Australian Ford made Cobras? 2007 models
OK, it's not two seat Cobras a la '62-;67 AC Cobras
but instead sedans and a pickup truck called by type a "ute"
Way back in '77 Ford had a hot model called the Ford Falcon XC Hardtop that won Australia's Bathurst 1000 . That car was followed up in the showroom iwth a Cobra hardtop.
The engine sounds pretty hot--it's called the Boss 302, and is a 5.4-liter 32-valve V8 engine rated at 405 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque.
Once a few years ago, Shelby was mad at Edsel Ford II for proposing some sort of Shelby-themed car in Australia but now that EF and CS are bosum buddies again, presumably this Australian venture is A-OK. Let's just hope the engine makes it here on some over-the-counter parts list if not the whole car....
If you want to see pictures of it we saw them on Edmunds.com website
