Today, the LEGO Group unveiled the #10357 LEGO Icons Shelby Cobra 427 S/C model car, a collectible set designed specifically for adult builders. This build allows enthusiasts to relive the legendary design and performance of the iconic 1960s sports car, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this August 2025.
The #10357 LEGO Icons Shelby Cobra 427 S/C features an intricate, detailed 1:10 scale model of the automotive icon. With 1,241 pieces, the set includes features such as maneuverable steering, opening doors, trunk, and hood, and a meticulously recreated V8 engine. The sleek blue bodywork is adorned with Shelby’s signature bold white racing stripes, side exhausts, and a gaping mouth grille, making it a true tribute to the car’s distinctive look.
Additional accessories, such as a toolbox that fits neatly into the trunk, a fire extinguisher between the seats, and a celebratory trophy, bring this model car’s rich racing history to life. As a special nod to Carroll Shelby’s infamous ‘$100 bill game’, a $100 bill element is also included, adding a unique touch to the detailed design.
This model offers not just a rewarding building experience for vintage vehicle lovers, but also a piece of automotive history that can be displayed in the home or office. Dimensions: 5 in. (13 cm) high, 7.5 in. (19 cm) wide, and 7.5 in. (19 cm) deep.
The #10357 LEGO Icons Shelby Cobra 427 S/C will be available for LEGO Insiders from the 1st of July, and for all from the 4th of July. Prices are as follows: €159.99 / £139.99/ $159.99. You can find more information on the set at the LEGO Icons section of the Online LEGO Shop.

I hope the white stripe matches all the way, unlike on the Mustang.
It look like the white part is brickbuilt and the blue stripe in the middle is printed. That should be better quality, but of course the blue lines could still be misaligned.
I mostly like it, although I feel that those studs on top of the windshield are a little unsightly.
