A Unique Design Collaboration & Shelby Racing Legacy
What makes this particular Cobra especially meaningful is the story behind its design.
The car's custom design and detailing were developed through a collaboration between famed architectural design firm Entasis Group and the late Rich MacDonald, a respected Superformance specialist and the son of legendary Shelby racing driver Dave MacDonald.
Dave MacDonald was one of Carroll Shelby's pioneering Cobra drivers during the golden age of American motorsports. Racing for Shelby in the early 1960s, he helped establish the Cobra's formidable reputation on racetracks across America.
His son Rich carried that legacy forward through his work with Superformance, helping enthusiasts experience the performance, craftsmanship, and spirit of the original Shelby Cobras.
Dave worked directly with this car and its design. The collaboration on this car brought together two worlds: architectural design and authentic Shelby racing heritage.
Its distinctive Grigio Silverstone finish, dramatic custom black stripes, polished metal details, black chrome wheels, and thoughtfully tailored interior create a striking balance between classic American motorsport and contemporary sophistication.
This isn't simply another Superformance Cobra. It is a personally designed example with a direct connection to the family that helped establish the original Cobra legend.
Custom-Built 427 V8 — Approximately 575 Horsepower
Following its manufacture by Superformance, this Cobra was shipped directly to V's Performance in Long Beach, California, where a 427-cubic-inch Ford V8 was professionally built specifically for this vehicle and installed as part of its original completion.
The engine features a new block, aluminum performance components, an Edelbrock performance intake manifold, and an estimated 600 horsepower.
