AC Mk VI

The AC Mk VI was the AC Cobra successor announced in April 2009, when a joint venture in Germany was set up to make it, and it was built by AC Automotive of Straubenhardt. Following a supply deal with General Motors it had a new spaceframe chassis, a 6.2 litre V8 engine, a six-speed manual gearbox and Corvette brakes, while keeping the original shape in a lightweight composite body made from moulds taken from an original AC Mk III body. After two years of intense prototyping and development it went into series production in July 2012, and AC showed the Mk VI at the Geneva Motor Show that year alongside the Mk II Classic and the 378 GT Zagato. AC Automotive built AC cars from 2010 until it went into liquidation on 24 July 2023.
