The Ford Shelby Cobra is a concept car that Ford unveiled at the 2004 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan, a roadster inspired by the original AC Cobra that AC Cars developed in 1961. Ford's Advanced Product Creation team designed and built it in five months under project leader Manfred Rumpel, as a modern interpretation of an older vehicle like the Ford GT40 concept, the Ford GT and the fifth-generation Mustang. The first Cobra put a large, high-performance Ford Windsor engine in a small roadster that AC Cars had modified at Carroll Shelby's request, and the concept follows the same formula of a massive motor in a tiny, lightweight car, leaving out air conditioning, a radio, anti-lock brakes and even windscreen wipers. Its all-aluminium V10 engine displaces 6.4 litres and produces 645 horsepower, or 481 kilowatts, at 6,750 rpm and 501 pound-feet of torque, redlining at 6,800 rpm.
