British company Arash has just unveiled its latest model at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. Called the Arash AF8, it is a classic supercar, with a low-slung body with short overhangs and wide fenders, which will definitely turn a few heads on the road.
The car has a mid-engine rear-wheeled-drive architecture, and features a carbon fiber and aluminum reinforced hybrid tubular steel chassis with a carbon body – which means the AF8 only weighs 1,200 kg. Powered by a massive 7.0-liter V8 engine that churns out 550 hp and 640 Nm of torque, it can go from 0 to 62 mph in 3.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of 200 mph. Other features include carbon intake system, a 6-speed manual transmission, dry sump lubrication, titanium connecting rods, and a forged crankshaft.
The AF8 also comes with a carbon interior (with the color of your choosing, of course), a heated front seat and a touch screen multimedia system.
Out of the total AF8 production, only 36 first-edition cars will be produced and will be available for around £165,000 (around $275,000).
