Regrettably the Shelby Cobra created too much drag to achieve the top speeds on the Mulsanne Straight needed to beat Ferrari in the GT Class. Enter the Daytona Coupe: with its aerodynamic hatchback shape and new top speed, it not only won the 24 Hours of Le Mans but also went on to make Shelby the first American constructor to win the FIA World Sportscar Championship in 1965.
