Many of you likely remember the Innotech Corvette C6 that was unveiled back in 2008. For those of you who do not remember, let us refresh your memory a little bit: it was designed with cues from the Ferrari 599 and delivers anywhere from 600 to 1000 horsepower, depending on the customer's wishes.
Now the same Czech company has announced plans to unveil its new Aspiron supercar in just a few days at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed->ke3879.
The model was built on a space-frame chassis and will be offered with a series of GM->ke1024-sourced, V-8 engines. The base engine delivers 500 horsepower and the most powerful one pushes out a total of 1,000 horsepower. Combine that with a total weight of just 1,680 pounds and you get amazing performance figures. In all models, the engine's power will be sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox from Ricardo and a limited-slip differential from Ford->ke31.
Along with the powerful V-8 engines, the Aspiron will use lots of carbon fiber in its construction, including the body, the cockpit and the seats. The supercar will also be equipped with a six-point racing harnesses and a touchscreen-operated data logger that will provide the driver with all the necessary details, like engine condition and lap times.
The base 500-horsepower version will be priced at $149,000.
