AC Ace Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1992–2000) — First Generation
The first-generation AC Ace is a compact British roadster built around simple, driver-focused engineering: an open two-seat body, a front-mounted gasoline engine and rear-wheel drive, in a handful of closely related versions.
Each AC Ace engine here is a gasoline unit driving the rear wheels, with the 2.9 MT and 3.0 MT pairing manual shifting to a relaxed, torque-led delivery. The 2.9 AT swaps in an automatic for easier town driving, while the drivetrain layout keeps steering feel light and balance predictable.
