2009 Superformance MKIII Special Edition Roush MKIII-R

NEWS & REVIEWS The Question: What happens when you take the most sought after 1965 licensed reproduction Cobra replica and shoehorn in an engine built by a company that has more Ford wins than any other manufacture? The Answer: You get the Roush/Superformance Special Edition MKIII-R! The Roush/Superformance Special Edition MKIII-R was built specifically to tour the country and represent the bread and butter of what Roush Performance Engines and Superformance LLC have to offer. The plan was to build a one off display vehicle, but the project’s high interest quickly changed everyone’s mind and suddenly the car was slated for production. The Special Edition car was introduced to the public at the 2007 SEMA show in Las Vegas Nevada. The MKIII-R showed the public what it has always wanted to see - two industry leaders working together to produce the best of both worlds, a stunning double diamond with the roar of a lion under the hood. A car that is truly pleasing to all of your senses! The Roush components will be available as an upgrade package that will be sold separately from the standard Superformance MKIII roadster. The interior features a set of Roush embroidered leather seats, unique gauges, billet short-throw shifter, Roush embroidered floor mats, dual gauge pod, and a serialized plaque. Customers can choose from a variety of Roush crate motors including the 427 IR V8 that is dyno tested at 576 horsepower and comes with a 2-year/24,000 mile warranty. PHOTOS: click photos to enlarge

2007 Superformance COUPE

NEWS & REVIEWS One of the world’s greatest sports cars was undoubtedly the Shelby Daytona Coupe. Back in 1964, it was America’s answer to the Ferrari 250 GTO, and on the racetracks of Europe in ’64; it narrowly missed beating the Ferrari for the manufacturer’s championship title. Fast-forward 42 years and the Daytona Coupe is back, thanks to Port Elizabeth, South Africa-based Superformance, which has created a sensational evolution of the original. Peter Brock, who designed the sensuous shape of the ’64 car, penned the lines of the Superformance Coupe, making it slightly longer, wider, and taller to enhance the lines even more. Its super-high-quality fiberglass body covers a steel space-frame chassis—a combo that makes the car both light and stiff. Take your pick from a full-house 566-bhp 427 V-8 or a more manageable 302 or 351 Windsor V-8s. Prices start at around $80,000. www.superformance.com PHOTOS: click photos to enlarge
