Hurricane Motorsports is a US-based Cobra replica manufacturer based in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area. They offer a relatively broad five-model Cobra lineup — 427 Roadster, 427 Street, 289 Slabside, 289 FIA — plus a 356 Speedster outside the Cobra space. Their commercial pitch emphasizes "competitive, all-in pricing" and "Made in the USA" manufacturing.

Build process
Kit-based construction (implied by site navigation and build videos for owners).
Model lineup
Per the Hurricane Motorsports website:
Cobra models:
- 427 Roadster — full-fender big-block car
- 427 Street — street-trim 427
- 289 Slabside — early Cobra body style
- 289 FIA — competition-spec 289
Non-Cobra:
- 356 Speedster — Porsche 356 Speedster replica (separate program)
A five-Cobra-model lineup is broad — broader than Unique (2), ERA (3), or Kirkham (4). Indicates a product strategy of covering most variant preferences.
Body construction
Not detailed on the homepage. "Seamless body design" is mentioned as a feature but the material is not specified. To be confirmed during Phase 1.
Drivetrain conventions
Not specified on the homepage. Ford engines are the convention for the Cobra industry generally; Hurricane’s specific drivetrain options need direct review.
Pricing positioning
Hurricane explicitly emphasizes "competitive, all-in pricing" as a brand pitch. This frames them as a value-positioned manufacturer with predictable bundled pricing rather than a la carte options. The "all-in" framing matters for build articles — buyers know what they’re getting before they order.
Distinctive features
- US-manufactured — differentiator from the South Africa (Backdraft, Superformance) and Poland (Kirkham) manufacturing of the premium replica tier
- Broad Cobra lineup — 5 Cobra models, more variants than most competitors
- All-in pricing as a commercial position
- "All new parts" and "wide selection of options" claimed
- Active customer community with forum and owner resources
- "Continuous product improvements" claimed on site
Representative builds
To be cross-linked once build articles exist.
