Default Real Cobra?

Is this a real cobra?



Article....

Christian Audigier shows off stunning new model (and his girlfriend too) during casual drive in Ibiza | Mail Online

I'm curious about the two fans up front - were they an option on real Cobras or simply an add-on on this one? Although, I don't really like the look.

...and guessing he may get 500 miles on those front tires with the present alignment.

Slight negative camber on the front wheels and no, it's not real.
Dual fans were used on some (not sure if all) S/C models. Ron can probably clarify.

Nope. Dual fans were never offered on the comp or S/C cars from the factory. They came with a single fan mounted on a square bracket ahead of the radiator. But since they were essentially ineffective, many owners retrofitted their cars with a better set-up, which was often 2 larger fans. It was later realized that puller fans (behind the radiator) worked much better than pushers (ahead of the radiator) since the former moved air more effectively through the cooling fins, hence many have since been fitted with these as well.

I would say it's a FFR from the pads under the front turn signals. But, there may be other replica models that mold a turn signal pad beside FFR.

I stand corrected. Those are the facts you can bank on!

Wow - no kidding. Looks like a decal applied over the scope or something.

I agree with that verdict. Sumos are very much at the budget end of the scale and that doesn't even look like a good example of a Sumo.
Here's a link to a newspaper article with some extremely lazy journalism:

Fake Cobra

Real Babe

If that's "slight negative camber" I'd hate to see major negative camber.


Nice shot though.

Not real - looks like my son did the hood alignment. And as someone else said - those front tires are not long for this world with that alignment!!

Check out those pipes. Do you think he has a V-2 under that hood?
