Ultimate Autos - Cobra
Like a coiled snake, this car scared the world's racing elite and made Carrol Shelby a household name. After becoming the second American driver to win at LeMans, Shelby's failing heart forced him out of racing in 1959; but that didn't stop him from looking for a way to stay in the sport. The result was the fastest production car ever produced. We'll see how Shelby's Cobra and its offshoots won countless races, vaulting Shelby into the stratosphere of automotive legend.
