History of Cobra

The history of Cobra replica cars dates back to the 1960s, when Carroll Shelby's iconic racing car - the Cobra - became popular among car enthusiasts. However, due to limited production, high maintenance costs, and scarcity, many enthusiasts were unable to acquire the original Cobra. As a result, replica manufacturers sprang up to produce affordable and accessible versions of the car.

One of the earliest and most famous replica manufacturers was AC Cars Limited, which partnered with Carroll Shelby to produce the original Cobra in the 1960s. Following the success of the Cobra, companies such as Fiberfab, Kirkham Motorsports, Superformance, and Factory Five Racing began producing replicas in the 1980s and 1990s.

With advances in technology and materials, Cobra replicas continued to evolve, with many manufacturers incorporating modern engines, transmissions, and suspension systems. Today, Cobra replica cars are a vibrant part of the automotive industry, with thousands of enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.

While some replica manufacturers face legal challenges from original car makers, the popularity and demand for Cobra replicas continues to grow, with many models considered highly valued by collectors and enthusiasts.
