AC Cars (England) Ltd is launching a limited edition run of zero-emission cars, the first-ever electric cars to bear the AC marque. This model is called the "AC Cobra Series 1 electric" and just 58 cars will be made. The 58 number is a celebration of the 58 years since the production of the first AC Cobra, one of the most iconic cars ever built which, when it was launched in 1962, featured a Ford engine that did so much to create the AC Cobra’s unique pedigree.
