AC Cars, Britain’s oldest active vehicle manufacturer, will unveil its brand-new sports car, the AC Ace Classic electric at the SEMA 2024 show with electrified performance technologies partner TREMEC Electric GT.

A new version of the recently announced AC Ace Classic and AC Ace Bristol Classic, the car was conceived at AC Cars’ advanced facility on the UK’s south coast, before completion in the US, to deliver a timeless style of motoring energised by the latest electric powertrain technology.

TREMEC’s unmatched heritage in Performance Technologies, which includes its Advanced Electrification Capabilities, made it the obvious partner for this new roadster from the British company that can trace its roots back to 1901.

Evocative of the origin story of the famous car that the original AC Ace evolved into, the AC Cobra, the chassis, coachwork and interior of each vehicle will be hand crafted before receiving their electrified performance powertrain.

TREMEC Electric GT’s turnkey eGT413 Modular EV platform is fully integrated into the AC Ace and is designed to elicit a powerful driving experience in this most iconic of sports cars. With 300 eHorse Power (225 kW), a 72 kWh battery package, and a sub 1,134 kg (2,500 lb) curb weight the AC Ace delivers excellent performance. DC Fast Charging combined with a 200+ miles of range per charge provide an extremely functional and reliable roadster.*

Pairing traditional skills pair with advanced carbon-fibre for the bodywork, and the electrified powertrain providing staggering speed, all vehicles will arrive with a hand-finished interior.

“We are extremely excited to have TREMEC as our electrified performance technologies partner for the new AC Ace Classic electric. The calibre of its work, and the depth of knowledge has been instrumental in developing a car both companies are incredibly proud of.”

– David Conza, CEO of AC Cars

added: “To be working with such a historically significant marque as AC Cars, and to be delivering Electrifying Performance to such an iconic design, really demonstrates our approach to revolutionising automotive powertrains.”

– Antonio Herrera, Managing Director of TREMEC

Reservations and orders for the new AC Ace electric are now open, with the unique sports car starting at $275,000 before local sales and state taxes. Deliveries will start in 2025 for a limited number of cars.
