Summary
£234,300 is the starting price for AC Cars’ new Cobra GT Coupe, which the company says is its first true factory-built fixed-roof Cobra.
125 years after AC’s founding, the anniversary model extends the Cobra GT Roadster with a bespoke aluminum spaceframe, carbon-fiber bodywork and a larger 166.3-inch footprint for more cabin space.
450 hp comes from the standard 5.0-liter Ford V8, while a supercharged version delivers 720 hp and 605 lb-ft, cutting 0-60 mph to under 3.5 seconds.
1964’s A98 Le Mans racer shaped the coupe’s backstory, but production will take place at the former Saab factory in Sweden, linking the launch to AC’s broader revival.
