The Cobra is a by-word for fast, muscular motoring and for many years in its original guise was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world\u0019s fastest production car. Now in its latest reincarnation, the AC Superblower &#8211; powered by a supercharged 5.0 litre V8 engine &#8211; still combines mighty power with unique and distinctive body styling. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Conceived more than 40 years ago from the original AC Ace, the all-aluminium body continues to be hand crafted using the original tooling and retains the enduring good looks which have found it favour with a loyal circle of driving enthusiasts around the world.<\/p>\n<p>The Superblower&#8217;s interior is trimmed with finest English leather and deep pile wool carpeting. Superblower motoring has more to do with muscle-power than creature comfort, however. When the Cobra was originally conceived it developed a well-earned reputation for delivering the ultimate in performance. Over the years increasing regulatory constraints diminished that raw power to a point where &#8211; before AC Car Group came into being in 1996 &#8211; the car was a pale imitation of its former self.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Superblower has changed all that, and &#8211; through the introduction of supercharging &#8211; has restored this motoring icon\u0019s extremes of power, putting 320 entirely useable bhp at the driver&#8217;s disposal. Top speed is 155 mph and Superblower delivers a 0 to 60 mph time of a blistering 4.2 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the new engine package comes a re-designed retro-look interior. This features new circular Smiths instruments, mounted on a central binnacle, new seats and new carpeting. There is a warning light cluster in front of the driver and a new steering wheel. There is a stylish, hand-tooled aluminium gear knob and the startling yellow show car features a colour-coordinated instrument binnacle. The Superblower is priced from \u00c2\u00a369,795.<\/p>\n<p>Story by AC Car Group Limited, Press release October 20th 1998<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: large;\">DASHBOARD
