The AC GT Roadster
Inheriting a profile rightly regarded as legendary, but delivering a wholly new, exclusive model, AC Cars has developed its most advanced open top ever. Conceived as a true grand tourer, combining speed, agility and balance with comfort and practicality, it sets the benchmark as the iconically styled sports car for true aficionados and collectors.   

Part of the AC GT Range, which includes the GT Coupe, the GT Roadster is a combination of enduring aesthetics and cutting-edge design and construction techniques that catch up on 50 years of design evolution.

Instantly recognisable, it remains faithful to the spirit of the original AC Cobra of the 1960s yet utilises modern engine, gearbox and control technologies to provide a new level of performance and handling.

While some companies rely on engineering akin to that of the 1960s, AC Cars made the investment and commitment needed to break new ground and produce a car that’s as rewarding to drive and as fast as it is beautiful.

With a unique aluminium spaceframe chassis and sonorous 5.0-litre V8 engine, the new AC GT Roadster it represents a level of performance and safety unheard of in any previous iteration of the iconic sports car.

Developing up to 654bhp (663PS) and 575lb ft (780Nm) – the supercharged AC GT Roadster V8 S is capable of sprinting from 0-60mph in just 3.4sec. Perfectly complementing the engines, two gearboxes are available: a 6-speed manual for purists or an advanced automatic gearbox with steering-wheel mounted shift paddles. *

Extremely light and with exceptional torsional rigidity, the car’s highly advanced construction is cloaked in a flowing, hand-laid carbon fibre body. Significantly larger than the original AC Cobra, the new GT Roadster’s thoroughly modern ergonomics mean the cabin accommodates drivers well over six-feet tall, and includes a modern drivetrain and control technologies to validate its grand tourer credentials.

As befitting an advanced and highly exclusive sports cars, every vehicle from AC receives the upmost care and devotion to detail. Featuring bespoke designs and unique hand finished elements unseen in the automotive world before, it underlines AC Cars’ commitment to its vehicles.

Inspired by the equestrian world, as well as the work of artisans, the design, materials and composition of the AC GT range’s cabin owes as much to the marque’s heritage as it does the luxury sports car genre. Retaining historic touchpoints, but still driver-centric, there is no conflict between usability and aesthetics.

Available in both left and right-hand drive, the AC GT range delivers a remarkable driving experience in an extremely limited-production vehicle.

AC Ace Classic electric
Also on show at ModaMiami, and available to view following the event, is the AC Ace Classic electric, which is making its East Coast debut this March.

A truly beautiful combination of historic styling and cutting-edge powertrain design, the new AC Ace Classic electric is a bold new model for the company behind many iconic AC sports cars.

With a hand laid carbon fibre body, and a unique hand finished interior, the new AC Ace Classic electric perfectly encapsulates a golden era of sports cars, but packs the punch of a bespoke 300 bhp (225 kW) TREMEC EV powertrain. With 500Nm (369ft lb) of torque and 200+ mile range, the new AC Ace Classic electric accelerates from 0-62mph in 4.9 secs and has a total battery capacity of 72 kWh.*

Developed in partnership with electrified performance technologies partner TREMEC Electric GT, the new AC Ace Classic Electric retains the historic company’s reputation for unique coachwork. Incorporating a precision carbon-fibre body that’s immensely strong and light, the work employs the same techniques as AC Cars’ flagship model, the AC GT Roadster. 

Also available with a potent gasoline engine, the new AC Ace Classic is available in two distinct personalities of car – reflecting the evolution of the original AC Ace over its 10-year production run 1953-1963. the AC Ace Classic uses the open grille design of the AC Ace before its transformation into the famed AC Cobra, while the AC Ace Bristol Classic employs the earlier ‘smiling face’ that graced the model for its launch in 1953. Both models feature graceful rolling flanks and wheel arches, in contrast to the flat-sided original design.
