Default New car: Arash AF10



A new concept supercar called the Arash AF10 is set to debut at the British motor show in July. It will use the 550 hp 7.0 liter engine from the Corvette Z06, with a carbon fiber chassis, double-wishbone suspension, and a six-speed transmission. It will have a 0-60 time of under four seconds, and a top speed of over 200 mph. Should the car be produced, it will have a retail price of around £170,000, which would be well over $200,000 here in North America.
meh.....

Why spend 200,000k for that? Why not just get a Z06 for 70k? But I guess it looks kind of cool.

Then buy some long tubes, intake, cam, exhaust, a carbon fibre hood (since it has a hint of a front bias), and some new rubber, and voila! Half the price, all the performance, maybe more.

Because if you already have C6 Z, why not get a mid engined C6 Z to go along with it?

That's when you get an Ultima, Mosler, or a Factory Five GTM.

Except those 3 are not refined multi-use sports cars.

And I guess it will be mid-engine so that would be a big difference from the Z06...

Doesn't sya that it wont be either.

But at 170,000 quid it wont be a kit car like the Ultima or Mosler or FF or even Mosler...

Well until the car even exists outside of a drawing, how about we hold off on the bickering considering for all either of us knows, it could be nothing more than a poorly built hunk of car. And no, price does not determine quality.
