The Robnell was using Ford 429 Aluminim head HP engines with Motec Computers & 8 throttle body injection. Then in 1999 wnet to 4.6 Quad cam Ford Mustang engines with a completely new revised lighter chassis to complement the new engine.This was the best Robnell ever built and only a a hand full were completed before they closed the doors.At one time there was a new high performance world car being built with a mayor car company but promised funding never never happened and neither did the car. SUCH IS LIFE.

I think it looks great and can’t wait to see the first one on the road.Hope we will be updated with the progress as this looks like its going to be a collector’s item. If the price is right I’m interested.

Closest I been to anything Keith Black is his pistons! How much for one of his engines? I cant remember?

Upgraded to JEs though on Carrillo’s …..I thought they where better.

I agree BM they should have used a Ford engine.. as I recall JC mentioned that Koenigsegg use a Ford 5L V8

If you want to go completely OTT how about Porsche leMans V10; a Bugatti Veyron Engine or even a Keith Black Engine similar to that in Ben Brays 2500Hp Holden Ute

The Maltese-Cobra doesn’t look that bad. However; I still prefer the look of the original. The main reason being Why have they hidden the side exhaust pipes?
I mean the pipes would have to be one of the most distinguishing features of the Cobra as is the ovoid nuge bar and the roll bar [which you can hardly see on the newby]

By covering up the pipes it just looks like an other Kit Car.

No I’d go for the original or at least a Robnell Replica as Im sure they’d use a Ford engine.. [That V10 looks nice]

I’m not sure if Sports Car International mag is still around, that issue was from 1990.

…OOPS, so that’s the engine, a Ford 427 V10. I thought you wanted that same big old NASCAR “side-oil” 427 V8 that’s used in the old Cobra in the future HO, that can’t be right! HAHA LOL!
