I noticed it is described as having a Monocoque-reinforced 2-inch square-tube frame
Whoever wrote that ad is an oxymoron.

Kind of cool, but I think there's already enough weight in the rear of a Cobra!

I agree Ben. I am surprised the Transmission tunnel isn't any smaller given the gearbox is at the rear. I suppose you still have the bell housing for the clutch don't you?
What I wanna see is an all-wheel drive Cobra - now that would be a nice engineering feat and would go like hell.

Frivolous Sunday morning chatter.. re the AWD option the Nissan skyline set up with a transaxel and forward running prop shaft is a good packaging option.
From a structural and usability perspective the entire chassis and suspension would need to be designed and built around the design to make it effective ... :) That said they are putting the skyline driveline in the Juke, which is not a big car at all.

It appears those tires are mounted on the wrong sides - the directional tread is facing the wrong way. |

Frame comes pre-oxidized...is that a new option?

Yup, seems like adding more weight to the back of a car that already tends to be rear heavy...and at the same time putting in a (very expensive) transmission that is already marginal for a high torque motor is questionable at best. Don't see any advantage over a standard IRS and Tremec.
