In french, objects have a gender either masculin (male) or feminin (female). . We do not have the "neutral" gender similar to "it" to name non living objects.
To resume: elle (she), la ("the" )used for a feminine object
All car names are with the feminin gender. So when we talk about a car, we say:"La Cobra" as we would say: la Corvette, la Peugeot, la Jaguar...
