This highly anticipated sports car is being showcased to clients and VIP guests, giving them the opportunity to experience its performance firsthand.

A New Chapter at Donington Park

The dynamic demonstrations mark a significant milestone in the production of the AC Cobra GT Roadster. Held at AC Carsโ€™ headquarters and R&D centre at Donington Park, these events allow attendees to see, hear, and feel the capabilities of this new sports car.

Unleashing the Power

The new Cobra is powered by a 663bhp supercharged engine, housed within a sleek carbon-fibre body. The iconic AC Cobra design has been seen driving on the public roads surrounding Donington Park, demonstrating its potential to clients and car enthusiasts alike. This stage of development is crucial as AC Cars continues to fine-tune the vehicle, ensuring it meets the high expectations set for its performance and styling.

An Insiderโ€™s Look at Cutting-Edge Design

During these exclusive events, members of the engineering and production teams are available to discuss the carโ€™s design and features. This direct interaction highlights AC Carsโ€™ commitment to keeping its clients informed and engaged as the project progresses. The feedback from these demonstrations has been overwhelmingly positive, reinforcing confidence that the AC Cobra GT Roadster will deliver on its promise of unmatched style and performance.


A Legacy Reimagined

The new AC Cobra GT Roadster is built on a unique aluminium spaceframe chassis, complemented by a full carbon-fibre body and a powerful 5.0-litre V8 engine. It stands as a worthy successor to the legendary AC Cobra of the 1960s, combining classic aesthetics with modern design and engineering advancements.

Modern Comfort Meets Classic Style

One of the notable improvements in the new GT Roadster is its larger size and modern ergonomics. Unlike its predecessor, the updated cabin comfortably accommodates drivers over six feet tall. Additionally, the vehicle features a modern drivetrain and advanced control technologies, solidifying its status as a grand tourer.

Versatility and Exclusivity

The AC Cobra GT Roadster is available in both left and right-hand drive configurations, with options for an automatic or manual gearbox. This is all part of the plan to create a driving experience tailored to individual preferences, all within a highly limited-production model.

A Unified Production Hub

AC Cars has recently announced a new brand centre at Donington Park. This facility joins their expansive 100,000 sq ft site on the UKโ€™s south coast, which will serve as the assembly centre. Bringing all necessary crafts and disciplines under one roof, the new centre aims to streamline production and maintain the marqueโ€™s legacy of excellence.
