Over a year ago AC Cars announced they would be releasing an all-electric version of the classic AC Ace, the car that would become the Shelby Cobra. AC Cars are already finalizing deliveries of their electric cars to customers. But The British Motoring Show in Farnborough will give motoring fans their first chance to see the car in the metal for themselves.
Retaining the iconic Cobra styling, the new vehicle features a specifically engineered electric powertrain, developed by technical partner Falcon Electric. With a 0-62mph time of around 4secs, and 500 Nm of torque (peak), the Series 1 electric packs a punch akin to the famous Cobras of old, but with a range of around 150 emissions-free miles. Just 58 of the electric Aces will be built at a retail price of around $172,000 each. For those wanting a more traditional car, AC does offer gasoline-powered versions fitted with naturally aspirated or supercharged GM LS3 crate engines.
If you happen to be in the UK, the show runs from August 19th-22nd.
