^^^ 650K US est. of course :roll:


Whereas the Enzo FXX is not road legal, it was produced to be driven during track days only and costs over $1,700,000, the A10 is road legal so can be driven home and parked on your drive, to the envy of your neighbors for just $650,000

^ how dare they compare it to the FXX at the first place..
its just a somewhat faster Ascari.. :roll: nothing more..
I tell you.. any kit maker think he can take on the best these days..
like they have the experience and resources and technology to do so..
(not even mentioning then that the uses of both cars are totally different, and if anything this car should have to compete with the zonda F.. :roll: and who will be the idiot that would take that over the zonda i dont know.. but i'll be laughing at his face.. :roll: )

@ TNT: Not so fond of the Ascari, but that's a really, really cool new sig. (I don't know how new it is, but it's new to me.)

The headlights of the Ascari's are based on the Peug 206 headlights.
I saw this car in reallife last year during my factory visit. The car looks great in reallife IMO. But I agree that comparing it with a FXX is a bit too much. The reason they did this is maybe because this is also a stripped out race car. The interior is very simple, absolute no luxury.

its new this week sometime.

but about Ascari, the standard Ascari is still only two seconds behind the Zonda and Enzo on TopGear's lap times. And the weight of the car is a lot lower then other cars of its type soooo a FXX fight is closer then more people think.

@ Ronin005: yeah if they hooked up an F1 race there i know that their name would shoot up in popularity.

Not bad, but nothing special really. I was expecting more oomph.

you can see the comperison with the FXX because it's just a circuit car... but the FFX is in an whole other leaque than the Ascari. I quite like the normal ascari, sad in it at the dutch care fare (autorai for the ones who've heared of it) but the racer is a little over the top. why would you buy it? if you have 650K to spend i would buy someting els.
