This latest contribution to the fad for 're-engineering the classics' looks a bit tasty - matching a Cobra-type composite body to a 'clean sheet design' chassis, stuffed with a twin-turbocharged 6.3-litre Ford V8 and driving through a Porsche 930 five-speed transaxle.
The car is the CB1 from Bell Engineering, who says its new machine "represents the engineered blending of modern automotive and racing technology with one of the all time high performance legends, the venerable 427 Cobra."
"The ultimate performance version of this classic powered by a twin turbocharged, 385 cubic inch V8, delivering a track tearing 650hp and 640lb ft of torque," boasts the company.
"Meld this brutal power with a race designed chassis and modern suspension components for precise control, then add an ergonomically corrected cockpit and you have the most potent, most useable, most enjoyable evolution of the 427 Cobra."
How useable? Well according to the company's own estimates, the CB1 should knock off 0-60mph in 2.85secs, run 10.5sec quarter miles and pull 1.15gs of lateral acceleration.
Although this prototype has a glass fibre body, Bell says it will build customer cars in carbon or even proper 'alloominum'. You can find out more at the Bell Engineering website, but sadly not how much you're going to have to pay for this beast, as prices remain TBC.
