AC Cars launches electric Ace
7th November 2024
AC Cars, Britain’s oldest active vehicle manufacturer, has unveiled the AC Ace Classic electric at the SEMA 2024 show in Las Vegas with electrified performance technologies partner TREMEC Electric GT.
A stunning combination of classic styling and cutting-edge powertrain design, the new AC Ace Classic electric is a bold new model for the company behind many iconic AC sports cars, going back to the famous Brooklands record breaking car of 1922. The new roadster also marks the start of a new partnership between industry leader TREMEC and the British marque as it expands its range of exclusive sports cars and looks to the development of future models.
With a hand laid carbon fibre body, and a unique hand finished interior, the new AC Ace Classic electric perfectly encapsulates the halcyon days of sports cars, but packs the punch of a bespoke 300 bhp (225 kW) TREMEC EV powertrain With 500Nm (369ft lb) of torque and 200+ mile range, the new AC Ace Classic electric accelerates from 0-62mph in 4.9 secs and has a total battery capacity of 72 kWh. *
With just 49 examples available for the launch, the new AC Ace Classic electric can be reserved exclusively at the SEMA show and by visiting here.
Speaking at the SEMA show Alan Lubinsky, Chairman of AC Cars, said: “It’s an honour to be at SEMA with TREMEC, and the response to the new AC Ace roadster has been phenomenal. To be able to craft such an amazing looking car that draws on the latest EV technology is a milestone for a company that’s celebrating its 123rd anniversary.”
Antonio Herrera, Managing Director of TREMEC added: “TREMEC and AC Cars are two companies that understand the importance of heritage and integrity, yet both are committed to challenging convention and breaking new ground. The development of the new AC Ace Classic electric has seen us embrace fresh thinking and new concepts in order to innovate, and we’re excited about the road ahead together.”
The new AC Ace electric is available to order now, and prices for this unique sports car start at $275,000 (£212,000) before local sales and state taxes. Deliveries for the first 49 cars will start in 2025.
