The original car, the AC Cobra 378 Superblower MkIV, was a famous sports car that helped to revive the company. The new version has an electric power system installed by AC Cars Derby-based partner Falcon Electric.
“The march of the outstandingly efficient electric AC Cobras is gathering pace now” said Alan Lubinsky, the owner of AC Cars who purchased the company in 1996. “Eliminating excess weight brings with it positive benefits for the car’s owner. Lower overall weight reduces energy consumption, allowing the batteries to deliver a longer range and the ability to drive the car to AC’s traditional high standards for speed and acceleration which the marque has achieved over many years”.
Reservations for production cars are now being taken on the AC Cars Website and first customer deliveries of the car are expected in summer of 2021.
The retail selling price for the AC Cobra Series 4–electric will be £168,000, plus any on the road charges.
