The work that AC Cars does is hardly comparable with that of other manufacturers. This small British company continues to do old-fashioned carswith the Shelby Cobra as a starting point from that idyllic relationship they had in the 60s. They have also tried to maintain its essence, having available an excellent naturally aspirated or supercharged V8 engine with which they exceed 600 HP. However, now they also consider a AC Cobra GT for those audiences who have more mundane needs.
We talk about a access version that will arrive in 2026 and that half of the cylinders will be left along the way to be more complete. The Cobra GT will be available in both model bodies: both the Roadster and the Coupé. They have not yet given many technical details, but it will set up a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine high performance oriented. Although it is a decaffeinated variant, it promises to maintain the sensations behind the wheel and exemplary lightness, which is what has always defined its vehicles.
AC Cars is also working to adapt to the times and that is why they expand the range. They are not closed to electrified options in the future, but for now they are content with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder that adapts perfectly to that base. The Cobra GT maintains the aluminum chassis, carbon fiber body and that distinctive interior. The British firm also announces the arrival of a new dual clutch automatic transmissionwhich will join the six-speed manual already available.
Besides, promises a power of 390 hpso it would be one of the most powerful engines of its size, a little behind the 421 HP of the Mercedes-AMG A45 S. We will have to wait until spring 2025 to learn more details about this example, as well as its performance. . In any case, reservations are now being accepted for the AC Cobra GT Roadster and GT Coupe, which will have an approximate price of 235,000 poundswhich would be around 282,470 euros at the current exchange rate. A whimsical car for the most purists.
