Default May 11 Street Machine: Cobra

Hey Guys, just looking through May edition of Street Machine (P98) and there is an insane Cobra out of Sweden in it.

Any issues getting this registered?

Blown V12 Merc putting out 600Hp.

U gotta love the Swedes .... those long winters can be boring. We would need more than a CCC "Action Group" to get that registered. We would need a government coup!

Cant find a way to download a picture of this cobra that is for sale in the states but worth a look.

Check out how thin those chassis rails are. I don't think it's going to pass the Aussie torsion and beaming tests

Wouldn't the fact it has two handbrakes be enough to freak the assessors out? ;-)

Here's a video.

YouTube - Superior Choice Elmia 2K10: Magnus Jinstrands Cobra V12 - With startup and engine sound!

From what I've read elsewhere it's a DAX.

Looks cool, but blows more smoke than our president. I think one of you should buy it and then post the video of you trying to get it registered. Could be good fun!

The satin paint and blacked out windscreen frame looks cool.

See the way they have blended the windscreen into the ebay cobra. Neat little trick. Thats about all i like on it though.

That blending looks like a whole lot of bog...it just falls back to the original shape 2 to 3" forward.
The seal looks like a little bead of silastic. The first side on pic looks a lot like your avatar...JADA ?
