 AC Cobra
Continuous development has helped the car to exceptional power to weight ratio. Except after the company AC, the Cobra is also named after the racer Carroll Shelby, the after a rather eventful professional life for the first time wins the
24 Hours of Le Mans in 1959. In 1966 he is involved in the victory of the Ford GT 40 there and he finally provides Cobra after engines of 63 kW (85 hp) to 125 kW (170 HP) the first Ford V8.
The popularity probably results from the combination of an English roadster with very powerful American engines and the then following racing successes, including a fourth-place at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The sales success has its
limits, even through difficulties in production. Over the years to be built less than 1000.
