The stylish Aceca 4-seater coupe

Car Enthusiast Verdict
Performance: ***
Style: ***
Value: *
Overall: **
More distinctive than the Ace but no better value - it depends which is your priority.
The AC Aceca is a brave foray into the cut-throat GT market for the AC Group. It certainly stands out from the crowd, however, and has the ability to transport 4 adults at high speed in very luxurious surroundings. It will be interesting to see how many people will actually pay out �70,000 for the privilege.

2 stars does not really do this car justice...
