MK III S/C

MK III S/C

A new generation of classic muscle!

What makes the MKIII so much better than its competitors? It looks like an exact replica should. It is sure-footed, reliable and is as exciting as the great sport roadsters of the sixties. Each rolling chassis comes completely assembled and painted, less engine and transmission.

The Superformance MKIII is engineered with emphasis on performance, reliability, authenticity, driveability and great handling. The MKIII stops shorter, rides and handles better, and depending upon the engine you install, will out-run a race-prepped original.

The Superformance MKIII is available in both S/C and Roadster (undercar exhaust) versions and is the ONLY Cobra replica built under license from Carroll Shelby Licensing Inc.
