AC 378 GT

Vehicle Overview

The AC 378 GT by Zagato represents a modern revival of the collaboration between Zagato and AC Cars, initially dating back to 1957. The first collaboration produced the one-off AC Ace Bristol Zagato, a stunning berlinetta GT featuring the iconic double bubble roof. Fast forward to the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, where Zagato and AC Cars introduced the 378 GT. Assembled at the AC plant in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, the AC 378 GT boasts bodywork characterized by soft, flowing lines, a design ethos that extends into the cabin. The interior embodies Zagato’s classic minimalist and rational approach, creating a harmonious and elegant driving environment. The car’s aluminium tubular structure is engineered to support a powerful American powertrain, specifically a 600 hp V8 engine sourced from the Chevrolet Camaro. This potent engine provides the 378 GT with exceptional performance, marrying European design with American muscle. Originally showcased under the name Perana Z-One in 2009, the 378 GT underwent rebranding and refinement before its official debut. Priced around €109,990, the vehicle offers a unique blend of Italian design excellence and robust American engineering. The 378 GT is a testament to the enduring legacy of the collaboration between two iconic automotive brands, delivering a modern sports car that honors its historical roots while embracing contemporary performance and design standards.
