AC GT SuperSport coming in 2027 with 1,025 horsepower

New Ace Replica Launches AC Cars' American Division The Shelby Cobra and its progenitor, the AC Ace, have spawned countless replicas, some manufactured by the modern incarnation of AC Cars itself. That company is about to deliver one of the most extreme examples yet. Coinciding with the launch of AC Cars America, the company's dedicated United States division, the AC GT SuperSport will offer up to 1,025 horsepower from a 'specifically tuned V8 powertrain,' AC Cars said in a press release. All that power won't come cheap, as AC plans to charge $550,000 for each of the 25 examples it will build. Deliveries are scheduled to start in 2027. Previous Pause Next Unmute 0:00 / 0:09 Full screen Chevrolet says a next-gen Camaro is still possible. What could it look like? Watch More Recognizable Shape With Aero Upgrades Source: AC Cars Source: AC Cars The GT SuperSport retains the overall shape of the AC Ace, which Carroll Shelby famously imbued with a Ford V8 to create the Cobra. It appears to be an evolution of the AC Cobra GT, a modernized version that's actually a bit larger than the original Ace. To that base, the GT SuperSport adds a larger grille opening, widened track and what AC promises are a 'raft of aerodynamic enhancements,' including a prominent rear spoiler. This new model will likely need all the aero help it can get to keep from sliding off whatever road or track the owner chooses to unleash its 1,025 hp on. That's a big increase from the Cobra GT, which is available with naturally-aspirated and supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engines making 460 hp and 663 hp, respectively. AC claims the more powerful version will do zero to 62 mph in 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 172 mph. Keeping The Conversation Going Source: AC Cars Source: AC Cars Cobra replicas have been around long enough that the concept risks getting stale, especially as younger buyers who don't have firsthand experience of the original Cobras make up a larger share of the market. That's why it's important for AC to continue devising new variations on the theme. Autoblog Newsletter Autoblog brings you car news; expert reviews and exciting pictures and video.

In addition to the V8-powered Cobra GT and the new GT SuperSport, AC offers a modern interpretation of the Ace with more traditional styling and less-intense powertrains. Current options include Ford's 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-four, rated at 320 hp, and an electric powertrain rated at 301 hp with a claimed 200 miles of range. These cars will now be sold in the U.S. through AC Cars America, a new division headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida, that will serve as a central hub for sales and customer relations. AC Cars itself remains headquartered in the United Kingdom, and also has facilities in Germany. About the Author Stephen Edelstein View Profile

Prototype Shelby Cobra Among Highlights at Broad Arrow's 2025 Monterey Jet Center Auction
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious One of the earliest Shelby Cobras ever built, chassis CSX 2003, will headline Broad Arrow's Monterey Jet Center Auction this August, joining a slate of rare American performance cars in one of the year's most anticipated collector car events. The 1962 Shelby Cobra, CSX 2003, is considered among the most historically significant Cobras in existence. Built before Shelby American was fully operational, it was completed at the Pittsburgh-based dealership of Ed Hugus—an early backer of Carroll Shelby's plan to combine British chassis with American V8 power. The car is one of the initial prototypes produced before Ford formally backed Shelby's effort. Hugus' shop played a key role in assembling the first Cobras, with CSX 2003 being the fourth example ever built. It retains its original Ford 260 cubic-inch V8, four-speed transmission and red interior, preserved by its longtime Virginia owner, Dr. Richard McAdam, who acquired the car in 1989 and drove it regularly before storing it in climate-controlled care. Shelby himself reportedly praised the car's condition after seeing it in person during a Ford-hosted tribute event in Washington, D.C. Estimated to sell for $1.5 million to $2 million, CSX 2003 will be joined on the auction block by modern American performance icons, including a 2011 Hennessey Venom GT (chassis 03 of 13) and six cars from The American Performance Collection. Among them are two rare 2017 Dodge Viper ACR models and a 2023 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE. The Monterey Jet Center Auction runs August 13–14 and will offer up to 150 vehicles. The annual event, held during Monterey Car Week, attracted $71.5 million in sales last year. More information is available at

BROAD ARROW ADDS THE FOURTH SHELBY COBRA EVER BUILT, CSX 2003, TO MONTEREY JET CENTER AUCTION
Grosse Pointe, Michigan, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broad Arrow Auctions, a Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY) company, is honored to announce the presentation of one of the earliest Cobras ever built, the 1962 Shelby Cobra, CSX 2003, at its flagship Monterey Jet Center Auction on August 13-14, 2025. The highly significant and remarkably preserved Cobra is joined by additional modern American automotive legends, including a seldom-seen 2011 Hennessey Venom GT, and six cars offered from The American Performance Collection, led by a pair of highly optioned, extremely low-mileage limited edition 2017 Dodge Vipers. The 1962 Shelby Cobra on offer at the Monterey Jet Center Auction, CSX 2003, is the earliest serialized Cobra that may be available for decades to come. As one of the only original prototypes extant, CSX 2003 was completed at Ed Hugus' European Cars dealership in Pittsburgh as the fourth Shelby Cobra ever built. Hugus, like Shelby, was an accomplished sports car racer—one of the few Americans to compete at Le Mans ten times—and it was at his suggestion that Shelby pursued AC Cars in England, whose aging Ace roadster needed a new engine supplier, for his fledgling sports car idea. Shelby seized the opportunity to install Ford's new small-block V8, but he lacked the funding and facilities to begin production. Hugus stepped forward as Shelby's first ally—agreeing to promote, finance, and even help build the first Cobras—a partnership that would literally launch the legend of the Shelby Cobra. In early 1962, Hugus' best mechanics began installing the high-performance Ford 260 cu-in V8 HP experimental engines and Borg Warner four-speed transmissions into the AC aluminum British bodies, completing the very first Shelby Cobras for sale, including CSX 2001, the first production Cobra, and CSX 2003 through CSX 2007. This early effort was crucial to the Cobra's success: it bought Shelby enough time to secure Ford's official backing and set the stage for Shelby American's later triumphs on road and track. CSX 2003 is one of the only prototype examples, in its original, untouched form, known to exist today. Alongside CSX 2004, Ford's Special Vehicles Team in Dearborn evaluated the Cobra as a prerequisite to signing any formal agreement with Shelby. Company engineers—including Henry Ford II himself—inspected and drove CSX 2003 during this period, examining its design and capabilities first-hand. It was after this important testing period that the car was shipped to its first private owner, George Reed of Reed's Racing Rats Motors in Homewood, Illinois. In Reed's ownership, CSX 2003 was shown at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1963. Sometime after this appearance, the car entered a short chain of private owners from 1969 until 1989, when it met Mr. Richard 'Doc' McAdam of Virginia, who would become its loving caretaker for the next 36 years. Mr. McAdam acquired the car somewhat serendipitously. He had purchased a 289 Cobra one year prior. That car's previous owner later approached McAdam seeking to repurchase his former Cobra. McAdam agreed, but only under specific conditions: 'only if you find me another Cobra, and if I approve, we can swap.' The 289 owner subsequently sourced CSX 2003 and presented it as a potential trade. Upon test driving the early Cobra, Mr. McAdam recognized its exceptional state of preservation and agreed to the trade. A few years after acquiring CSX 2003, Mr. McAdam received an invitation through his daughter—a Ford employee at the time—to attend a special event celebrating Carroll Shelby, hosted by Ford Motor Company in Washington, D.C. At this gathering, he had the honor of meeting Shelby personally, who examined the Cobra, praised its exceptional condition, and signed the inner door of the glove compartment. For the past 36 years, Mr. McAdam has cherished CSX 2003, even using the Cobra as his daily transportation to the hospital where he worked as a neurosurgeon. This daily use continued for many years until the Cobra's increasing value and rarity ultimately convinced him to retire it to climate-controlled storage. Even in retirement, however, the consignor and his sons would periodically exercise CSX 2003, ensuring it remained in proper working order while safeguarding its remarkable originality. CSX 2003 is presented at Broad Arrow's Monterey Jet Center Auction in its original configuration of Olde English White over a red interior, and complete with its original Experimental HP 260 cu-in engine, transmission, and rear end (Estimate: $1,500,000 - $2,000,000). This beautifully maintained and well-documented Cobra would be a worthy centerpiece for any collector who appreciates the profound story and unrepeatable provenance of the early Hugus-built Prototype Shelby Cobras. Watch the trailer for a film on this Cobra's fascinating history here. 'I have had the honor and the pleasure of helping clients buy and sell numerous Shelby Cobras over my more than forty years in the collector car business, and CSX 2003 is undoubtedly one of the most original and most significant examples I've ever encountered,' says Donnie Gould, Senior Car Specialist, Broad Arrow Auctions. 'This car's very existence is tied to the Shelby Cobra's origin story, and its current long-term ownership history embodies what attracts so many of us to this great hobby to begin with. We're privileged to present CSX 2003 at our Monterey Jet Center Auction for what is surely an unrepeatable opportunity.' Broad Arrow is delighted to present additional American automotive legends of the modern era in Monterey, led by a 2011 Hennessey Venom GT (Estimate: $350,000 - $450,000, Offered without reserve). The car on offer is chassis 03 of a mere 13 Venom GTs produced between 2011 and 2014. Finished in a striking Venom Red exterior over a black leather and Alcantara cabin, it shows fewer than 2,300 kilometers from new. The Venom GT inherited the timeless Anglo-American tradition of marrying raw American power with sophisticated British chassis architecture. It blends a bespoke carbon-fiber monocoque—sourced from Lotus—with a supercharged 6.2-liter LS9 V8 delivering 725 horsepower through a six-speed Ricardo manual transaxle. Carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes, fully independent suspension and adjustable aero elements ensure stability at extreme speeds, while an Alcantara-trimmed interior, comprehensive instrumentation, and factory-fitted air-conditioning—likely having to do with the Venom's Texas origins—demonstrate that creature comforts were not overlooked. The Venom GT offers a primitive, raw driving experience with the convenience of modern technology—a combination that appeals to today's younger, most active collectors. This is a low-mileage, speed-record-holding, ultra-rare American hypercar offered without reserve in Monterey, a moment not to be missed. Alongside the Venom GT, the American Performance Collection is bringing modern American horsepower to Monterey in spades. The collection features six extensively optioned Dodge and Chevrolet performance icons that are among the finest examples available. 'The American Performance Collection offers modern American automotive ferocity at its finest, with over 4,000 horsepower represented by just six cars,' says Harrison Platz, Car Specialist, Broad Arrow Auctions. 'Each of the cars was acquired from new by the owner and they all maintain extremely low miles today. For the rising generation of car collectors, these are the future of the hobby, with each car offering the best specifications, most interesting color combinations, and some of the highest horsepower examples available for the model.' The group includes: 2017 Dodge Viper GTC ACR Extreme Aero Package, a virtually new, time-capsule example of Dodge's ultimate track-capable supercar. Finished in custom matte gold enhanced with Black GTS stripes over a Black leather and Alcantara interior, it is one of six 'Black Stripe' editions built (Estimate: $325,000 - $375,000); 2017 Dodge Viper ACR Extreme Aero Package, one of just 193 Viper ACRs built for 2017. Finished in optional Gunmetal Pearl, this is the ultimate street-legal track variant of the Viper with significant advancements in aerodynamics and suspension technology (Estimate: $270,000 - $300,000); 2021 Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock, handsomely specified in Smoke Show paint with Black Alcantara/Laguna leather interior and equipped with the Super Stock Package including beefed-up Brembo four-piston brakes, widebody fender flares, and drag-optimized components (Estimate: $90,000 - $100,000, Offered without reserve); 2023 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE, finished in Summit White with Satin Black hood wrap over a Jet Black interior with Red accents. This is a turnkey, road-legal track monster poised for both thrilling 650-horsepower performance and future collectability (Estimate: $85,000 - $95,000, Offered without reserve); 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible, optioned with the top-level 3LZ Preferred Equipment Group. Finished in Shark Grey Metallic with a Black Convertible top and a Kalahari interior, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a near-new example of one of the fastest convertible C7s ever produced (Estimate: $70,000 - $80,000, Offered without reserve); 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, finished in Plum Crazy Pearl Coat over a Black Premium Laguna Leather interior. This is a virtually new example of the most powerful muscle car when new, rated at 707 horsepower (Estimate: $55,000 - $65,000, Offered without reserve). Broad Arrow returns to The Monterey Jet Center in California for its fourth annual flagship sale on August 13-14. Held in conjunction with Motorlux—the best way to kick off Monterey Car Week—thousands of collectors and enthusiasts from around the world will be in attendance. The Monterey Jet Center auction will feature up to 150 desirable collector cars across all categories of the market, set to cross Broad Arrow's signature Monterey auction runway.

This New Lego Shelby Cobra 427 S/C Build Set Is Literally a Kit Car
As the line between children's toys and adult toys becomes increasingly blurred, Lego has come right out and said it: The newly unveiled Lego Icons Shelby Cobra 427 S/C model car set has adult builders specifically in mind. Based on the iconic sports car from the 1960s, we can see why. The 1:10-scale model is exquisitely detailed. It includes doors, a trunk, a hood that opens; a steering wheel that turns; and an intricately recreated V-8 engine. It also comes with a little trophy, a toolbox that can go in the trunk, a fire extinguisher that goes between the seats, and a (tiny) $100 bill as a nod to Carroll Shelby's famous $100 bill game. Finally, it bears a reproduction of Shelby's signature on the glove box. On the outside, the model is unmistakable. Blue body color, sleek lines, white stripes, side-exit exhausts, big grille. Bring this along to your next cars and coffee event and be rightfully accused of showing up with a kit car. Composed of 1,241 pieces, the Cobra 427 S/C stands 5 inches tall and 7.5 inches wide. It's rated for ages 18 and up and will be available to the public starting on July 4. However, Lego Insiders get early access to it on July 1. The model is priced at $159.99. This is hardly the first hyper-detailed, meant-for-adults Lego build kit. It joins the Ferrari Daytona SP3 (3,778 pieces and costs $449.99), the 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) (1,410 pieces and costs $139.99), and the Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole (1,506 pieces and costs $179.99), among others. So popular—and apparently valuable—are some of these sets that there's a thriving Lego black market. It's the outcome every Beanie Babies collector wished for that never materialized. We weren't sure how the Shelby Cobra 427 S/C's curviness would translate as a Lego kit, but unsurprisingly, its designers pulled it off. It looks fantastic.

This 'Fountain of Youth' stunt left Natalie Portman, John Krasinski 'genuinely' terrified
This 'Fountain of Youth' stunt left Natalie Portman, John Krasinski 'genuinely' terrified Show Caption Hide Caption John Krasinski, Natalie Portman talk 'Fountain of Youth' car chase John Krasinski, Natalie Portman reveal they were genuinely frightened while shooting car chase in 'Fountain of Youth' To find immortality, Natalie Portman and John Krasinski first had to survive a white-knuckle car chase. In director Guy Ritchie's 'Fountain of Youth' (streaming now on Apple TV+), a globetrotting adventure in the 'Indiana Jones' and 'National Treasure' mold, the two A-listers play estranged siblings seeking the titular mythical spring. Early in the process, their characters find themselves being pursued through London at high speeds by cop cars, with Krasinski behind the wheel of a slick Shelby Cobra. Well, not technically. He and Portman acted in a pod car built for close-ups while stunt drivers did all the heavy lifting with the actual muscle car seen in wide shots. 'The stunt guys were like, 'If you asked us to drive this (yourself), you would die. ... But the one you and Natalie are in, pffft, we've built it to be like a Volvo,' " Krasinski says. "And I was like, 'Great. That sounds like safety.' "But I will say all those reactions are genuine. No one told us how fast we were going to go.' Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox Adds Portman: 'I definitely was wishing I could wear a helmet. I was genuinely just screaming my head off. It was crazy.' Both actors have played in franchise sandboxes before: Portman starred as Padmé Amidala in the 'Star Wars' prequels and appeared as Thor's love interest Jane Foster in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where 'A Quiet Place' mastermind Krasinski stopped by as Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four. But 'Fountain of Youth' offered the chance to be on the ground floor of a potential new series intended for families. 'It's really fun to come in and get to imagine these characters without inheriting a legacy of something,' Portman says. After his first costume fitting, Krasinski remembers calling his wife Emily Blunt while strolling through the production office. 'I went, 'This is huge!' ' he says. 'I was scared, and then as soon as we started, it almost felt like the gates were open for just real collaboration.' But Luke (Krasinski) and Charlotte Purdue (Portman), who enjoyed a life of adventure before going their separate ways after their father's death, are very clearly not on the same page in the early goings-on of 'Fountain of Youth.' She's a gallery curator in London when her art-thief older brother shows up and steals a painting. It's for a good cause, though. Luke has been hired by a tech billionaire (Domhnall Gleeson) to locate the Fountain of Youth, a legendary locale the siblings' dad always wanted to find, and hidden messages on the back of six masterpieces hold the key to getting there. Working with Ritchie 'definitely provided a lot of that dynamic of this brother who's a little wilder (and) the sister who's a little bit more sensible and responsible,' Portman says. 'And of course, the one who had an impact on both of them, this father that was extremely wild and adventurous. One has kind of followed in his path and the other has driven her personality in antithesis to her father." Luke brings out a less buttoned-up side of Charlotte, who's gone through a messy divorce and brings her 12-year-old son (Benjamin Chivers) on their adventure. And Charlotte constantly reminds Luke not to steal artifacts he doesn't need. One of Krasinski's favorite parts of the movie was 'this whole idea of touching it, but not taking,' he says. 'Fountain of Youth' digs into real history, and Portman learned about things she 'had never heard of before,' like the Wicked Bible, Rembrandt's copies of his own works, and masterpieces that sank with the torpedoed Lusitania in 1915. 'I was like, 'Wait, where's the Lusitania?!' ' she says, noting that screenwriter James Vanderbilt threw in a detail from his own family history. (The Purdues have to break into a waterproof safe that belonged to Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, the writer's real-life great-grandfather, who died aboard the ship.) What mythic locale or priceless artifact will the Purdues pursue next? 'Let's see if people want a sequel first,' Portman cracks. But Krasinski thinks there's a certain nostalgia factor that will bring youngsters to 'Fountain of Youth.' 'I just recently watched 'Back to the Future' for the first time with my oldest daughter, and you could just sense something in the room. There was a promise that was being made with that movie to her that she hadn't had in a long time, if ever – maybe the 'Harry Potter' movies or something,' Krasinski says. 'There was a superpower to those movies that we grew up with, and I hope we get to keep bringing them back. 'It's so hard to find something that we can all watch as a family where it's not too young for us, it's not too adult for them, and that everybody enjoys it. And this hopefully is one of them.'
