Silly or Sexy? Weineck Cobra 780CUI Limited Edition
I generally dig Cobras but...
The German tuning company has not released 0-100km/h performance numbers because apparently they are not relevant. Instead, the Weineck Cobra 780CUI will rocket from 0-200km/h in 4.9 seconds, and does the 0-300km/h dash in 10 seconds flat.
The 12.9-litre V8 engine can rev to 8000rpm, developing peak power of 809kW or 1100hp @ 7000rpm, which would be enough energy to power a small village in Iceland.
Torque levels for the old-school engine are even more stunning - 1760Nm @ 5600rpm.

No more Miata
0 - 124 MPH in 4.9 seconds?0-200km/h in 4.9 seconds
That's insane.

Not liking the scoop, but performance wise, that's pretty sick.

They know it can't turn since its based on an American design so they said nuts to it and slapped that big honkin' scoop on it

SO I could sell it to finance my Wiesmann or Tommy Kaira ZZII..... now THOSE are cars
Not a problem... every drag strip I have ever been to featured left turns in and out of the strip. I can't imagine this car will be much good for anything else.
Funny you should say that, since the original Shelby Cobra was a British car (an AC Ace), with a Ford V8 stuffed under the hood.They know it can't turn since its based on an American design so they said nuts to it and slapped that big honkin' scoop on it

I was thinking the same thing... I wonder, too, if it wouldn't be reasonable to have the 427 badge on it since the later Shelbys with the 427 had a significantly different body design that the original 289s. One could theoretially call it the "427 Cobra body design."Funny you should say that, since the original Shelby Cobra was a British car (an AC Ace), with a Ford V8 stuffed under the hood.
In fact, I snagged a ride in a vintage racing Cobra in the early 90s (while working an SCCA race at Ardmore, OK), and it was refered to as a "427-style body" even though it had a 302.

Ya, there is a very noticable visual difference between the 289 Ace and the 427 SC. I personally like the 289 AC Ace design better, not as muscular but has that classic flow to it where as the 427 is obviously pumped up by American muscle.
