Shelby Daytona

The Daytona was a coupe version of the Shelby Cobra. It was named after the 24 Hours of Daytona endurance race. Like the Cobra it was successful in GT racing. The Daytona was the inspiration for the Dodge Viper. A concept car called the Ford Shelby GR-1 was created based on the Daytona, but was not produced. Other Shelby products have been named Daytona, such as the Ford Mustang.
