AC Cars Reimagines The Classic Cobra With The New GT Coupe
AC Cars has introduced the new Cobra GT Coupe, a fixed-roof grand tourer inspired by the iconic AC A98 Le Mans racer from 1964. Combining classic Cobra styling with modern engineering, the new model joins the Cobra GT family as a more refined and practical alternative to the roadster.
Built on the same platform as the Cobra GT Roadster, the coupe features lightweight carbon-fiber construction and a distinctive Kamm-tail rear design that enhances its aerodynamic profile while preserving the car’s classic proportions.
Power comes from Ford’s 5.0-liter V8 engine, available in two configurations. The naturally aspirated version produces 450 horsepower and 556 Nm of torque, while the supercharged variant delivers 720 horsepower and 820 Nm. Buyers can choose between a six-speed manual transmission or a ten-speed automatic gearbox.
In its most powerful form, the Cobra GT Coupe accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in under 3.5 seconds, offering performance to match its dramatic looks.
Despite its sporting credentials, AC Cars describes the GT Coupe as a true grand tourer. The cabin combines leather upholstery, heritage-inspired design elements, analogue and digital displays, climate control, satellite navigation, and electric windows, while offering enough space for occupants over six feet tall.
Measuring around 4.2 meters in length and weighing approximately 1,600 kg, the Cobra GT Coupe remains faithful to the spirit of the original Cobra while meeting modern expectations for comfort and usability.
Production will be highly limited, with prices starting at GBP 234,000 before taxes for the naturally aspirated model and GBP 256,300 before taxes for the supercharged version.
