Ascari, the same company that is creating the fastest
car in the UK, have revealed details of their newest project. Called the
A10, this is a 600 bhp, road-going version of Ascari's Spanish GT Race
Car.
So far, a single yellow example has been completed and is being
extensively tested before the regular production version is revealed in
2006. Engineers at Banbury, and the exclusive Race Resort Ascari
racetrack, are committed to ensuring this 220mph supercar delivers
world-class performance similar to other independents such as Pagani,
Koenigsegg and Mosler.
Like its KZ1 predecessor, the 1280kg A10 will be rare, with just 50 to be
hand-built at Banbury. With an exclusive with a price tag of around
>>350,000, Ascari's announcement is particularly bold.
Power will come from a modified BMW M5 engine with a six speed manual as
standard or a sequential gearbox available as an option. With its wide
carbon fibre body and matching fixed rear wing, the A10 more dramatic
compared to the KZ1 it's based off.
Chris Burton from Ascari says: ''We are extremely excited by the prospect
of launching the A10. This car's roots are in the racetrack making it a
truly inspiring driving machine, yet refined enough by design to be driven
every day as a supercar.''
Ascari is now ready to
pre-register for the 50 A10s.
