Competition in the Sports segment has just gotten a little more heated. Philadelphia Motors has launched the Cobra. Is this Sports enough to unseat the Inland Taipan or will it be worse than the 1389. Don't worry! We have the answers.

On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Cobra suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Sports. The Cobra's 261 hp @ 4387RPMs 5970 cc V6 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 6.380s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 154 mph. The Cobra is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 154 mph. Hooked up to our test trailer, the 250 lb-ft of torque were able to tow 8075 lbs. Once in a blue moon a vehicle comes around that really wows us on the track. The Philadelphia Motors Cobra is that vehicle! This Sports sticks to the road like a race car. It has so much grip that it could probably run well at Monaco! This vehicle is amazing in the turns. We drove it until it ran out of gas, that's how great it is. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Sports I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!

Once track testing was over it came time to look at the Philadelphia Motors Cobra's interior. We found that it was very bare bones. So much so that we could not stand to be in it for long. It seems Philadelphia Motors was trying to make something retro by filling the vehicle with decades old styling and gadgets. We recommend looking at other vehicles if you plan on buying a long range vehicle.

The Philadelphia Motors Cobra is not exactly roomy. You can fit normal people in it, maybe a bag or two. But not much else. You probably wouldn't want to be in it for long, and your certainly wouldn't want to use it to transport anything in bulk. The Cobra's 14 cu-ft of passenger and cargo space leave a lot to be desired. Many vehicles in its class are much more spacious. So be warned. This may not be the perfect fit for you.

Build quality of the Cobra is about what you would expect from Philadelphia Motors. We only noticed a few minor flaws in paneling gaps. There was also one or two vibration sounds in the interior. None of these flaws would be a deal breaker

The Philadelphia Motors Cobra was designed with longevity in mind. The vehicle is sturdy and easy to maintain. It will last as long as you want it.

The Philadelphia Motors Cobra gets 13.8 mpg. So get friendly with your local fuel station attendant. You'll be seeing him often.

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 it comes down to it, the Philadelphia Motors Cobra is one of the best Sports on the market. For almost everyone on the looking for a Sports, you won't find a much better vehicle than the Cobra. It testing team was astonished by the results. We give it our total and complete recommendation.
