AC Cars Celebrates 123 Years with New Roadster, Coupe & UK Production Boom

British icon AC Cars is celebrating a monumental birthday – 123 years of churning out beautiful, powerful machines. But they’re not just blowing out the candles and reminiscing. This legendary marque is roaring back into the fast lane with a trifecta of exciting news:

• Production of the stunning AC Cobra GT Roadster is underway right here in the UK! No more waiting for these beasts to cross the pond.
• AC Cars has expanded its HQ at the legendary Donington Park. More than just an office upgrade, this is a statement of intent for the future.
• Get ready for a new addition to the Cobra family: the sleek AC Cobra GT Coupe! This beauty combines all the performance of the roadster with the practicality of a closed roof.

From Humble Beginnings to a Roaring Future

It all started back in 1901 when the Weller brothers tinkered away in their London workshop, laying the foundation for what would become Britain’s oldest active car manufacturer. Fast forward a century and AC Cars is delivering on its promise: the stunning AC Cobra GT Roadster is hitting the tarmac this year.

Crafted with Passion in the UK

AC Cars haven’t skimped on their new digs. The 100,000 square foot facility on the UK’s south coast boasts bespoke studios, cutting-edge additive manufacturing, and tailor-made assembly halls. It’s set to be a temple dedicated to creating automotive masterpieces.

Donington Park: More Than Just a Racetrack

The expanded HQ at Donington Park is the perfect base for future demonstrations of the AC Cobra GT Roadster, giving lucky clients a chance to unleash the beast on this historic track. And the good news doesn’t stop there. This new facility will also house a brand centre for AC Cars and, in time, even their company archives.

Introducing the AC Cobra GT Coupe: A Legend Reimagined

As part of the birthday celebrations, AC Cars has unveiled the tantalising first details of the AC Cobra GT Coupe. This sleek addition to the Cobra family shares the same powerful V8 engine and meticulously crafted interior as its open-top sibling, but offers the practicality of a fixed roof. This is the first ever coupe iteration of the iconic Cobra, and it’s sure to turn heads.

A Commitment to the Future

“AC Cars is looking ahead,” says David Conza, Chief Executive Officer. “With UK production in full swing, our expansion at Donington Park underway, and the first clients set to experience these incredible cars, we’re thrilled to announce the AC Cobra GT Coupe.” This new model is just the beginning. AC Cars is pouring its resources into people, equipment, and facilities, paving the way for a vibrant future with exciting new models.

A Legacy of Power and Beauty

The news of UK production, the Donington Park expansion, and the stunning new AC Cobra GT Coupe solidifies AC Cars’ commitment to its heritage. These new Cobras combine the timeless aesthetics of the original with cutting-edge design and engineering, delivering a level of performance and exclusivity unmatched in their history.

The AC Cobra is back, and it’s looking better than ever.
