A SOPHISTICATED HIGH PERFORMANCE GT
Originally referred to as the “Daytona Car,” the coupe officially earned its name while being built for the Daytona Race. These cars were built to provide a more aerodynamic Cobra, allowing Shelby American to successfully compete with Ferrari on the higher speed road courses. Shelby commissioned Peter Brock to design a Coupe body for the Cobra chassis. Dubbed the Daytona Coupe, the 20 mph faster Cobra made its debut in the 1964 season. In 1965 the Coupe won eight of the eleven races it entered and it was also the first and only American made car to win the World Manufacturer’s Championship for Grand Touring Racecars.
Originally, only six Daytona Coupes were built by Shelby American who raced them between 1963 and 1965. At the end of the 1965 race season rule changes left the Cobras pretty much obsolete for racing. The Daytona Coupe transformed American road racing and has become one of the most collectible cars to currently own. Now, Shelby is recreating history with this new Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe which is the street version of the great American racer.

Join us on the grid next season. Contact us today to learn more about owning one of these epic cars.
Can confirm these cars are huge fun. Great first race in @monopostoracingclub
A last lap spin by me was not the cleverest bit of driving but running solidly until that point (circa 10th out of 51 cars).
Having only had one previous dry session in the car for 20mins at brands and never driven Silverstone GP before I was exceedingly happy with how the car performed as I learn it.
Learning points for next time: different gearing to utilise all the revs and less wing (currently in development in Australia).
If you want to race with us and have some epic on track battles, contact us today. Multiple hyper racer X1s all battling it out in a race with equal spec would be mind blowing. Let’s make it happen!
Race ready for this weekends @monopostoracingclub round at Silverstone GP. To have our first race in such an iconic circuit is the stuff of dreams. You too can race with us on historic and exciting tracks as well as hillclimbs and sprints by purchasing your very own Hyper Racer. Great value to purchase and exceeding cost effective to maintain.

Dream Car love to go in one
Good to see you and Nigel. Hope you had a great weekend. 😊
Truly amazing machines! 🙂
Few action shots of our @hyper_racer X1 in action at Brands Hatch last Friday. A lot of fun was had and the car is so capable even in challenging conditions. The test was simply to get a feel for the car and learn it and it kept delivering and inspiring more and more confidence. By the final session of the day I had drastically reduced my braking distance and increased apex speed and look forward to getting out again and pushing harder now I know the car.

Really excited to be attending @supercarfest at @sywellaerodrome with 4 cars from our range as seen in this selection of shots. Which are you taking home?
5 cars as the Daytona will be on the runway with the Sporting Bears Motor Club
Oliver Hulme nicely hulme....absolutely stunning 👌🤙👍👊
They are all absolutely stunning but I’d have to take the GT40, if pushed!
Excited to take the Spartan to the @supercardriver evening at @caffeineandmachine mid May.
