Will the sixth-generation Mustang mark the return of the Cobra R? Not likely if you ask us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t imagine how such a version of the 2015 Mustang would look like.
While most musclecar enthusiasts keep calling for a Mach 1 version of the redesigned Mustang, StangTV’s Don Creason believes that Ford should revive the Cobra R, a high-performance variant of the muslecar built by SVT for the third- and fourth-generation car.
Creason speculates that the twin turbo V8 “Voodoo” engine that’s rumored to be under development right now would make a perfect powerplant for a brand new Cobra R. The vehicle would be launched for the 2016 model year with at least 650 HP, he adds, while speculating some more on the vehicle’s design.
As you might have already noticed in the rendering above, the 2016 Cobra R would sports a lowered suspension, a new front spoiler, a redesigned rear wing, a heat extractor style hood, scoops for the front fenders and a side exhaust, among many other updates that you’ll find in Creason’s editorial.
What’s more, he says such a vehicle could be priced from $59,000, almost twenty grand less than the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. Although the 2016 Cobra R won’t happen, we just have to ask: should Ford develop such a car?
