Kwakukho iimoto ezininzi eziye zahamba ngeVeki yeeMoto zeMonterey kwaye zashiya uphawu kunye noku Ford Shelby Cobra Concept , eyaziwa ngokuba yi "Daisy", ngokungathandabuzekiyo yayingomnye wabo.
Yayiyenye "yeenkwenkwezi zenkampani" zeFandesi ye-Mecum yesi siganeko kwaye, ukuba ngumzekelo oyingqayizivele kwihlabathi (nangona kwakukho i-replicas), yayinexabiso eliqikelelwayo phakathi kwe-1.5 kunye ne-2 yezigidi zeedola.
Ayizange iphoxeke nje kuphela, ide yachukumiseka, njengoko igqithile kweli nqanaba lilindelwe yindlu yefandesi yaseMelika kwaye yaphela "ukutshintsha izandla" ngexabiso eliphakamileyo kancinci kunokuba bekulindelwe: i-2.4 yezigidi zeedola, into efana ne-euro ezigidi ezibini .
Yaziswa ngo-2004 kwiDetroit Motor Show (e-USA), le Ford Shelby Cobra Concept yaphuhliswa phantsi kwamehlo kaCarroll Shelby kunye noChris Theodore (umnini wayo kude kube ngoku…), owayengusekela mongameli wophuhliso lwemveliso yohlobo. oval blue ngelo xesha.
Injongo yayikukuba ngo-2007 yayiza kuvelisa imodeli yemveliso, umnqweno owathi wafunyanwa yintlekele yezoqoqosho ngelo xesha, yade yamisela ukuba iprojekthi irhoxiswe.
Kuba imbali yayiyiprototype eyodwa, ene-chassis ye-aluminiyam yonke, enomzimba ubukhulu becala kwi-fiberglass kwaye efana nobukhulu kwi-Mazda MX-5 "encinci".
Okuvuyisayo yinjini ye-6.4 litre DOHC V10 - nayo kwi-aluminiyam - evelisa i-613 hp kwaye inxulunyaniswa ne-gearbox ye-manual - Ricardo - enemilinganiselo emithandathu.
Ukudityaniswa komhlaba kwenziwa ngokunqunyanyiswa okuzimeleyo, okufanayo njengoko sifumene kwisizukulwana sokuqala se-Ford GT, nangona kukho ukulungiswa okuthile.
Emva kwamavili e-BBS athetha ngokusixhenxe kwakukho "ezifihliweyo" iibhuleki zeBrembo eziphezulu zokusebenza, kunye neediski ezikhupha umoya kunye ne-four-piston callipers.
Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuba, nangona i-prototype, le Ford Shelby Cobra Concept is homogated ukuba ijikeleze endleleni, "igunya" elifunyenwe kutshanje, xa lo Shelby wayese "zandleni" zikaChris Theodore.
