Displayed alongside the boldly innovative AC Ace Classic electric, the new AC GT Roadster is making an American debut at the prestigious ModaMiami event this weekend, ahead of the kickoff of its first client test drives and viewing appointments Stateside. The first two years of production for the car have already been sold out, and this new premiere serves to bring new clients in who are interested in purchasing an example for the next round of production.
With a supercharged V8 engine under the hood, the new AC GT Roadster V8 S is capable of developing an immense 654 horsepower and 5757 lb/ft of torque. With that kind of power, it will get from 0-60 in just 3.4 seconds with a six-speed manual transmission for purist enthusiasts, and an automatic transmission also available with paddle shifters for a mix of convenience and driving pleasure. With the introduction of the new AC GT Roadster at ModaMiami, AC’s new era is ready to reshape the American performance car market.
