New AC Cobra range

Post by BrianC »

Can't believe no one else has done a post on this yet!

Looks nice, but with a 4 cylinder engine (even if it does produce 350bhp) just doesn't feel right and an electric version!!!!!!!!!!!!! And still only has a 0-60 time of 6.0 secs.
Also noticed it is running on Firestone Tyres!

Great engineering, but as stated above, seems the wrong direction for AC pedigree.

...btw, Pilgrim haven't used 4 pots for many years now ;)
