AC ACE
What is Cobra? Cobra's legend begun in September 1961 when
American race car driver Carroll Shelby was looking for suitable
chassis and body for Ford's V8 engine and transmission. He chose
for these reputable British car producer's AC Cars Ltd. AC
ACE chassis and body. In February 1962 first sportcar with 260 CID V8 engine
rolled out and it was extremely quick, not only then but also
today - 3,9s from 0-100 kmh. To keep the weight on the low side
insulation for the heat and noise were not used. It created a
feeling that you are deafen by the engine roar and feet are
fried by exhaust pipes. But if the car is the fastest at its
time the real enthusiast does not care about these minor details

participations in different races. In 1963 was the first time
when in Riverside two Cobras won the race outperforming
Corvette Stingrays.
