If imitation can be regarded as flattery, then ACCobra is undoubtedly the most flattered car in automobile history. No other vehicle has ever had so many imitation shows, and some even copied the engine without changing it. Cobra's unprecedented success in the 1960s made people ignore the fact that its factory was just an old British automobile company, which was founded in 190 1 and has been continuously producing since then. After 1992, BrianAngliss became its new owner.
Now ACCobra still uses the original tools to make it, but even small changes will make users feel friendly. Moreover, the latest lightweight Cobra is also the best model for acceleration, with an acceleration time of 4.27 seconds at 0-96 km/h and an acceleration time of 160 km/h 10 second.
The legend of Cobra began at 196 1, when CarrollShelby, a racing driver with a background of Ford Company, came to ACCar Company to discuss the adoption of Ford V8 engine in lightweight AC racing cars. This transatlantic marriage created the fastest sports car in history, and also created the moderns of Cobra. 1963, two 289Cobra appeared in the 24-hour car rally in Le Mans, France, and one of them became the first British car to complete the whole race. Later, 427Cobra ranked among the fastest production cars in the world, and won the world champion of sports cars with 1965.
In the early days, the long and narrow 289Cobra was named after its engine displacement of 289 cubic inches (4.7 liters), and it adopted an original suspension system, which was convenient for handling and grasping the ground. 1964, Shelby decided to launch a 427 cubic inch (7 liter) engine to compete with Ferrari. At this time, the chassis was redesigned. Using computer technology, Shelby and Ford jointly designed the excellent tubular frame and four-bar suspension at that time, which matched the engine with 490 horsepower and the maximum torque of 679 Nm, and was full of racing atmosphere. Today's 302-cubic-inch (5-liter) engine is installed further back, making the cobra's front-to-rear weight ratio 50/50.
The aluminum alloy body hammered by hand is excellent, and the chrome-plated part is radiant. When you enter the car, you will be immediately attracted by the carefully sewn and finely crafted leather products, and your mood will suddenly be cheerful. The door handle is also a long and narrow belt, which embodies the pragmatic concept under the noble image. The powerful V8 engine starts like thunder, especially in a relatively narrow space. The clutch is a little heavy, but it is well combined. When the throttle clutch is gently closed, the car starts to move forward, and two thick stainless steel exhaust pipes make a flapping sound. Driving on the road, with the increase of torque, the exhaust sound becomes an awesome low roar. When the pointer of the tachometer approaches the red zone, a loud noise and a feeling of pushing back are generated at the same time. The four-chamber Huali carburetor has been opened to the maximum, and the roar of the exhaust pipe has been somewhat harsh, indicating that it is time to shift gears. When cornering, it is usually necessary to enter slowly and exit quickly. At this time, Cobra's steering wheel can reflect the road conditions that the front wheels pass.
Cobra's impressive aluminum alloy body is the pinnacle of aesthetics on wheels. With the thunderous American V8 engine, it has changed a moving scenery full of excitement. For 30 years, this legendary sports car has always made people shine and swept away the haze.
