FIRST LOOK: The new accarsofficial Cobra GT Roadster is an all-new, Brit-built bruiser with a 654bhp V8...
AC Cars has yet to give full details of this powerplant, but says it will produce 654bhp and 575lb ft, which will be enough to send the sub-1500kg Roadster from 0-60mph in around 3.6sec - nearly as quick as a. It can be paired with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a 10-speed automatic.
The powertrain is housed in a redesigned body shell, larger than that of the existing Cobra with a wheelbase of 2570mm, which looks to stay largely true to the overall silhouette and defining cues of the fabled 1960s sports car, but with fresh touches that bring it in line with modern rivals. AC Cars says the new entry has been"meticulously engineered to be exceptional" featuring"cutting-edge material and manufacturing technologies" and will be highly customisable according to its owners' tastes. Prices and availability have not been confirmed, but production will be limited and a substantial premium over the £130,000 Superblower.
The lengthy and costly development programme for the new two-seater centred around the engineering of a new and bespoke aluminium spaceframe chassis, which was designed in Italy by Icona Design Group and Cecomp Spa. It promises"excellent torsional rigidity" and is said to combine"refinement with performance-orientated ride and handling" in keeping with the new car's billing as a grand tourer.
