EV ACE
The AC Cobra’s predecessor the AC Ace, the car that directly led to what can only be described as one of the most iconic cars of all time, will once again be offered for sale 50 years after its production run ended. Although the Ace RS electric will retain its ’50s styling, it will be a very modern drivetrain, with Falcon Electric providing the EV power plant that will propel the lightweight sports car to 0-62 mph in approx. 5.5 seconds, thanks to the 230kW/500Nm peak power. The range is over 300km. This comes after the Cobra Series 1 electric was offered for sale in June, but both cars can hold nothing to the Cobra Series 4 electric, with one model boasting a 460kW/1000Nm power train. But don’t worry, the company has not turned its back on gasoline — you can order the same Superblower-based AC Cobra with an LSA and six-speed combination if you’re not brave enough to go EV just yet.
