Cobia cars- a beginning

[750hp]

Seeing it all laid it like that reminds me of the life size Airfix-style DBR1 model that was on display at Goodwood a few years back.



Looking forward to seeing one sitting on its wheels. I'm still trying to imagine what a 2/3 scale car will look like with 100mm ground clearance.

It will be fun to see how this project turns out.

Assuming you've already seen both of these:
Cobra GolF Karts already exist:




But closer to this, Japanese "baby Cobras" running a turbocharged, 720cc mill with 158 horsepower. Don't know the scale, but kinda cool too. I'd like to see one next to a full size.

Have not seen these, very impressive, one big difference is im intending on that you will get one of my cars on the road for less than half of that $49k price tag. Oh that and my car will have 200hp, with the ability to push that up to 500 with a turbo.

Well body is out of the mold, few mods to do but the chassis is going to be started very soon.
