All 2000 Cobra R models were finished in Performance Red (ES), and this example wears racing decals. Additional exterior features include a “power dome” hood, extended side skirts, a removable front splitter, and a fixed rear wing. The front bumper cover is equipped with integrated brake cooling ducts, and the aftermarket Bassani side-exit exhaust system includes dual polished tips ahead of each rear wheel.
Factory 18″ aluminum wheels are mounted with 255/40 BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDW tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs paired with Brembo four-piston front calipers. The Cobra R package specified an independent rear suspension system along with stiffer Eibach springs, larger anti-roll bars, and Bilstein Monotube dampers. The body was lowered for track use.
The cabin features manually-adjustable Recaro sport seats upholstered in Dark Charcoal fabric and fitted with Simpson racing harnesses. Amenities include an added roll cage, alloy pedals, remote keyless entry, and power windows and door locks. To save weight, the Cobra R was not factory equipped with a stereo, rear seats, or air conditioning.
The leather-wrapped Cobra steering wheel frames a 180-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer indicates 3,800 miles, approximately 200 of which were added under current ownership.
The 5.4-liter DOHC V8 was rated at 385 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque when new and features forged aluminum pistons, performance camshafts, an aluminum radiator, and a power steering cooler. An oil change was reportedly performed in October 2021.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. An aluminum flywheel was fitted as standard equipment along with a side-exit dual exhaust system featuring a Bassani X-pipe and Borla mufflers. A rear differential cooler is said to have been installed.
A Ford Special Vehicle Team certificate, as well as a binder of service records, race time sheets, and the window sticker, accompany the car.
