New AC Cobra Venom V8

The images show what the successor to the AC/ShelvyShelby Cobra called Venom will look like. It is expected to deliver superior performance over previous models thanks to its Ford4.6-litre V8 engine with 524 CV.

This new heart will allow it to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 345 km/h, all thanks to its perfect pairing with the six-speed Tremec manual gearbox.

The car’s chassis is built mostly from carbon fibre and aluminium, so its weight has dropped considerably. It also features the Protective Cocoon airbag system, borrowed from Formula 1.

The exterior design keeps the classic refinement of these sports cars, and even the new set of 17-inch Pirelli wheels harmonises perfectly with the car.

As always, the interior stands out for its elegance and good taste, along with the expected gadgets found in any luxury car.
