Let's face it—a Cobra is a rare breed in just about any motorcar setting. But finished in Onyx Black with polished-aluminum true knockoffs, this beauty stands out like a crown jewel even among other first-rate Shelby serpents. However, this stunning head-turner won't bite you like some other Cobras. With a 550 hp Roush 427R and an automatic transmission built especially for the high-output powerplant, even your wife will enjoy driving it. Don't be misled by the automatic transmission—its engineering will enable you to outrun anything you'll encounter on the motorways—all the while it exudes the persona of pure stock.

Here are more specifics about this fire-breathing black mamba:
