Looks like a great way to keep some heat in and rob yourself of a few hp.
Leave the covers off and be proud to run an LS1  |

And the best part is it comes with a CD that makes true Lambo sounds to really confuse and fool onlookers!!! 
Stupid. After all that work on the car just by a REAL car. |

To be honest I think I would prefer the loss of HP and Lambo looks to putting a ford in my Cobra  |

Do they make a windsor engine cover as well?
They even made provision for 2 fake exhaust pipes on either side

faux V12
For all the expense and trouble of trying to make GEN III engine look like a
12 cylinder, you might as well get a real V12 to put in your Lambo replica.
Jag, BMW, and Mercedes V12's aren't that hard to find, albeit at a price
and the sound will be right.

Several reasons I would imagine.
The Gen III is lighter, more reliable, has higher potential Hp per dollar and meets emmissions standards!

Thought about bringing in a Toyota V12 when building the last Cobra. Would have been really cool. I think it would work out to the same price as what Gen III's go for here now. We went elcheapo and used Toyota 1UZFE instead.

Exactly why it's a popular choice at the moment. |

I didn't know Toyota made a V12
That would've been cool.
Craig, what car used the V12 and do you know any specs off hand?
Thanks

Gotta luv google
I found this
Only ever produced in the Toyota Century
"The 2nd Gen has the 5.0L 1GZ-FE V12, DOHC, 4V/cyl with VVT, and as per that Japanese limit, only makes ~280hp. Torque is 355lb-ft."
So that 206kw
I'm guessing just the 4.0 V8 there's plenty of potential |
