What would the iconic AC Cobra look like and how would the sports car perform if it had continued to evolve past the conclusion of official production in the late Sixties? Many so-called ‘Continuation Cars’ have attempted to answer that question using ingredients intended for and donated by less focused machines.
But the XCS 427 stands alone in offering customers the most exclusive and satisfying re-imagining of this timeless two-seat roadster. It is a thoroughly modern machine engineered and manufactured to order by an artisan car-builder intent on improving the irresistible combination of bespoke, British-built chassis and American muscle first proposed for AC’s roadster by Carroll Shelby.
