AC 3000ME Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1979–1985) — First Generation
The first-generation AC 3000ME combines coupe styling with a traditional sports-car driving experience. Its powertrain is central to that character, particularly if you enjoy choosing gears yourself.
The 3.0 MT coupe provides one example of the AC 3000ME engine and transmission combination: gasoline power, a manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. You operate the clutch and select each gear, adding involvement on open roads but requiring more effort when traffic repeatedly slows and stops.
