AC Ace 5.0 V8

The AC Ace 5.0 V8 reaches 60 mph in 5.28 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.57 s, tripping the lights at 103.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.17 s and the eighth mile in 8.85 s, reaching 100 mph in 12.03 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Ace 5.0 V8

The 1999 AC Ace 5.0 V8 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,512 kg with 350 bhp, which works out at 231 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 231 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.17 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,546th quickest to 60 mph, and the 3rd quickest of the 3 ACs here. Its 103.9 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 6 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

13.57 s at 103.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.85 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.17 s.
How much power does the AC Ace 5.0 V8 have?
350 bhp and 1,512 kg, which is 231 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 255 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the AC Ace 5.0 V8?
Closest here on pace: Holden Commodore GTS-R VT II (5.23 s), Peugeot 308 GTi 270 T9 (5.29 s), SEAT Leon Cupra R Mk III (5.32 s). Each one can be raced against the AC Ace 5.0 V8 in the panel at the top of this page.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The AC Ace 5.0 V8 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 6 of its 7 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
