AC Cars unveils new Cobra

Same soul as in the 60s

AC Cars is one of the oldest car manufacturers in the UK and they have now presented a modern version of the classic muscle car, the AC Cobra. The new version is called the GT Roadster and they promise to have taken the best from the past and mixed it with modern technology. However, they haven't replaced the V8 with an electric motor. The engine is still fossil-fueled with eight cylinders and the 5.0-liter supercharged engine produces up to 663 horsepower and 780 Newton meters of torque in the most powerful version. This car can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds. There is also a milder version that produces "only" 460 horsepower and 570 Newton meters of torque. You can choose between a six-speed manual gearbox or a ten-speed automatic with paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. The car is based on a completely new aluminum chassis that is 28.4 centimeters longer than the original, while the track has also been increased. The body is made of carbon fiber composite and weighs only 50 kilos. The car weighs 1450 kilos.

The plan is to build 250 units per year and all cars for the first year have already been reserved. The price for this creation and when the first units will reach their customers remains to be seen.
