Ascari A10

Designed and built in Banbury, England, the Ascari A10 features a 625-horsepower BMW engine. Weighing less than 1,300 kg, thanks to its lightweight carbon fiber body, the A10 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds and its top speed exceeds 350 km/h.

The name of this supersport “A10” refers to the tenth anniversary of Team Ascari, celebrated in 2006. To celebrate with something special, the technicians developed an optimized version of the previous Ascari KZ1. The degree of technical evolution is really remarkable in all aspects of the car.

The Ascari A10 features a monocoque structure made of carbon fiber. Thus, this structure provides strength and rigidity in the face of the great torque exerted by the BMW engine, which, incidentally, is the same V8 that equips the BMW M5 2006.

With this extreme sports performance, the Ascari A10 is able to compete with other supercars like the Ferrari Enzo, the Lamborghini Murcielagoor the Pagani himself Zonda S.

In the interior, elegance is appreciated in design and finishing details. Materials were used very correctly combined, to count then with the elegance of leather, alcantara and the sporty and casual touch of polished aluminum.
