AC Cars, Britain’s oldest active vehicle manufacturer, has released the first images of the formidable new AC Cobra GT Coupe. The first ever official AC Cobra coupe set for production, working from an enhanced version of the existing AC Cobra GT Roadster platform, this road-going model draws on the company’s racing heritage.
Inspired by victories from AC’s formative years, which includes the Monte Carlo Rally and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the new AC Cobra GT Coupe adds motorsport-derived enhancements to produce an AC Cobra unlike any other.
Fusing the unmistakeable AC Cobra aesthetic with a contemporary coupe profile, it provides a brand new model as the company continues to expand its operations. Undeniably a member of the AC Cobra GT family, it retains key touch points from the Roadster but is in part inspired by the infamous AC A98 coupe Le Mans race car from 1964.
With production for the AC Cobra GT Coupe based at AC Cars’ UK facilities, it’s an evolution of the company’s unique vehicle architecture – with an enhanced aluminium chassis and optimised carbon-fibre body.
AC Cars is celebrating the news of the AC Cobra GT Coupe with details of the extreme Clubsport Edition, honed to excel on the track. Limited to just 99 examples, and predominately featuring a 799bhp V8 powertrain, these will be the first cars delivered to clients – from the end of 2025 onwards.
The Clubsport Edition will be followed by the series production coupe, available with either a normally aspirated 450bhp (456 PS) V8 or 720bhp (730 PS) supercharged option. The new AC Cobra GT Coupe starts at £325,000 + taxes.
