AC Cobra is one of the most mythical light sports, the secret of which the British have. Founded in 1901 year, “Avtopereviznyk” distinguished itself in its history by designing small coupes and sports roadsters. There were AC Ace (1953), Greyhound (1959). Or the sublime Frua (1965), designed by Italian designer Pietro Frua. But we will remember first of all roaring cobra born in 1962 thanks to Carroll Shelby. The former American racing driver (father of the Ford GT40) wanted to develop a powerful and light sports car. AC gives it a body (AC Ace) and a Ford two V8 engines : Cobra was born here. It will be produced almost until 1967 1000 copiesdistributed by AC in the UK and Shelby in the US.

Cobra is dead, long live Cobra!

Since then, AC Cars is still around and so is Cobra! The British manufacturer continues assembly copies of his legendary sports caras well as electric “modernized” versions. Cobra is a monster of ingenuity, and light and precise chassis which excelled several times in competitions and was available in many original versions. Let’s save, for example, the sublime Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe, or a study of the style of Gia and Willment. After several decades of continuing to exist in much the same form as the original 1962 Cobra, AC Cars is on the brink present a modernized version his famous bomber jacket!

Enthusiasts can rest assured that the DNA of the real Cobra will not be dishonored by this new version. she will keep its silhouette, and the shapes and curves that contributed to its fame. He will accept the first novelty a all aluminum chassis to further reduce its weight. And bring it into the 21st century. AC explains that he started from scratch for this second Cobra under the name. In order to revolutionize its designand make it the most advanced Cobra ever built.

Ford will always be close to stock a 663 horsepower V8, optionally with manual or automatic transmission.
