We've had access to the Philadelphia Motors Cobra for a while now. This Sports surprised us more than the Black Mamba or the Yeovil Donna. Is it worth the price? Or should you buy a different Sports? Read ahead to find out!


I was giddy when I heard we were testing Philadelphia Motors Cobra. On the track this thing is fast. How fast? Notice there are no pictures on this page? That fast! This is one of the fastest Sports I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 201 hp @ 3713RPMs 5970 cc V6 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 142 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a 7.294s 0 to 60 mph! If this doesn't drop your jaw, the 228 lb-ft of torque will spin the earth in the opposite direction, the baby can tow 7288 lbs which is amazing! When we took the Philadelphia Motors Cobra out to the we were amazed at its ability to stick to the track. There was no need to let off the gas even on the tightest of corners. For a Sports the Cobra is extremely impressive. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!


When it comes to comforts and luxury, the Philadelphia Motors Cobra isn't going to win any awards. It barely meets what you need in a vehicle. The seats are hard and uncomfortable for long trips. Features are a little barren, but it has the basic necessities. Material quality leaves a bit to be desired. We would not pay a premium price for this interior finish, but if you're looking for A to B transportation, it is almost tolerable.

For this type of vehicle, the cargo space and practicality of this vehicle is sub-standard. At 14 cu-ft the Philadelphia Motors Cobra is bested by several models in this segment. If you need space, look elsewhere.

While not exactly handmade, Philadelphia Motors did put a bit of extra work into the Cobra and it shows. Panels actually fit and are made to last. The finish doesn't fade in the sun, and all the bolts have washers. It begs the question why buy a lower quality car every 5 years, and not buy the Philadelphia Motors Cobra which should last a few generations?


The Philadelphia Motors Cobra is easily one of the most dependable vehicles ever made, it is excellently designed, excellently produced. And with just a little TLC will last forever and a decade.

The Philadelphia Motors Cobra's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The Cobra's 14.1 mpg is one of the worst in class. This might not be troublesome when you look at the numbers, but it will be when you actually have to pay for it.

With some focus on safety, Philadelphia Motors Cobra has been able to outshine most in its class. It almost makes you believe the marketing hype that Philadelphia Motors does actually believe in the safety and security of your family.


When you drive the Philadelphia Motors Cobra you'll see other Sports on the road and think to your self: Why would anyone buy anything other than a Philadelphia Motors. Simple answer, they're stupid!
