Superformance MkIII AC Cobra. Silver Anniversary Diamond Edition, SPO#2244

Superformance is today's preeminent Cobra manufacturer. Every Superformance Cobra is factory assembled, less engine and transmission, at Hi-Tech Automotive in South Africa. It's the only Shelby-licensed Cobra replica on the world market—manufactured from the ground up with all brand-new components to ensure that every part fits and performs as it's supposed to, and engineered with all modern CAD technology in suspension and braking.

The Silver Anniversary/Diamond Edition AC Cobra was a one-time–only commemorative car, engineered and built by Superformance. There were only 50 of the Silver Anniversary cars ever built; this is #41, built in 2005.
