Default Twin turbo cobra jet

COBRA JET CONCEPT


When the original Cobra Jet debuted at the 1968 Winternational’s it ushered in a new era of production-based drag racing that grew the sport and led to Bob Tasca coining the phrase “win on Sunday, sell on Monday”. This production-based philosophy led to the return of the Cobra Jet in 2008, and has proven successful with 2010, 2012 and 2013 Cobra Jet programs delivering previously unheard of performance at race tracks around the country.

Wrapped in our global Ford Racing colors, the Twin Turbo Cobra Jet Concept mates the capability of the 5.0L TiVCT engine with the technology of Ford’s turbocharger programs to create a vehicle capable of championship level performance to give our racers the winning edge. With more NHRA records and wins than any other late-model vehicle, the Cobra Jet is the standard in production drag racing and the Twin Turbo concept provides a glimpse of what the future may hold through Ford Racing.

Others may build race cars, at Ford Racing we engineer a Cobra Jet. Go Ford!"

The previous 5.4 Cobra Jet record is 8.95, so it will be interesting to see how long it takes for this to go quicker.

Weren't Watson Engineering the ones who built the EB GT engines? Or did the development on them?
