Autosport International marks the world debut of the Ascari KZ1 supercar.
Revealed for the first time by its creator and owner of Ascari, Klaas Zwart, it will take centre stage on the evo magazine Track and Road Car Gallery.
This coincides with Ascari's announcement that it is now taking orders for its first bespoke KZ1. There is no time limit on the production as each KZ1 is individually hand crafted and only 50 will ever be created. Priced at £235,000, the KZ1 can only be acquired directly from Ascari's European headquarters in Banbury, England.
The KZ1 has a super-light, super-strong carbon fibre monocoque chassis and body shell. Itsl V8 engine, tuned to deliver 500bhp, combined with a power-to-weight ratio of 381 PS/tonne, enables the KZ1 to achieve a zero to 60mph time of 3.7 seconds, and a top speed of 200mph.
KZ1 owners will have their car hand-built at Ascari's 45,000 square foot Banbury headquarters by its 30-strong team of vehicle engineers selected from the world of F1 and motorsport.
Automotive interior designers, Frazero, worked closely with the Ascari team to create the dashboard and components within this highly specified supercar. Finest grade, Jonathan Connolly leather, manufactured exclusively for the KZ1, covers the interior, contrasting with brushed aluminium, while the specially constructed carbon fibre Sparco sports seats are designed for optimum drive control.
KZ1 standard equipment includes climate-controlled air-conditioning, a top of the range CD player, remote central locking and a Thatcham Cat1 alarm and immobiliser, plus NavTrak security tracking. |
