Car Enthusiast Verdict
Yet another great "Cobra". The performance, etc. depends on the customer's choice of engines...
In AC's heyday - 1964, a new generation of the Cobra was launched to compete in the FIA World Manufacturers' Championship for GT cars. Only seven cars were produced, competing in the US and Europe. Now, to celebrate that car, AC has launched a limited production run, called the AC Mark II 289 FIA Roadster. It is made using the original jigs and tooling and is essentially a racecar for the road - based on the Superblower.
