The Ford Torino King Cobra was a high performance version of the Ford Torino, produced by Ford in 1970. This muscle car was built as a special homologation model, meaning it was built to meet the demands of competition in the NASCAR series. It was designed to be a powerful and fast car, designed for racing on oval tracks at high speeds.

The Ford Torino King Cobra was equipped with a 7.0-liter V8 engine that developed around 429 horsepower and 449 lb-ft of torque. The car featured a four-speed manual transmission and performance-tuned suspension. The car also featured a distinctive aerodynamic package, including a front wing, rear wing and air hood, which helped improve handling and stability at high speeds.

The Ford Torino King Cobra was built in small series, only two prototypes were built. It was never sold to the public and was only used for racing purposes. The car debuted in the 1970 Daytona 500, where it finished in the top ten. The King Cobra was also raced in the 1970 NASCAR season, but it did not perform as well as Ford had hoped, and the program was eventually scrapped.

The Ford Torino King Cobra is considered a rare and highly sought after car today.
