I'd say someone is going to lose their job after they find out who took those pics!
But yeah, it is awesome looking.
-
Airbus makes a car?
-
kinda looks like Aston Martin inspired parts of it.
I like it, but i would need some time to get used to the rear end.
-
looks like a ricer got a hold of a corvette and bolted on a bunch of junk..
-
Beautifull.
Specs?
It kind of looks like the one off Le Mans Cobra coupe from the sixties.
-
Does it have a good stereo and is it comfortable as you'll have to sit in it for a long time in the usual Traffic Jam!?
:lol
-
Wonder if it has a bigger fuel tank then the chopper sized joke in the GT40. Not that I'll ever be in the position to worry about it. For that kind of money I'd rather have one of these with high skids.

Maybe but it's one of the most nimble and fastest helicopters ever made and alot more fun then any car/bike.. And a pure joy to fly. Plus the RAF were flicking them off near new condition for only 100k stirling.
Bargin imho.

The rear end of the car looks to be inspired by the original GT40, while the front is definately Aston Martin inspired.
The tires on it suggest it might be a little speed demon.
-
Why did they call it a "Shelby"? Gay name for a cool looking car.
-
Paying homage to the original GT-40's which Shelby did have a hand in and if the size looks right the name could hint at Shelby-like performance.
Not sure why you would say it is a gay name. Carroll Shelby's name is one of the most respected names in the automotive industry.
-
Nice looking ride.
Glad I wont be the one feeding it.
How many gallons to the mile you think it gets? LOL
-
skyprancer... what is all this traffic you talk about? is england really that bad?
lazs

Was roped off, didn't get to see the interior, but it looks fast.

I always thought that Carroll was a girls name until i saw it typed. First time i heard the name was in "gone in 60 seconds" or something. Second time was on a Dicovery show awhile ago about designing a Shelby prototype, but that was a convertible and didnt look anything like the one in these photos.

Reminds me of "Sheldon" ala "When Harry Met Sally".
"Do me Sheldon, Drive me Sheldon"
Seeing that the guy who came up with the car has Carroll as his first name makes me want to say "I rest my case."
:D ;)

Lazs dunno about England in its entirity but Birmingham City Centre most City centres are traffic full , oh and the M6 and M25.
Plus I noticed on my traffic dodging ride to work this morning another one of Mr GATSO's speed cameras has appeared.
I prefer my suicidal dangerous antisocial bike thanks Lazs. It gets me there quicker costs me less and goes virtualy as quick ( but not past those bloody cameras )

Shelby Cobra 427. Woof!
What you just said is akin to someone telling Bob Shaw he looks like a pixie.

Carroll Shelby was a great driver in the 50- 60's until a heart conditon forced him to quit. He decided to switch to building cars.
-
Is it a Cobra rpm?
-
Yeah. Had to pull the other pic.

This is the Cobra i saw on the Discovery show.

My how soon some forget the Shelby Cobra Daytona (65 or 66). This car has NOTHING to do with Aston Martin. I stood a foot from it back in January.
605HP, V10 under that All-Aluminum body. Production model will be priced around $75,000, and have around 500-550HP.

Swoop...I'm not commenting on the car...just the name.
I'm not understanding your point re Bob Shaw. ;)
Hey...sue me. I think a "Shelby" SOUNDS worse than a Pinto (for example).

Forget it? I never heard of it!
And it does look like a DB9 from the front no matter what it's supposed to be based on.

iirc that's the Shelby Cobra GT concept. Saw it in person. While it dwarfed the Lotus Exige, it was still really small & cramped looking, just like the original 427 Cobras :)

I thought that was the Series 1.

This is a Series 1. It looks like the bastard offspring of a Corvette & a Miata.

Ahh there it is. I couldn't tell in the other pic. Yeah the one is the Shelby Cobra GT. There was a Motor Trend article on it, I remember now.
-
Looks like the Chrysler Firepower

Same vein as the ME412

I think the front looks more BMW Z8ish
