Need for Speed: World[]

The Cobra Daytona Coupé was made available in Need for Speed: World on October 12, 2011, as a tier 2 car. Since August 22, 2012, it has been featured as a C class car.

The Daytona Coupé is notable for its handling. It is capable of high-speed cornering and one of the best cars in this field. Acceleration is above C class standard and comparable with that of the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 V-Spec.
