The Superformance MKIII-R is more than a nod to the classic Cobra, it’s a full-blown reinterpretation. This roadster brings together the best of both worlds: old-school curves with modern aggression. From every angle, the MKIII-R commands attention without begging for it.
Bold Design Meets Muscle Car Roots
This isn’t your typical Cobra replica. The MKIII-R keeps the original’s core silhouette, but adds attitude. Scalloped fenders and hood instantly elevate the aggression. Black mesh vents and a rear diffuser not only look sharp, they serve a purpose. Aero isn’t an afterthought; it’s part of the personality.
Anthracite stripes and blackout trim play off the Atlantis Blue bodywork, delivering a dark, moody vibe. The overall stance feels wide, muscular, and absolutely planted.
Power and Performance Options for Any Taste
The Superformance MKIII-R is built to handle serious power. With install kits ready for Ford’s 302, 351, 427, 428, and 460 engines, the performance is entirely up to you. Pair that V8 with either a Tremec 5-speed or classic 4-speed Toploader, and the experience is pure analog bliss.
With as little as 2,485 lbs of weight and optional big Wilwood brakes, this thing stops as hard as it goes. A rack-and-pinion setup keeps the steering tight, while custom sway bars and fully independent suspension ensure the ride stays composed through corners.
Interior Upgrades That Go Beyond Vintage
Inside, the MKIII-R surprises again. Custom French-stitched seats match the body color, and the leather-wrapped transmission tunnel adds luxury to the raw driving environment. Superformance electronic gauges give a modern twist on the classic layout.
Optional tech includes push-button start, LED headlights, and a BlueBus-ready stereo. You can even order yours with power steering and other creature comforts, though we know some purists might want to keep things raw.
Built To Be Driven, And Not Just on Sundays
Thanks to a heavy-duty TIG-welded ladder chassis with crumple zones and coil-over suspension, this isn’t just a showpiece. It’s a true road warrior. Everything from the roll bar to the Monza-style fuel cap has been crafted for performance and authenticity.
The MKIII-R might be based on a legend, but it’s engineered for the modern road. From 18″ Halibrand-style wheels to an oil cooler and stainless steel fuel tank, the whole build is about balance, form, function, and ferocity.
A Cobra for the Modern Era
The MKIII-R isn’t just a looker, it’s a performer. Whether you’re drawn to the sound of a Ford V8 or the sight of scalloped fenders in your garage mirror, this is a car that speaks to emotion and intent. Every detail has purpose. Every option has meaning.
It’s not just about owning a classic, it’s about reimagining what that classic can be today.
Summary
The Superformance MKIII-R combines modern engineering with vintage muscle car soul. It’s equal parts showstopper and track toy, built your way.
