Gandersheim, Germany is the home of Weineck Engineering, builders of some of the fastest road legal cars in the world. In 2006, Weineck created a Cobra replica with a massive 12.9 liter V8 engine.
The first turn of the key activates a gigantic high-pressure fuel pump. To tromp and release the accelerator pedal means more than half a liter of finest nutrition (fuel) have arrived inside the ultra high-performance carburetor system to feed Weineck’s custom milled V8 engine. The next turn activates the gigantic starter motor to spin the crankshaft resulting in an latent idle of 1000 rpm.
Even up to 4000 rpm, the Weineck Cobra 780 cui accelerates faster than any other supercar when fully driven. The accelerator pedal always has to be operated very gently and with respect. The world’s most powerful, strongest & best accelerating road-legal car and its absent of aids from the digital era like ASR, ESP, ABS etc.
Above 5000 rpm the engine delivers its world record torque of 1300 ft.lbs (1,760 Nm) at 5600 rpm. The rev limiter is set to cut in at 8000 rpm and the engine reaches its maximum power of 1,100 hp at 7000 rpm. Infact, the engine revs faster than the classic Smith instrumentation can follow!
However, power is nothing without control. That is why the Weineck Cobra 780 cui is built using a MIG welded, self-supporting tubular frame with a 4 inch diameter to absorb very high torsion forces created by the engine. Additionally, its body is deep drawn from carbon composite materials for maximum rigidity.
Single wheel suspension including a continuously variable coil spring system in conjunction with a specially engineered Brembro brake system guarantees an individual set-up suiting individual driver’s preferences resulting in high-precision driving and braking.
The 4-speed extra high-performance gearbox, driveshafts and rear axle (equipped with a 75% limited slip differential) are designed for more than 2000 Nm of torque.
The interior of the Weineck Cobra 780 cui Limited Edition is designed individually to meet any customer’s wishes. Normally, finest British leather is used for the upholstery of the seats. All colors, pipings and sewings can be individually chosen. The rest of the passenger compartment is finished by using velours carpets. For the dashboard, classic Smith instruments are used. In case of rain, the car is equipped with a soft top to protect both the driver and the interior. A fixed hardtop is also available.
