Launched by AC Cars at the 1999 London Motor Show, a new chapter in the Cobra history was written with the Mk. IV Cobra Carbon Road Series (CRS). The CRS is based upon the chassis and power train of its aluminium bodied brother, the Superblower, that shares the lineage of the 4inch ladder chassis of the 427 MK3 of the sixties, but with a very modern twist of boasting an all carbon-fibre body that was the result of collaboration between AC and Kid Jensen Racing, the successful F3000 team.

‘ The CRS features a 5.0L V8 fuel injected engine. This develops 225 BHP@4200rpm which delivers a power-to-weight ratio of 211 bhp/ton. Performance is electrifying with 0-60 reached in well under 5.5 seconds. The Cobra uses the same 5 speed manual transmission as found in the Superblower, Hydratrak limited slip differential, independent front and rear suspension, rack and pinion steering and disc brakes all round (4-pot AP racing brakes and ventilated discs at the front) which makes the CRS, in all respects, a true cobra’.

This motorcar in particular, chassis number ‘CRS9510’ was invoiced to Hills of Woodford, Essex on the 20 of July 2000, shortly after it was registered on the 1st of September 2000 to its first keeper. It remains in the original specification of Rosso Corso with Twin Silver Stripes paired with Grey leather interior and a black tonneau cover. The original weather gear, side screens are present.
