The unique car will be sold at auction in Monterey, California. It is a 2004 Ford Shelby Cobra, inspired by the AC Cobra (Daisy).

The design and production of the car was approved by Carol Shelby and supervised by former vice president of product development Chris Theodore and vice president of product design J. Mays.

This unique roadster is powered by a 6.4-liter V10 engine with 605 hp and 501 lb-ft (679 Nm) of torque at 5,500 rpm. The car has a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. The maximum speed of the car is electronically limited to 100 mph, although Ford claims that the car is able to reach a speed of 207 mph (333 km / h).

The current owner of the car is Chris Theodore who paid $ 825,000 for the car in 2017. Although the selling price of the Ford Shelby Cobra is not known, some appraisers estimate that the car is currently worth about $ 1.5 million.

Ford GT – Le Mansory

German company Mansory has tuned another Ford GT (Le Mansory) for 2021. After the June 2020 model, this is another example of a super car. Mansory announced a plan for three examples, two of which were presented. What the third one will look like, we’ll see.

Unlike the previous model, the new Ford GT has a carbon fiber body and a new grille. Blue has been replaced by black, while a red line extends across the entire body. On the sills upholstered in Alcantara and the rear spoiler is Le Mansory. The car got wider fenders, a double roof vent, a massive diffuser, a three-pipe exhaust system and brand new headlights, as well as new 21-inch wheels.

The interior is also a combination of red and black. The new seats have red and black upholstery with carbon fiber accents.

The new Ford GT has a 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 engine that delivers 700 hp and 620 lb-ft of torque. The top speed of this model is 220 mph, which is 4 mph more than the standard Ford GT.

It is a very expensive car, and it is expected to be worth about 2 million dollars. The asking price for the previous model is $ 1.8 million.
