Ascari KZ1R Makes First Track Appearance |
| Source: Ascari | Published: February 4, 2005 |
The KZ1R, Ascari’s new thoroughbred for the track, makes its first appearance in
Holland at Auto Rai.
The KZ1R is the track-tuned version of the KZ1, the race-bred supercar for the
road, of which only 50 will ever be created.
Its powerful 5.0 liter BMW based V8 engine delivers 520 bhp and can reach a top
speed of 200 mph and goes from 0-60
mph in an adrenalin pumping 3.4 seconds.
Hand-built to order at the state-of-the-art Ascari design and production
facility in Banbury, the KZ1R costs around $420,000 depending on exact customer
specification. Stylish, edgy and sleekly aerodynamic the KZ1R has a super-light,
super-strong carbon-fiber monocoque chassis and body shell weighing just
1,250 kg. A front splitter and fixed rear wing add the finishing touches that
turn this supercar into a track superstar. The interior is stripped to the bare
bones to reduce weight even further and accommodate the integral roll cage. This
is a car designed to take pole position on even the most challenging racetrack
and is one to look out for in 2005.
