Shelby Heaven: Superformance opens new showroom
We are big fans of Superformance, makers of the Cobra, Daytona Coupe, and GT40 replicas that have the blessing (and licensing agreement) of Carroll Shelby. When we heard they were opening up a new showroom in Irvine, CA, we had to go check it out ourselves. Superformance has actually been in the same building for the past few years, so the location is nothing new. However, they recently decided to knock down a few walls so that they could store their beautiful and wickedly fast eye candy in something more presentable to the public. On to the photos - check out the huge gallery of photos below and pick out your dream car.

Why are so many of the cars lacking tires? Is this a security measure of some sorts?

Ya, I don't think it would pain me too much to get to drive that around for a while.
Though this kind of seems like more of a WIP storage area than a showroom... unless they intended to show certain cars at certain stages or something.
BTW... F430 in the back under the red cover? Seems a bit out of place if that's what it is.

It's not a F430, it's a 360 Modena.

give it another 25-30 years and they'll start doing recreations of the Chargers and Omni's :D

Thanks for the clarification. I knew it was one or the other but didn't bother looking up a pic to see which one.

The AC Cobra was and still is one of the best sport cars of all time. Long after people forget the latest supercar or new wave musclecar, the Cobra will live on forever!

No but if you find anything let me know.. or where to actually buy one :S
They only made like.. 500 i think? So it's going to be super hard to find.

I found these two for sale so far.

Nice, but more interested in the Omni cars. Or a Spirit R/T (a REAL one, not one where they've turbo'd up an old 4pot and stolen the Lotus heads)
