If you’ve ever been tempted to buy an electric roadster, but didn’t want to pad the pockets of a tone-deaf billionaire with fascist tendencies who launches his half-assed version of an electric sports car into orbit just for shits and giggles, then perhaps it’s time to consider a battery-electric version of “one of the world’s most beautiful cars.”

From the company which birthed one of the most influential and unique automobile designs to ever grace the roads comes a model that captures the halcyon days of gas-powered roadsters, but instead of using fossil fuels as its motive force, it uses cutting edge carbon fiber construction and electric drivetrain technology to deliver world-class ride and handling — emissions-free.

“AC Cars, Britain’s oldest active vehicle manufacturer, has unveiled the AC Ace Classic electric at the 2024 SEMA Show in Las Vegas with electrified performance technologies partner TREMEC Electric GT. A stunning combination of classic styling and cutting-edge powertrain design, the new AC Ace Classic electric is a bold new model for the company behind many iconic AC sports cars, going back to the famous Brooklands record breaking car of 1922.” — Electric Cars Report

EV Report says,”The vehicle is built with a hand-laid carbon fiber body, capturing the essence of classic roadsters, while the bespoke TREMEC EV powertrain delivers 300 bhp and a torque of 500Nm (369 ft-lb). This electric roadster maintains the exhilaration of vintage sports cars, with acceleration from 0-62 mph in just 4.9 seconds and a range of 200+ miles on a full charge, thanks to its 72 kWh battery.”

“With a hand-laid carbon fibre body, and a unique hand finished interior, the new AC Ace Classic electric perfectly encapsulates the halcyon days of sports cars, but packs the punch of a bespoke 300 bhp (225 kW) TREMEC EV powertrain With 500Nm (369ft lb) of torque and 200+ mile range, the new AC Ace Classic electric accelerates from 0-62mph in 4.9 secs and has a total battery capacity of 72 kWh.”

“… a bespoke TREMEC Electric GT eGT413 Modular EV platform is a stunning zero tailpipe emissions alternative. With 300 eHorse Power (225 kW), a 72 kWh battery package, the system keeps the car’s total weigh under 1,134 kg (2,500 lb).”
