What car has a cobra-shaped logo?
2 Answers
Cars with a cobra logo are generally the Ford Shelby GT500 version. However, such sports cars are rarely seen in China. Currently, the Cobra GT500 has entered the Chinese mainland market. The Shelby GT500 version of the Mustang is equipped with a V8 5.4L supercharged engine, with peak torque reaching 691 Nm. Relevant information about the Shelby GT500 is as follows: 1. Introduction: The Shelby GT500 was unveiled at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, featuring a 5.4-liter V8 engine with a maximum horsepower of 540 bhp and maximum torque of 510 lb-ft. It is paired with a twin-disc clutch 6-speed manual transmission system, which has been upgraded for smoother shifting performance. 2. Transmission Model: The 6-speed manual transmission comes from the renowned American transmission technology company TTC (Transmission Technologies Corporation), utilizing the top-tier Tremec TR-6060 transmission from TTC's Tremec series.
That cobra-shaped emblem typically represents the Shelby automotive series, such as the classic Shelby Cobra. This logo was originally designed by American automotive engineer Carroll Shelby in the 1960s when he paired the chassis of a British AC Ace with Ford's V8 engine to create the ultra-fast Cobra. The cobra emblem symbolizes power and aggression, sounding quite intimidating, but it was actually meant to highlight the car's high performance and unique identity. Today, you can still spot it on Shelby Mustangs or some Ford performance vehicles, serving as a retro symbol. Every time I see such a car at an auto show, it evokes a strong sense of nostalgia, as if transporting me back to the golden era of racing, reminding us of the romantic side of automotive design.
