AC Cars celebrates anniversary

When AC Cars finally delivers the first AC Cobra GT Roadster vehicles in 2024, it will be a watershed moment. This state-of-the-art sports automobile is the pinnacle of automotive perfection, and it was made in a massive 100,000 square foot factory on the south coast of the United Kingdom. The building showcases AC Cars’ commitment to precision and innovation with its bespoke studios, additive manufacturing capabilities, and tailor-made assembly halls.

The new AC Cars headquarters at Donington Park is the perfect place for customers to take test drives when the first year’s manufacturing fills up. The thrilling performance of the V8-powered AC Cobra GT Roadster will be available to scheduled clients for a first-hand experience. In addition, a brand center and, in due time, the company’s archives will be housed at the Donington premises, which are accessible to clients and tourists alike and which will symbolize the rich tradition of AC Cars.

In honor of its anniversary, AC Cars has introduced the AC Cobra GT Coupe, the newest model in the GT range. Enthusiasts looking for a unique driving experience will be enticed by the coupe’s promise of the same degree of performance and luxury as the roadster, thanks to its shared revolutionary construction.

Confirmations of UK manufacture, Donington Park expansion, and the AC Cobra GT Coupe’s debut demonstrate AC Cars’ unwavering progress since the 2022 unveiling of its new vehicle. Both the GT Roadster and the GT Coupe models of the AC Cobra represent the pinnacle of performance and exclusivity because to their seamless integration of classic good looks with state-of-the-art engineering.

The iconic AC Cobra GT line-up serves as inspiration for a new standard in car design. These sports cars honor the original while incorporating design progress over the past half-century. They have an aluminum chassis and a strong 5.0-liter V8 engine.

Similar to AC Cars’ Thames Ditton plant from the ’60s, the new factory on the south coast of the United Kingdom places an emphasis on handiwork and precision. The careful production procedures used to make each AC Cobra GT Roadster and GT Coupe guarantee that they are of the finest quality, with outstanding lightweight and torsional rigidity.

While construction is underway at the south-coast facility to concentrate production operations, AC Cars’ upgraded headquarters at Donington Park is the hub for development and innovation. The company has all the makings of an industry leader in its pursuit of a driver academy and successful racing operations.
