals just how serious the car's aspirations are when it comes to being driver-focused. Leather-wrapped buckets stretch tight hides under sturdy racing style lap belts. In front of those seats, a leather-wrapped dash hangs a clean combination of Smiths and Lucas telemetry between a locking glovebox and metal “AC” foot pedals. The driver spins a polished and leather-wrapped steering wheel. And the passengers stow cargo in a fully finished trunk.

A track-bred Cobra that's civil enough to parade down Main Street, who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? Don't miss your opportunity to own this spectacular Superformance roadster!
