Ford engineers created a new aluminum-block V-10 to power the Ford Shelby Cobra concept.
This 6.4-liter engine delivers 605 horsepower and 501 foot-pounds of torque -
without the aid of supercharging or turbocharging.
The rear-mounted six-speed transaxle is identical
to the high-performance unit in the Ford GT.
The concept car has a theoretical top speed of more than 260 mph,
electronically limited to 100 mph.
It weighs slightly more than 3,000 pounds and is about as long as a Mazda Miata.
There's no roof, no side glass, not even a radio,
a "massive motor in a tiny, lightweight car." said Carroll Shelby.
