In this exhilarating Hagerty review, the team delves into the modern marvel that is the Shelby Cobra CSX10000. A fusion of classic design and contemporary engineering, this Cobra stays true to its roots while embracing the advancements of the present day. With a Superformance chassis and a roaring Ford Coyote V8 engine under the hood, this beast delivers a hefty 460 brake horsepower, promising a thrilling ride for any enthusiast. Despite modern comforts like power steering and LED headlights, the CSX10000 retains its vintage charm, making it a standout in the world of resto mods.

The Hagerty crew explores the significance of the Shelby Register's nod to this new Cobra, highlighting its appeal to a broader audience seeking a blend of heritage and drivability. Drawing comparisons to traditional Cobras, they weigh the subjective value of the CSX10000 against its objective price tag, sparking a debate on the true essence of owning a piece of automotive history.

While facing minor drawbacks like the absence of ABS and ergonomic quirks, the Hagerty team concludes that the CSX10000's ability to evoke joy and admiration from both drivers and spectators sets it apart in the realm of classic car enthusiasts. With its captivating blend of heritage, performance, and modernity, the Shelby Cobra CSX10000 stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Carroll Shelby and the iconic Cobra lineage.
