The legendary Shelby Cobra 427 - a sports car that's truly iconic, made possible by the incredible software tool Cinema 4D. This marvel of automotive engineering would have been the first to bear the name of Carroll Shelby's British-American roadster, designed specifically for racing and tailored for the high-end market. As one of the greatest creations from this legendary designer, the Ford Shelby 427 - a car that embodies power and prestige. The introduction of Mark III marked a significant milestone, as it required the development of a new chassis in cooperation with Ford's Detroit team. This revolutionary design incorporated thicker main tubes, measuring 4 inches (101.6 mm), up from the previous 3 inches (76.2 mm), along with coil spring suspension on all four corners. The car's aggressive stance was further enhanced by its wide fenders and larger radiator opening. Under the hood, a mighty Ford 427 cu in (7.0 L) FE engine sat proudly, boasting a single 4-barrel 780 CFM Holley carburetor that churned out an astonishing 425 bhp (431 PS; 317 kW) at 6000 rpm and 480 lb-ft (651 N-m) of torque at 3700 rpm. This potent combination allowed the standard model to reach a blistering top speed of 164 mph (264 km/h). But that wasn't enough - Carroll Shelby had bigger aspirations, and with the S/C competition model, he unleashed an even more ferocious beast, producing 485 bhp (492 PS; 362 kW) and topping out at a heart-stopping 185 mph (298 km/h).
