Joining an increasing array of Cobra replica builders announcing electric versions of the famed roadster, Superformance has teased its own all-electric Cobra clone that is currently under development.
The company has been building Shelby Cobra replicas for more than two decades and in a teaser video, has previewed the electric variant that it is working on. While the teaser is absent of any technical specifications, we’ve little doubt that the car will be quick. Very quick.
The Cobra featured in this teaser is painted black and from the outside, looks no different than the many internal combustion engine’d replicas there are throughout the United States. While most performance-focused electric vehicles currently on the market are all-wheel drive, we’re willing to bet that Superformance’s electric Cobra will send its power exclusively through the rear wheels.

Additionally, when you look at the sheer width of the rear tires, it’s pretty obvious it will not be short on power. Another interesting thing we’ve noticed about Superformance’s car is that the charging port is in the same position on the passenger side rear fender as the fuel cap for ICE-powered Cobra replicas from the company.
This will not be the first and only electric Cobra available. Back in July, AC Cars itself announced the Series 1 Electric, an EV variant of the Cobra that features a 54 kWh battery pack and an electric motor with 308 hp and 184 lb-ft (250 Nm) of torque. AC Cars is also launching a 617 hp electric version of the 1960s Cobra Le Mans racer.
