I really, really hope they get this right. Even if the new car looks awfully like that Ford concept of last year :/

Nice looking car - deserved of the name but they have to do something about the puny power output. This is what happened when the Invicta S1 was launched - wonderful styling only to be let down by a lack lustre engine - the same engine in fact. Then they added the supercharger and 600 horsepower was the order of the day and now it goes as it should.

If I had any influence at AC, I would not let that beauty leave the factory with anything less than 500hp/ft/lb.

Most hot shopping cars have 300hp, scoobs, ALfa's etc.

Come on AC, make that badge shine, thats a beauty of a car

Hmmm, looks far too much like the Ford concept. Even they didn't like it that much so they went back to the drawing board and came up with the Shelby Cobra coupe thingy.

Now THAT's what AC should be making (or at least a retro version ala the Superformance coupe)
