Coyote Cobra: Superformance MKIII roadster powered by the Mustang's 5.0L V8 [w/video]

 

We were with the Coyote 5.0-liter V8 the second we got excited behind the wheel of the 2011 Ford Mustang GT. We described the 412 hp engine as "a cup of pure honey" and "exhilarating"and said that the "5.0-liter V8 pulls like a jet plane." With a curb weight of only around 3,600 kilograms of the Mustang GT is not as bloated as the Camaro, but by no means a lightweight. We want the 5.0L even more if they had to press less mass?

That's what Superformance had in mind with his latest creation. The manufacturer of Shelby Cobra replicas installed a licensed Coyote 5.0-liter engine box in one of his MKIII Roadster, whereby a combination of classic design with the best modern drives Fords. The motor wedges harmoniously in the front of the car, and only a custom air intake and headers all that is needed to have everything to make them fit.

We stopped by Superformance to get a closer look at the car and came away with a few photos and even some videos of him in action. Check out the high-res gallery of the car in and follow the jump to watch the video and hear what sounds like the coyote 5.0-liter V8 as without silencers.
