The combination led to not only probably the most powerful Cobra ever created
but also one of the most unforgiving road cars ever built
When the thunderous custom Cobra was unleashed back in the early 2000s
it would reach 124mph in under 10 seconds – putting it in the same league as the Ferrari Enzo and Lamborghini Murciélago
and even the Mercedes CLK GTR and Porsche 911 GT1
It’s worth reminding yourself that the car was based on a 40-year-old design
yet did battle with the aerodynamic elite of its day
This was down to a vast 12.9-litre V8 with 1,100bhp
twinned with an unladen kerb weight of less than 1,000kg
the Weineck Cobra used some NASCAR-spec components – for example
the V8’s 1,328lb ft of torque was delivered via a four-speed transmission with a 1,475lb ft threshold
was developed to cope with the 50ºC+ temperatures in Dubai
where one of the production Weineck Cobras was sent
Beneath the familiar curves lay an aluminium and titanium frame measuring 10cm in diameter; any less and the torsional forces of the immense V8 would have wrung the super snake out like a wet towel
Weineck sourced the largest Brembo brakes that would fill the cavity behind those knock-off wheels
15 Weineck Cobras were planned for production back in the early 2000s
the opportunity to acquire one of these rare reptiles will present itself at RM’s Rétromobile 2014 sale in February

Beim Absturz eines Segelflugzeugs ist am Sonntagnachmittag am Flugplatz von Bad Gandersheim ein 18 Jahre alter Flugschüler schwer
aber nicht lebensgefährlich verletzt worden
der allein in dem zweisitzigen Segelflugzeug war und per Funk vom Fluglehrer Anweisungen erhielt
kurz nach 15 Uhr im Landeanflug auf den Flugplatz der Kurstadt
Dabei sei das Flugzeug aus ungeklärter Ursache plötzlich abgesackt
Es berührte einige Baumspitzen und stürzte zwischen die Bäume ab
Der Flugschüler wurde von der Feuerwehr aus dem Wrack geborgen
Er kam per Rettungshubschrauber ins Göttinger Universitätsklinikum
Das Bundesstelle für Flugunfalluntersuchung in Braunschweig stellte das Wrack des Segelflugzeugs sicher
Den entstandenen Schaden beziffert die Polizei auf 60.000 Euro
