It looks like a little car that swallowed a very big engine and that's kind of what it is. Yes, the Shelby Cobra's truly iconic body was actually a British import, but this car's got an American Ford engine and it's the product of one very American man's obsession with speed. (That's Carroll Shelby, if you didn't know.)
