The New AC Cobra Coupe: A $500,000 Beast with 799 hp V8 Engine

AC Cars has unveiled its latest creation, the AC Cobra Coupe, a high-end hardtop 2-seater sports car priced at $500,000. This stunning vehicle is powered by an impressive 799 hp V8 engine, promising an exhilarating driving experience.

Expected to go into production next year, the AC Cobra Coupe shares many similarities with its predecessor, the Cobra Roadster. It features an aluminium chassis and a full carbon-fibre body, with around 75% of components carried over from the Roadster. The addition of a fixed roof gives the Coupe a more aggressive and purposeful look.

Under the hood, the AC Cobra Coupe is equipped with a Ford-sourced 5.0-litre V8 engine, available in different power outputs. The base model delivers 450 hp, while a supercharged version boosts it to 720 hp. For those seeking ultimate performance, the Clubsport Edition cranks up the power to 799 hp, with only 99 units to be produced.

Power is transmitted to the rear wheels through either a six-speed manual transmission from Tremec or a 10-speed automatic. Depending on the variant, buyers can opt for a limited-slip or Torsen differential, while the double wishbone suspension ensures precise handling.

Production of the AC Cobra Coupe will commence once all existing Roadster orders are fulfilled, with the first deliveries expected in 2028.

Experience the thrill of the AC Cobra Coupe, a perfect blend of power, performance, and luxury.
