FYI - Autoblog has just published its First Drive review of the Perana Z-One aka AC 378GT Zagato.
Read it here: http://www.autoblog.com/2013/01/22/2013-perana-z-one-first-drive-review/
The review also includes a short video and plenty of pics.
Interesting. The AC badged cars will have better interiors than this car.
This is US dealer Hillbank's AC 378:

Branding and positinning between Perana and AC is getting complex...
The Perana is no longer in production. AC has bought the design and will be putting a revised version into production. Both Perana and AC versions were/are built by Hi Tech in South Africa.
"AC has brought the design". Really? Design has been transferred to 'AC' might be nearer the mark?
bought or brought [?]
Bought (I landed on my 'r's again...)
In some places, one might read Zagato Perana Z-One. Where did Zagato land?
AC's directors (4?) conclude that different branding and other amendments will greatly improve this car's sales prospects; time will be their judge.
AC Automotive in France has some footage of the AC Zagato with an interview with Stéphane Peterhansel:

The ASC Mk VI is also visible, the new red model and the early prototype from 2010.
I really can't understand why they still feature the early (<2010) prototype on the front page of their website and on the advert for Rétromobile 2013.
Rétromobile, that is the hint for the 2010 model ;-)
rétro is generally a bit more than just 3 years in arrears :-)
the Peter Hansel video also stems from April 2012 [B)]
all blue models in the videos ar the same pre 2010
I presume they want to make a launch very soon, as roll-out for customers will start in Spring. After the technical aspects have been yet solved, the marketing can enter the dance. I am pretty confident that the Mk VI will be a positive surprise.
