For Bonafide petrolheads, the Cobra GT ranks high up on the list of the world’s most desirable cars. Getting your hands on an original model though could be a tall order. However, thanks to AC Cars, fans can get behind the Cobra GT, especially now in Asia as it makes its regional debut.
Britain’s oldest active vehicle manufacturer, AC Cars has announced Ace One Motors Co. Ltd as its exclusive dealer in Taiwan. The appointment of the company to distribute AC Cars Cobra GT range of sports cars in Asia is set to drive regional awareness and develop its international sales network.
From a business standpoint, Ace One Motors will showcase the sports car manufacturer’s AC Cobra GT Roadster and GT Coupe models to buyers in the market. It will also provide after sales support for the growing range of vehicles.
Asian Footprint For AC Cars

For interested buyers in Asia though, the appointment of this distributorship will grow the presence of the AC Cobra GT. Featuring a clean-sheet design, the model employs a clean-sheet design to deliver cutting-edge and modern sports cars.
However, with new manufacturing technologies and materials, it brings the beloved car up to speed for the modern era. Instantly recognisable and faithful to the spirit of the original AC Cobra of the 1960s, owners now benefit from new levels of performance and handling with the inclusion of modern drivetrain and control technologies.
Like the original icon, the AC Cobra GT is extremely light and with exceptional torsional rigidity. Through AC Cars, the model now benefits from a highly advanced aluminium chassis cloaked in a flowing carbon-composite body.
Owners can also choose from a range of powerful engines that deliver the speed and soundtrack expected by sports car fans. The company currently offers the AC Cobra GT Coupe and the AC Cobra GT Roadster in its portfolio.

From a business standpoint the appointment of Ace One Motors is significant to grow the AC Cars brand in the region. The Taiwan distributor is already investing in a newly commissioned showroom, which will open in Q2 of this year.
Located in the exclusive Da’an neighbourhood in Taipei, the outlet will act exclusively as a destination for AC Cars customers. As a brand centre for its sports cars, it will also showcase the historic company’s exclusive merchandise collection.
The new space will feature a showroom and private consultation suite. It will also include an atelier area, café and presentation space. Designed to immerse buyers in their ownership journey, the space will provide a conducive environment to select every aspect of their car’s specification – including bespoke touches via AC Cars’ personalisation process.
For David Conza, Chief Executive Officer of AC Cars, the new establishment of an Asian footprint is a significant milestone. “We are extremely proud to be working with Ace One Motors Co. Ltd. This is a great first step into Asia, and we’re looking forward to a very close relationship going forward, and how this can develop and grow our presence in this strategically important market.”
