Car lovers have come to define the “outlaw” term as a build that follows no rules, with its supreme aim being individuality. Now, given how Carroll Shelby grabbed an AC Cobra chassis back in the day and fitted it with American muscle to create the Shelby Cobra back in the day, it can be difficult to label one of these toys as an outlaw. Then again, the model pictured in this rendering might just fit that description.
Perhaps the most important feature of this bad boy is its carbon body. However, this isn’t an asset that demands the label mentioned above.
After all, the Cobra has always been about a scale-friendly nature and the wonder material we’re talking about only helps with that. Besides, carbon-bodied Cobra replicas have already been built in the real world.
Nevertheless, the outlaw nature of this monster comes from its aftermarket aura. For starters, the microscopic ride height of the vehicle comes via an air suspension. And would you look at how those wheels are buried in their arches!
While we’re talking about the rolling hardware fitted to the car, these are Volk Racing TE37s and yes, they’re also portrayed in carbon form.
The aid dam up front also makes for a standout feature, even though it might be difficult to focus on this. That’s because the headlights, which have maintained their overall shape, now sport LED graphics.
The same can be said about the rear light clusters, but, before you get to gaze at the posterior of the Cobra, your eyes might be grabbed by the golden tips of the side exhaust.
We’re looking at the work of digital artist Khyzyl Saleem, one of the pioneers of the rendering realm and, in case you’re wondering how a different face of his work looks like, this rear-engined Volkswagen Golf GTI might just do the trick.
