Lightweight (1990)
Under Autokraft’s stewardship, a Lightweight Cobra model was introduced to appeal to those who might have bought an S/C in the 1960s. Weight was reduced by 264 lb to 1070kg (2354 lb) and power for the 302ci (4.9-liter) V8 was increased to 375 hp. The engine featured alloy cylinder heads, Holley four-barrel carburettor, and the catalytic convertors were removed to make the exhaust more free flowing.
Unveiled at the 1990 Geneva Motor Show, the Lightweight found a handful of eager buyers in Europe, but it didn’t meet US standards, so its market was limited.
