The strongest version of the car is the AC Shelby Cobra 427. The engine is a 7-liter OHV with 425 PS in the standard version and 485 PS in the competition version for racing. The body has been thoroughly strengthened to handle that power. It has been boldly updated with a double wishbone suspension and front and rear over fenders that have increased the overall width by 175 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe race did not meet the homologation deadline, and Shelby did not enter the works team, but the car's 0-60 time was in the 12-second range, and its snake dash with its tail swinging from side to side when starting captivated speed junkies around the world.
