Ornata Motors Brings Back An American Legend

Ornata Spitfire

For those not familiar with the Shelby Cobra for sale, at your leisure you should dive into the AC Cobra Wikipedia page. The car is powered by a Ford V8 engine and has been sporadically produced in the US and UK dating back to 1962. A new company based in Utah is changing the game by offering affluent clients the opportunity to own a brand new replica of a 1965 Shelby Cobra. Ornata Motors is combining all the advancements made in the automotive industry over the last 50 years with a lot of classic experiences that are missing from current sports cars.

Ornata Motors is producing a limited production series of high performance sports cars that will include 3 different models, the Spitfire, Thunderbolt and Lightning. The company has just completed a Spitfire this past week, the photos in this article are of that exact car. Ornata Motors recommends you go with a Dyno tested, custom built Ford 306 high performance engine that pushes out 370 horsepower and 350 ft/lbs of torque. The timeframe to order a new Spitfire is approximately 2 months and the new owners will be able to customize the color combination and custom options to their desired specification.
