THE FIRST OF A NEW BREED
A groundbreaking new model from Britain’s oldest active vehicle manufacturer introduces something unique: The AC Cobra GT Coupe is the first ever production AC Cobra coupe.
Fusing the unmistakeable AC Cobra aesthetic with a contemporary profile, the new coupe uses an enhanced version of the same platform as AC Cobra GT Roadster platform, and retains a potent 5.0-litre V8 engine, to deliver a road legal model that draws on the company’s racing heritage.
A RACE INSPIRED AC COBRA COUPE FOR THE OPEN ROAD
Undeniably a member of the AC Cobra GT family, it retains key touch points from the Roadster but is inspired by the infamous AC A98 coupe Le Mans race car from 1964.
To honour this legacy, the limited AC Cobra GT Coupe Clubsport will represent the pinnacle of performance. With just 99 examples built, and predominately featuring a 799bhp V8 powertrain, it will provide an incredible, competition car experience on either the street or the circuit.
UNDENIABLY AN AC COBRA
Retaining the iconic shoulder line, the new AC Cobra GT Coupe has very obvious connection to the brand’s current styling code, but introduces a Kammtail rear. A distinctive design element, employed by leading race teams in the, the configuration improves a vehicle’s aerodynamic efficiency without resorting to an elongated longtail solution. Employed in the design of the AC A98 coupe the Kammtail adds enhances performance as well the GT Coupe’s overall racing aesthetic. As with the GT Roadster, the new GT Coupe is notably larger than the original AC Cobra.
Drawing on the skills of AC Cars’ production team, the AC Cobra GT Coupe employs the latest carbon fibre production techniques to create the unique fixed head design. This includes a subtle ‘double bubble’ concept, which acknowledges the car’s lightweight credentials. This has been achieved without compromise to cabin space, ensuring that the driver and passenger enjoy every mile in this grand tourer.
