The Shelby Cobra was a Anglo-American sports car built in the 1960s. It was not the first car to combine a lightweight European chassis and aluminium body with a big American V8 engine, but it is possibly the most famous. The later, larger-engined cars are still among the highest-performing road vehicles ever sold.

The Cobra is probably the most cloned car in history; an astounding number of replica Cobras have been produced, to the extent that the originals are in a minority. Some are Shelby Cobra lookalikes, while others are perfect replicas in every detail. In some ways it could be argued that the best of the modern examples are superior to the original, having the benefit of decades of engineering advances and refinement. In 2004, Sports Car International named this car number two on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s.
