| Additional Info: The Ace returned to the drawing board back in the 1980's and I believe a few smaller engined prototypes were built (2.0 Turbo and 2.8 V6). A few V8 prototypes were built before a very limited number were finally built around 1994-1997 with 5.0 V8's putting out around 240-260bhp, 0-60 in 5.9 secs or a 4.6 litre supercharged engine with 320bhp, 0-60 in 5.7 secs. (some of these may have carried on production with the new owners (below) after 1997). 1997/98 saw a revamped Ace now owned by the AC Car Group. 5.0 supercharged versions put out between 320bhp and 350bhp. A 3.5 litre 32v twin turbo V8 version was also built in 1998/99, with 354bhp. Production stopped again in 2000/2001. As with the original Ace a hardtop version was also built called the Aceca. |
