Just 250 examples of this cutting-edge Roadster are expected to be built for worldwide markets every year. THE MOST ADVANCED AC COBRA EVER CONCEIVED Significantly larger than the original AC Cobra, the new AC Cobra GT Roadster revisits the ambitions of a design that traces its roots back to the heyday of British sports cars but catches up on 50 years of evolution. Thoroughly modern ergonomics means the car’s cabin accommodates drivers well over six-feet tall, while the car utilises modern drivetrain and control technologies to validate its grand tourer credentials. Ensuring that the car remains instantly recognizable, despite every line being drawn anew, required a deft approach. Numerous iterations were produced before the final balanced aesthetic was penned, allowing the team the time to perfect a blueprint that also satisfied the car’s performance obligations. Clothed in a flowing carbon-composite body, which weighs under 50 kg, the AC Cobra GT Roadster’s sinuous shape belies its overall size, yet elegantly covers the highly advanced platform lying beneath.   CABIN Inspired by the equestrian world, as well as the work of artisans, the design, materials and composition of the AC Cobra GT Roadster’s cabin owes as much to the marque’s heritage as it does the luxury sport car genre. Retaining historic touchpoints, but still driver-centric, there is no conflict between useability and aesthetics.   HAND FINISHED AND UNIQIE Befitting such an advanced and highly exclusive car, the AC Cobra GT Roadster’s cabin has received as much care and devotion as the rest of the design. Featuring bespoke details and unique hand finished elements unseen in the automotive world before, it underlines AC Cars’ commitment to its vehicles going forward. PREMIUM LEATHER The design and detailing of the AC Cobra GT Roadster’s leatherwork and upholstery are a clear differentiator for the car. Carefully blending advanced and highly resilient fabrics with traditional materials elevates the cabin, yet once again respects the car’s heritage. SADDLE-BAG DOOR CARDS The unique saddle-bag door cards fuse function with style, incorporating stowage space and the close handle, while a racing style door release strap reasserts the car’s competition pedigree. The innovative slide pockets either side of the transmission tunnel provide the perfect place for storing phones, and chime with the full size, carbon-fibre-shell seats trimmed to AC Car’s exacting specification and embossed with its famous logo.
