The 5.4-liter DOHC V8 was rated at 385 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque when new.

Unique engine mounts and a lower cross member were fitted from the factory to accommodate the larger engine.

All 2000 Cobra R models were finished in Performance Red (ES), and features include a front air dam with a removable lower splitter, a cowl hood, a fixed rear wing, and a side-exit exhaust system with dual polished tips ahead of each rear wheel.

A B&M Ripper short-throw shifter is connected to the Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission.

Cobra R models were manufactured with no rear seat, radio, cruise control, or air conditioning.

Instrumentation consists of a 180-mph speedometer and a tachometer along with gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, voltage, and oil pressure.

The odometer indicates 3,200 miles.
