Anyone know anymore about this future model?

Do you mean the DRB Cobra RS (Rattle Snake)? Their new model with the new Ford Coyote motor? Has side pipes that can be switched in and out for track and street use and is/will be 900kgs, reportedly.

Sorry,yes that one .

Only what is on their site. I am not sure if they have orders, but a Cobra with carbon fibre and less than 1000kgs and with between 415 and 645HP from the new Ford Coyote - should do well!

Looks good on paper.
Also has traction control/abs and optional sequential box and supercharged.I wonder how much they will be

The traction control is interesting. Maybe they are seeing that as part of their future.

I guess if they build new cars with modern engines with big horsepower,they have a responsibility to provide some sort of safety net.
Abs braking is also a interesting feature .

The 540 has traction control.

I am guessing they will use a falcon / FPV as a donor car, that way theycan use all the factory goodies ie traction ABS etc
