A Glimpse into Daytona Coupe History:
Originally crafted for the 1964-65 racing season, the six Daytona Cobra Coupe factory racers were built on 289 Shelby Cobra roadster chassis to challenge Ferrari’s 250 GTO. Their debut year saw victories at Sebring and a 4th overall finish at Le Mans. Despite Ferrari’s attempts to block their success, the Daytonas emerged victorious, winning the 1965 FIA World Manufacturer’s GT title under Alan Mann’s racing team.
Superformance has faithfully re-created this iconic racer. The licensed product, designed by original team members Peter Brock and Bob Negstad, features sleek lines, a contoured body, and improved suspension.
