Video: Why is this AC Cobra an "Animal"?

02nd March 2017

We have a fiercely loving, yet somewhat volatile relationship with the all-conquering, all-powerful AC Cobra. There’s no doubting they’re a favourite of ours.

Often one of the headline machines along with the Lightweight E-types in the spectacular RAC TT Celebration, the Cobra is famously heavy on power, light on grip and, much like its namesake, poised to strike at the slightest provocation. But what’s it like to actually tame a Cobra? Watch and listen in the video above, as Shaun Lynn, owner and driver of one of the most storied Cobras to race at Goodwood, tells of how ‘644 CGT’ “keeps you busy” behind the wheel. It seems like only yesterday we were in awe at these stunning machines getting crossed up around the Motor Circuit during last year’s Revival.
