With the current Ace, AC throws its hat into the ring as a manufacturer of truly luxurious sports cars. This is mostly thanks to a long term contract with Lotus who now supply the 350bhp engine which can be fitted to the Ace as an option, the alternative being a 305bhp Ford V8 "Quad Cam" unit. Apart from fearsome supercar performance, the Ace also boasts creature comforts appropriate to a prestige vehicle, such as air conditioning, full hide interior and satellite navigation to name but a few.
