Brock Coupe

The "Brock Coupe" or "Superformance Coupe" or "Superformance Shelby Daytona Coupe" is the only licensed continuation of the original Shelby Daytona coupe racing cars of the 1960's. With a body designed by Peter Brock (who designed the original race cars) and a chassis designed by the late Bob Negstad (who designed the original race chassis), it is viewed by many to be the most authentic modern continuation of the original, very limited run of Shelby Daytona coupes. It is the only Shelby Daytona coupe approved and licensed by Shelby and the only Shelby Daytona coupe side from the original half-dozen cars eligible for the Shelby Registry.

Roush is the official supplier of 50-state-legal engines for the coupe, and the majority of American owners choose a Roush engine based on a 351 Windsor block. Common displacements chosen for the car are 392, 402, and 427 cubic inches. Buyers also have a choice between five- and six-speed transmissions, the latter with a relatively wide choice of gear ratios. The car is considered by many to be an ideal compromise between a historically-correct replica and a car suitable for the modern sports car buyer. The cars occupy a pricepoint above a Porsche 911 or Aston Martin V8 Vantage but below a Lamborghini Gallardo or Aston Martin DB9 where other few front-engined GT cars with more than 500 horsepower are available.

About 130 such cars exist as of the autumn of 2007, many of them in the United States.

Example of a Shelby Daytona coupe produced by Superformance (chassis #0121, manufactured in South Africa in early 2007). This particular car is outfitted with a Roush 402SR engine and a Tremec T-56 transmission:
