Arash AF-10 for fortunes even in times of crisis

England is full of small independent manufacturers who produce for most of them, high performance cars nicknamed cars, few but the prices are exorbitant.

Arash Cars is a small company which was established in 2006. Penates She established her in the town of Sawston, near Cambridge, England. Since then, their first obsession was to draw and design a car out of the ordinary, the AF-10.

The silhouette of this bolide is not without reminding us that of the Ferrari Enzo, including view? rear. Like most so-called exotic existing cars, this newcomer is assembled around a frame made of steel and carbon amalgam, which is grafted a body MADE ENTIRELY carbon fiber. Needless to say, each model is assembled entirely by hand.

Not very environmentally friendly

Friant emanations of CO2, this beast uses a V8 engine in central position of 7.0 liters that develops 550 horsepower. The latter wants to be a declination motor home of the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Only a six-speed manual transmission is offered.

This beautiful 'Ride' can very readily reach 100 km / h and in just 3.5 seconds. Also according to the data of the manufacturer, it could reach a maximum speed of 328 km / h. 'The sky is the limit', even in these times of crisis, because for a few dollars more, you can offer the model AF-10 turbocharged whose power is estimated at 850 horsepower.

But rest assured, with Arash Cars is currently working on the realization of a cut to specifications and more modest prices.
