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.
With a curb weight of 1,450kg and a V8 engine generating 454 BHP and 420 lb-ft of torque, or an exhilarating 654 BHP and 575 lb-ft with the optional supercharger, the Cobra GT Roadster delivers breathtaking performance. Accelerating from 0 to 60 MPH in just 3.4 seconds, this remarkable roadster channels its power to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission.
During the grand premiere, David Conza, Chief Executive Officer of AC Cars, expressed his enthusiasm, saying: “Our objective was to surpass the expectations of our esteemed clientele, who demand nothing short of automotive excellence. The overwhelmingly positive response we have received from attendees confirms that we have not only met but exceeded those expectations. The AC Cobra GT Roadster stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to uncompromising quality. We are thrilled to have welcomed customers from across the globe and express our deepest gratitude for their unwavering trust in our brand.”
