Ascari A10
New Ascari unveiled
December 9, 2005
Source: Topgear.com
British supercar maker Ascari has unveiled a second model to join its amazing KZ1.
The A10 is based on the company's 600bhp race car that competes in the Spanish GT series.
Using a development of the KZ1's engine, the A10 road car will pack 600bhp and weigh just 1,280kg to deliver a top speed of 220mph.
A race-bred six-speed sequential manual gearbox will deal with the power.
Only 50 A10s will be built and each will set back its owner £350,000 when the car goes on sale in the summer of 2006.
Each of the A10s will be built in Banbury, Oxfordshire with a carbon fibre body and huge rear wing.
Chris Burton, of Ascari, said: "This car's roots are on the race track, making it a truly inspiring driving machine, yet it's refined enough by design to be driven every day."

Update on the A10...
Press release...
Press release...
British Supercar manufacturer, Ascari has produced the answer to the Ferrari Enzo FXX, but for keeps!
Whereas the Enzo FXX is not road legal, it was produced to be driven during track days only and costs just over £1 million (1.5m EUROS), the A10 is road legal so can be driven home and parked on your drive, to the envy of your neighbours for just £350,000 (522.000 EUROS).
Designed, engineered and hand built in Banbury, England the A10 has 625bhp and weighs in at around 1200kg, thanks to its lightweight carbon fibre bodywork. Reaching 60mph in just 2.8 seconds and 100mph in less than 6 seconds, the manufacturer claims the A10 is the fastest road going production car around a race track.
Only 10 are available and will be built to order.
The A10 is more than just a revamped KZ1, which has found success in its first year of competing in the GT3 in 2006. It has new body panels, a reworked engine and suspension, with extensive brake modifications to cope with the extra power. Lucky owners will also benefit, if they wish, from some luxuries such as remote central locking, electric windows and door mirrors, climate control and a Thatcham Category 1 alarm system.
The UK’s newest Supercar will make its first ever appearance at the 2006 MPH show in Birmingham, England on 28 October.
MPH’06 kick starts on October 26th at Birmingham’s NEC for 3 days before heading south to Earls Court in London between 2nd and 5th November.

The sizzle in the Steak
Now it would be worthy of the name A10 if they had one of these on the front.

I'm sure it's an option package.
