Superblower (1997)
A new owner for AC Cars arrived in 1996 with Pride Automotive. It quickly introduced two new models and the Superblower was the range-topper. With a supercharged 302ci (4.9-liter) V8, it delivered a surprisingly lazy 324 hp. It was not the sales star that had been hoped for and only 22 were made.
However, Pride tried another tack with a turbocharged model called the 212 S/C that used a twin-turbo 3.5-liter Lotus V8 borrowed from the Esprit. Again, it failed to find favour and only two were built.
