Terrible blue color. That Maserati a couple days ago had the perfect blue. This doesn't work.

Justin Harris Mar 12, 2012
AC actually remade the cobra if anyone didn't know and the headlights are oval for that too. But this is a lot cheaper I think they said they were making 500 of the cobras for 500,000 each while this is one fifth that.

Drew u a smart man lol

Drew J. Kleyweg Mar 12, 2012
this is ac not shelby. this has nothing to do with shelby or the cobra. you should probably read.

Abraham Mendoza Mar 12, 2012
I think its supposed to be a Daytona Coupe.

Hektor Yberg Mar 12, 2012
That's not a cobra! A cobra are somehow supposed to be simple but that's more like a Aston Martin. The charm of the car was in the simpleness. Now the "cobra" got nothing except the aero dynamic.

Justin Routh Mar 12, 2012
I like the old round ones too but personally i dont mind the change.

James E Caldwell Mar 12, 2012
They should have stayed with round or even oval headlights to have at least a small connection to the original.

Description: Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, the AC 378 GT Zagato is the first all-new model by the company in more than a decade. AC and Zagato first collaborated back in 1957 creating a one-off AC Ace Bristol...

Whoops i meant 378 gt

Justin Klumpp Mar 12, 2012
Not a very good name. I like zagato but not the ac 378 part

Description: However power comes from the same 6.2-liter, naturally aspirated V8, found in the Corvette C6, which AC claim is good for 434hp and 430lb-ft of torque. Mated to a six-speed manual transmission, the 1,...

No, just my opinion.

Patrick Joseph Mar 12, 2012
You'll have to sell more than a BMW to buy this. But that would be worth it.

Abraham Mendoza Mar 12, 2012
Of course you would. It's a rare car, and looks different than anything else out there. You trying to start something?

Yasser Abdelhalim Mar 12, 2012
I would rather drive this then a corvette any day.

Justin Routh Mar 12, 2012
His finishing touches on it

Justin Routh Mar 12, 2012

The Aston Zagato is waaaaay better than this.

Aislin Cooper Mar 12, 2012
Zagato style is a bulging grille

Winston Pandji Mar 12, 2012
I think he's saying that the front looks similar to aston zagato, which i agree. Maybe it's a typical zagato style?

Matt Robbins Mar 12, 2012
No. It's an AC. Read the article lol

@michael, you're right. They just took the Perana concept and slapped the AC badge on it. This design has been around for a couple years and now someone just put their name on it. I guess it's a sh!t load cheaper to just rebadge an old concept.

Patrick Joseph Mar 12, 2012
Very sexy. Well worth the price. On top of that it performs

Pratik Parija Mar 12, 2012
Looks like an Aston Martin. But cool Shelby

Memo Cabrera Mar 12, 2012
No one thinks this looks like the new f12berlinetta or however you spell it

wmg Mar 12, 2012
in the words of mayor quimby, oh baby oh yeah oh baby oh yeah

Imminentvictory Mar 12, 2012
Tvr knocked up a panoz and gave birth to this

Michael Riley Mar 12, 2012
did no one read the article? you're all saying TVR but they said in yhe article its based off the Perena Z-One Concept.

Timothy Hooker Mar 12, 2012
Ill take it if y'all don't want it! I like its old school muscle look

Justin Klumpp Mar 12, 2012
Looks like a tvr, viper, and aston mixed

Jj Call Mar 12, 2012
I didn't even know that AC was still around.

Abraham Mendoza Mar 12, 2012
TVR sagaris in a suit. That's all I have to say.

Cody Andree Mar 12, 2012
Ya the tvr Tuscan speed six to be exact. Total copy except for grill.

Dillon Dixon Mar 12, 2012
Don't say Aston at all. AC has had that style grill just as long as Aston.

Thibault Leroy Mar 12, 2012
i see some aston in this probably because of the front grill

Cody Andree Mar 12, 2012
A wannabe Tuscan speed six

looks like a Perana Z-One

Nick Tadych Mar 13, 2012
Sorta looks like a miura

Matthew Crighton Mar 13, 2012
Front end isnt amazing, but this color is much better. It looks pretty good

Ross Black Mar 12, 2012
Saw one of these at Barrett Jackson, they're not nice in my point of view from the design

wmg Mar 12, 2012
am in love. to hell with camero

Matthew McKernan Mar 12, 2012
This looks pretty good

Drake Hughes Mar 12, 2012
Orange looks good :)

Jt Collier Mar 12, 2012
@ David Read the article....

Mark Ridenour Mar 12, 2012
Bunch of stuff going on in front of a pillars, then nothing. Plain sheet metal. Looks good, but put some vents in the middle or rear to balance it out.

David Pires-Ihsaan Mar 12, 2012
looks like the perana Z-one

Zachary Sindelar Mar 12, 2012
Looks better in silver!

quadrophine Mar 12, 2012
I think its pretty nice. a little busy but nice

Nick Schnee Mar 12, 2012
Don't like the front. Looks like it was stretched, and those air vents are no good too.

Abraham Mendoza Mar 12, 2012
I want on in maroon. Right now. RIGHT NOW!!!

Byron Borggard Mar 12, 2012
Looks like an Aston Martin and a Viper had a baby

Dillon Dixon Mar 12, 2012
I'm gonna guess its gonna be a flat oval back. Kinda like the the old Daytona coupe.
