The 123-year-old company AC Cars has unveiled a new version of its iconic Ace sports car.
Modern cars powered by Ford 2.3-liter turbo-4, AC Cars is now in the process of revitalizing the Ace, the sports car that both AC and Shelby American used for their respective Cobras.
AC on Thursday provided a first look at the design of its modern Ace, which the 123-year-old company is offering in Ace and Ace Bristol forms., while the modern Ace Bristol features the larger grille used on early examples of the original Ace.. They both ride on a new 3.0-inch steel tubular frame chassis, and are powered by a 2.3-liter turbo-4 sourced from Ford. The original cars came with inline-6 engines.
AC said it used original drawings and historic cars to shape the new body which is made from carbon fiber. Some subtle differences were made, like the more graceful rolling flanks instead of the somewhat flat-sided original design. The dimensions have mostly been left untouched, unlike AC's modern Cobra, known as the Cobra GT Roadster, which was made bigger than the original to enable taller drivers to fit comfortably.
Each car will bear an official chassis number, denoting it as a genuine AC and a descendent of its respective original model.
