Current Cobra Replica Offerings
At Cobra Grille, we’re passionate about the Shelby Cobra legacy and the replicas that keep this legendary roadster alive today. Whether you’re building, upgrading, or maintaining your dream car, it’s important to understand the unique differences between the leading replica manufacturers. Below, we highlight the current offerings from Backdraft Racing, Factory Five Racing, and Superformance—three of the most respected names in the Cobra world.
Backdraft RT3 and RT4
Backdraft Racing’s RT3 and RT4 Roadsters are one of the most refined Cobra replicas available today. Built on a BMW-based independent suspension, it delivers modern handling with classic looks. The car comes as a turnkey minus, allowing owners to select their preferred drivetrain. Backdraft’s reputation lies in its excellent fit and finish, making the RT model a top choice for enthusiasts who want a ready-to-drive Cobra replica with performance and comfort built in.
Factory Five MKIII and MKIV
The Factory Five MKIII and MKIV Roadsters are one of the most popular Cobra kit cars in the world. Known for a strong chassis, modular options, and competitive pricing, the MK model gives builders the freedom to create a car that’s uniquely theirs. From weekend warriors to professional-level builds, Factory Five’s kit is highly customizable, offering everything from bare-bones packages to complete component kits. The MKIII and MKIV capture the raw essence of the Cobra while giving builders maximum flexibility.
Superformance MKIII
The Superformance MKIII Roadster is widely considered the closest replica to the original 1960s Cobra, officially licensed by Shelby. Unlike kit-based offerings, the MKIII comes as a factory-built rolling chassis, ready for drivetrain installation. With meticulous attention to detail, period-correct components, and FIA approval for authenticity, the Superformance MKIII is the choice for purists who want the most faithful continuation of the Cobra legend.
More Models Coming Soon
We’re constantly expanding our product line to meet the needs of Cobra enthusiasts. In addition to the Backdraft RT3, Backdraft RT4, Factory Five MKIII and MKIV, and Superformance MKIII, we are working on adding more replica models to our offerings. As the Cobra community continues to grow, our goal is to provide grille solutions for every popular replica on the market.
Grille Kits in More Sizes and Patterns
Your Cobra deserves a grille that matches both form and function. That’s why we’re developing grille kits in various sizes and patterns, giving you more ways to customize the look of your roadster while protecting your radiator. Whether you prefer a traditional style or something bold and unique, we’ll have an option to suit your build.
Custom Sizing Templates Available
