3.5-litre Lotus V8 twin turbo engine.<\/p>\n<p>The star of the company\u2019s stand at the British International Motor Show at the NEC, Birmingham that year, the 350 bhp car was named in the tradition of earlier AC Cobras by quoting the cubic inch capacity of the engine.<\/p>\n<p>Although only two were made, it was believed to be one of the faster accelerating cars available at the time, with a 0-60mph time of around 4.0 seconds. The AC 212 S\/C weighed roughly 900 kg, largely due to the use of the pioneering carbon-fibre bodywork originally developed for the AC Cobra Mark IV CRS along with the lightweight but powerful Lotus

It was the first time the AC Cobra would compete in the famous French endurance race.<\/p>\n<p>One was entered by AC Cars itself, with drivers Ninian Sanderson and Peter Bolton behind the wheel, while the other came from Ed Hugus, who had run the car&#8217;s race development in America, sharing the drive with Brit Peter Jopp.<\/p>\n<p>The cars competing were in fact the Mk 2 version of the car, fitted with the larger 4.7-litre (289cu in) engine. This meant that it was better suited to the challenges of the fast La Sarthe circuit.<\/p>\n<p>To also help out pace rivals, the AC factory in Thames Ditton, England, introduced some distinctive features, including streamlined aluminium hardtop roofs to improve aerodynamics and increase top speed along the famous Mulsanne Straight.<\/p>\n<p>The race started well for both cars, but there were moments of high drama. Around four and a half hours into the race an oil slick left by a damaged Aston Martin caused Sanderson a series of spins, but luckily he hit nothing and was able to carry on.<\/p>\n<p>The sister car was not so lucky, and engine trouble ten hours in meant that Hugus and Joop had to retire early.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Despite strong competition, from far more experience race teams, AC Cars triumphed and the AC Cobra of British duo Ninian Sanderson and Peter Bolton finished first in class and seventh overall.<\/p>\n<p>For this first race the AC Cobra proved a tough customer, covering 2592 miles at an average speed of 108mph and touching 160mph on the Mulsanne Straight. It also managed to finish some 27 laps ahead of its nearest rival in its class.<\/p>\n<p>Here started the legend of the AC Cobra as a force to be reckoned with on the racetrack.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8f677b e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no

In 1961\u00a0<strong>Carroll Shelby,<\/strong>\u00a0having noticed the racing success of the AC Ace from 1957, negotiates with AC Cars the design and manufacture of a vehicle to be powered by the new engine.<\/p><p>Shelby and AC Cars shoe-horn a 4.2 ltr V8 engine into the Ace, the <strong>AC<\/strong> <strong>Cobra<\/strong>\u00a0is born. Commencing 20th June 1963 AC Cars manufactures approximately 1&#8217;000 cars and ships them to the USA where the engines are fitted. A number of cars are built with similar specification for the European market.<\/p><p>The Cobra is an instant success. AC Cars produces all the chassis in the UK until the end of the collaboration with its American partner in 1968, then would continue to make the original Cobra on its own to this
