The splinter at the front looks a bit daft but the rest of the car looks amazing. The colour is perfect. The v12 must make it very heavy though at the nose.
Still it's unique and I'd love to own it. The a.c. cobra is in my top 3 cars and I reckon the replica are better as well. Simply stunning cars.

Gorgeous car, always loved the cobra, I like the hard top better though

Yeah the hard top does look good. Flows really well with The body. Reminds me ever so slightly of the z3 m coupe

I'd want to be seeing more than 600 brake from a supercharged Merc V12, that seems a bit slack to me. You can get 500 reliable brake from a n/a small block V8 so why go to all the effort of a V12? I think it looks gross to be honest but it takes all sorts I suppose.

I agree, even 600-700bhp is easy enough with a small block V8 and at I bet a much lower price, mind you, I bet the V12 sounds nice and has some torque.

Each to their own but personally with the budget he obviously had, I'd have gone with an all alloy turbo small block.
