At Geneva 2012 and a car that I think deserves more discussion!

Has a 6.2 Liter V8 that produces 434hp! I am a fan of AC cars and I'm really glad the Zagato team and AC made this :dopey:

Also think it looks GREAT! đź‘Ť

Oh yeah and only $144,000
 
I would like to subtract some of the openings on the front quarter panel (or all of them). Otherwise, this IS a great-looking car. Probably performs very well to match its looks.
 
If I was at home I'd photoshop it in myself, but what I would like to see is that lower vent being used for a front / side exit exhaust....
 
I'd like it more if it had Ford's Coyote under the hood instead of GM's lightfooted cheerleader..
 
Looks a bit too curvy like some Zagato cars do, but I dig it.

Why is what I think is a Noble hanging around in the back of the shop though?
 
Rebodied Corvette? Might be good, but it better have a nice interior and Grand Sport suspension.
 
^ Looks much better, but now the front vent becomes too conspicuous :banghead:

It's a great looking car, but the lower side vent and the front side vent are too distracting for my taste :odd:
 
I do not like. To many vents. I'm not sure if it is planned to be a submarine car in the next Bond film and they are actually gills, or if it's just ugly.
 
Actually it kinda reminds me of this Zagato Perana Z-one...

a little too much actually? I wonder if at the last second they decided to team up with AC? Im just happy AC is back wooo!
 
Because that's the same car. Very strange it took 3 years to get this back to Geneva with the exact same specifications, though.

Quite a bargain, in a way, but even still I can't help but say.

With only 100mls more displacement, the V12 in the Ferrari F12 generates 730BHP. So I smell an American engine here (maybe that was part of the point), but that big and the little power? hmm. 434 is quite good, if it's a small V8, or a turbo V/straight 6, otherwise, a bit too heavy and underpowered I think. Shame though, lovely body.
 
Those rims are hideous.

And it appears to have been violently mauled.

I'm pretty sure that it has a Corvette engine
 
When did 434hp become underpowered? This isn't a track car.

For a car like this, rather have 434hp I can access at any time than 534hp that only works at the top end or makes the engine too high strung and lumpy.

Also, you might want to do some research into the "heaviness" of an aluminum V8 like the LS. Displacement does not equal weight.

Edit. And a Ford Coyote sounds like a good idea for this car.
