The AC Greyhound (1959–1963) was a 2+2 version of the Ace and Aceca automobiles made by AC Cars of Thames Ditton, Surrey, England and announced for the opening of the Motor Show in October 1959.[4] The Greyhound, of which 83 examples were built,[citation needed] had a two-door, four-seater aluminium body, and inherited most of the technical components of the Ace and Aceca but it had a wheelbase 10 inches or 250mm longer and coil springs in place of a transverse leaf spring at the front:
ladder-frame chassis
independent coil spring suspension front and rear. Unlike the Ace and Aceca the rear suspension used semi-trailing arms.
4-speed manual gearbox, overdrive optional
rack and pinion steering;
11.75 in (298 mm) disc brake front, 11 in (279 mm) drum brake rear
Various straight-six engines were fitted:
1.991-litre AC Cars OHC (75 bhp @ 4500 rpm; 1000 kg)
2.553-litre Ford Zephyr engine (up to 170 bhp @ 5500; 1040 kg)
1962
A 2-litre Bristol engined car with overdrive tested by The Motor magazine in 1961 had a top speed of 110 mph (180 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 11.4 seconds.
