Making its debut at the renowned Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a mere stone’s throw away from AC Cars’ birthplace in the United Kingdom, this extraordinary vehicle has captured the hearts of discerning collectors with its iconic design, impressive engine performance, and a rich heritage that resonates throughout.

The Cobra GT Roadster showcases an entirely new carbon-composite body, skillfully crafted around an extruded aluminium spaceframe chassis. This innovative construction not only ensures lightweight agility for enhanced handling but also allows for exceptional versatility. AC Cars has masterfully blended classic Cobra aesthetics, paying homage to legendary models like the iconic Shelby Cobra, while seamlessly incorporating contemporary elements.
