AC Cars

AC Cars, one of the oldest British car manufacturers, was founded in 1901. Known for its sports cars and participation in motor racing competitions, AC Cars made history with the famous AC Cobra, developed in collaboration with Carroll Shelby. This car shone in the 60s, notably in GT races and against renowned competitors at events such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans. An interesting anecdote is that the Cobra was born from the combination of a lightweight British AC Ace chassis and a powerful American V8 engine, creating an iconic vehicle that has transcended borders and generations.
