Racer X Design KC-427 Concept

What do you guys think? It's only ink on paper so far but I agree with (the?) Peter Brock's comments at the bottom of the page.

KC-427

A modern interpretation of the legendary Cobra 427, as seen by the Maltese designers at Racer X Design. This is the first time that
Racer X Design is showing the sketches of the KC-427 to the public.

Designed to evoke the emotions of the classic cobra, the KC-427 concept captures the beautiful design of the original while adding a
more brutal new age twist. The design is dramatic, modern yet with the same lines that made the original an icon, the KC does not try to
hide the fact that its insight comes from the 60’s. It looks ready to chew the tarmac even in design phase.

The small dimensions together with a space frame chassis consent to build a car that weighs less than a ton, even with a 7.0L V8 motor
as found on the new Corvette Z06. The result would be a car that has a power to weight ratio of around 550 bhp/ton.

The Concept car will be completed within a year, expect it to be a hit. A relatively small Company that builds one off cars for the single
enthusiast, the Racer X design team is already known for both the GTV Evoluzione and the RCX, both of which won several awards both
in design and construction.

This is also the first time that instead of building a one off, twenty KC-427’s are intended to be sold internationally. “We will start
collecting information on who might be interested in this car. The first twenty people who show interest will be offered the opportunity to
purchase the KC once the cars are ready and be updated regularly with the progress” said Reuben Zammit – Director and Head of
design of Racer X.
