The History of the AC Cobra MKIV CRS
The Cobra MKIV CRS (Carbon Road Series) is based upon the same platform as the Superblower but features a carbon-fibre bodyshell which gives the car a significant weight saving.
The car is powered by a 5 litre V8 producing 225 bhp. The CRS is available at a lower price than the Superblower but still built to the same exacting standards (the CRS shares its chassis and a naturally aspirated version of its power unit), thus putting AC ownership into a much wider circle than before while still retaining the essential AC values and performance.
The AC Cobra CRS uses the same five-speed gearbox as the Superblower, together with a Hydratrak limited slip differential, independent front and rear suspension, rack and pinion steering and disc brakes all round (ventilated at the front).
