It excelled on tight, twisty circuits, but its aerodynamics limited its top speed on long straights such as Le Mans. For 1963, AC and Shelby built a small batch of competition cars, known as the Le Mans Coupe, with a more slippery shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe removable hardtop roof was the most distinctive feature of the Le Mans Cobras, reducing drag considerably. Other details included wider wheel arches for magnesium wheels, an engine cover scoop feeding four Weber carburettors, and a larger fuel tank. Two of these cars were entered at Le Mans in 1963, where one finished seventh overall and third in its class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bespoke, more aerodynamic Coupe body followed for 1964, creating the Cobra Daytona Coupe. Only nine genuine Le Mans Cobras were ever built, and several still compete in historic events today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShopping for the kids too?
