Default 'New' AC Cars Mk VI

extract from (probably) the press release:

Quote:
AC Cars has unveiled its latest incarnation of the classic Cobra. It's called the MKVI and has a Corvette engine and Porsche brakes.

AC Cars has joined into a “long-term strategic alliance” with German company Gullwing GmbH, which will be building the new cars at its factory in Heyda.

The MKVI will be handmade, with a part-aluminium body placed over a triangulated, jig-welded spaceframe chassis.

One engine will be offered, a Corvette 6.2-litre V8, with 437bhp for the GT and 647bhp for the GTS.

Of note is the 'GmbH' notation on the name of the German company

check out what Wiki has to say about this

Looks like another set of press releases without much else
(or am I cynical)
