Overview
- AC Cars, which showed a three‑dimensional prototype on Friday, said the Cobra GT/Coupe is ready for production and uses a carbon‑fibre body over an aluminium spaceframe.
- The company plans to offer a Ford‑derived 5.0‑litre V8 in naturally aspirated and supercharged forms with either a six‑speed manual or a 10‑speed automatic transmission.
- Published power figures vary across outlets with naturally aspirated outputs reported around 450–456 hp and supercharged figures reported between about 720–730 hp, while a limited Clubsport edition is said to target roughly 810 hp.
- AC has set a target kerbweight under 1,600 kg and quotes a sub‑3.5‑second 0–60 mph time for the supercharged car, and it says it acquired its carbon‑fibre supplier to produce bodies in‑house.
- The firm expects manufacturing to begin next year with first customer deliveries aimed for 2028, and it says the coupe is intended to help scale output toward about 1,000 cars a year though exact pricing and final specs remain inconsistent between reports.
