Star Road

Pearl white Cobra replica with a Tricolore Italian stripe. I was stunned when I saw the car but I have a feeling this is a polarizing setup; I ran a few quick phone snaps by some of my trusted car friends and it was met with a resounding thud.

This car harkens back to the era when race car liveries weren’t defined by sponsorship but by the team or driver’s nationality. I’m definitely into the wide R888’s and matching tire stickers, plus the whole car was immaculate. It definitely encourages you to take a closer look.

Everything in the cockpit was exquisitely finished, to a much higher standard than any original Cobra. The shifter situation even in the replicas is always odd; check out that bizarre kink. But the rarest part of all? This is a Cobra equipped with a glovebox not bearing the signature of Carroll Shelby!
