Cobra

The Shelby Cobra is one of the most iconic sports cars for a reason. It follows a tried and true recipe for awesome: tiny body + huge friggin’ engine. Unfortunately, that light-weight shell sits on a chassis that was invented long before Elvis Presley ever stepped foot in Sun Records. To remedy that situation, a company by the name of CB/1 has taken it upon themselves to whip up this little number. Aside from rocking a twin-turbocharged Ford 385 ci V8 with 650 horsepower, the company has completely reworked the suspension and swapped the standard gearbox for a five-speed Porsche unit. The whole kit weighs just 2,600 lbs and can clip off the 0-60 mph in 2.85 seconds. Say g’damn. [Source: Autoblog]
