What ever happened with the 2015 Mustang GT "King Cobra"?

[Cobra Jet]

If anyone recalls all the press on this vehicle, it was the 2015 Mustang GT "King Cobra", with 600HP.

A GT Buyer could have opted to chose the exact parts on this SEMA S550 from Ford Performance to replicate that exact vehicle's features. There was supposed to be (3) buildable versions available:
- Drag Pack
- Handling Pack
- Super Pack (3-liter Twin Vortices Series (TVS) supercharger co-developed by Ford and Roush)

What ever happened with this SEMA model? Was it scrapped?

This is NOT to be confused with the standard body-in-white "Cobra Jet". The Mustang GT "King Cobra" and the Cobra Jet were (2) totally different vehicles.

Not sure what happened to the King Cobra but a guy I know has a line on one of the 2015 Body in White CJ’s. Haven’t heard if he pulled the trigger or not…

It appears nothing CJ. We certainly didn’t get the packages and who knows where the original car is.

But I did find the original M6G thread.

Thanks for that thread link!

Seems that thread kind of ended with no further info...

Knowing Ford, they likely crushed it. Unfortunately.

Thanks for the link, it was an interesting read. Seems that most at the time didn’t read the text but looked at the pictures and came to the conclusion it was going to be a RPO. Fwiw, as a concept car, I liked it and it’s a shame that the various packages mentioned didn’t come to fruition.

I wish Ford had a prototype museum. I'd love to see things like this, the SVT ZX2, 2000's Cougar Eliminator.

Just cool cars that never really made it to production but were close.
