ACGT Roadster is a future sports car developed by incorporating the latest technology while inheriting the style of the legendary AC 'Cobra'. It has already predicted a big hit to the extent that a two-year pre-contract was completed before the start of production. After the Miami exhibition, the next production volume consultation is also scheduled.
This car was developed as a whole new model, inheriting the iconic profile of the AC Cobra. In particular, it was designed as a grand tourner, combining speed, agility, balance, comfort, and practicality.
The size is definitely larger than the existing AC cobra, so you can ride comfortably more than 180cm in height. The body adopted an aluminum space frame chassis and manually stacked carbon fiber as the body.
ACCARZ is a classic sports car manufacturer founded in the United Kingdom in 1901. It was Shelby AC Cobra, which made AC's name known in the 1960s with its high performance and elegant design. Shelby has made a name for itself as a company famous for tuning and selling Ford vehicles.
It went viral in the 1960s when it dramatically boosted performance through supercharger tuning of Ford vehicles.The Shelby AC Cobra, which was created as a joint venture between the two companies, was very popular at the time. It is still a model representing classical sports cars and is loved by enthusiasts.
ACcarz revived sleeping cobra DNA after 60 years. Based on an aluminum space frame body with a lightweight design, the Ford V8 5.0L gasoline "Coyote" engine was adopted.
The top trim is equipped with a supercharger to produce a maximum output of 654 horsepower and a maximum torque of 780 Nm. Zero-back acceleration is achieved in 3.4 seconds. The transmission has a choice of 10-speed automatic and paddle shift as well as 6-speed manual.
Carbon composite materials were actively used on the vehicle body, and the tolerance weight was set to 1,450 kg or less. Compared to the superior power train, it is lightweight and has excellent acceleration performance. It is a high-performance model with a lightweight body that is difficult to see in today's era.
The exterior is a modernization of the 'Shelby AC Cobra', which had a high overall design completeness, and worked on details. It is a design that feels both classic and modern by applying LED headlights and LED tail lamps, which are commonly used in current vehicles.
When entering the interior, a retro-style design was added based on the simple interior layout at the time. The instrument panel is placed in the center and consists of a gauge design that utilizes retro.Emergency lights and electronic equipment control switches were placed underneath the instrument panel. An infotainment system that also serves as an air conditioner was located at the bottom.
If you look at the center tunnel, the engine start button and EPB switch lever and window switch lever are placed around the transmission. The interior that seems to coexist with the old and the present is quite impressive.The AC Cobra GT Roadster is a unique model that revives the past and has both retro and modern.
Existing Shelby AC Cobra enthusiasts are still attracted to their unique classicity and streamlined body line. There are still quite a few fans who want to buy a replica instead of the original model that is hard to get. The price of the new model starts from $240,000 (about 320 million won).
