Ascari A10 is currently on the 2nd position of the top gear power board, just after Gumpert Appolo Sport and followed by that same Koeniggsegg. How did that happen? The biggest reason for this is that Ascari is made only for track racing. There are no extra gadgets in the car and no luxury features included at all. The car was designed to be super light on the track and maintain it's grip in the corners.<br /><br />Here are some specs with a few pictures:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XSxSIKSbbWM/SxGyVGKq9XI/AAAAAAAAABk/XZ9T1f8wYfA/s1600/top-gear-ascari-a10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XSxSIKSbbWM/SxGyVGKq9XI/AAAAAAAAABk/XZ9T1f8wYfA/s400/top-gear-ascari-a10.jpg" /></a><br /></div><br /><br /><br />The maximum speed is around 220 mph/ 354 km/h.<br /><br />0-60 mph in 2.8 sec<br /><br />5L V8 Engine, 625HP BMW M5 4941 cc <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />And here's the interior:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XSxSIKSbbWM/SxGzEhR1R4I/AAAAAAAAABs/Uc-ENzDKVnQ/s1600/Ascari-KZ1-interior.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XSxSIKSbbWM/SxGzEhR1R4I/AAAAAAAAABs/Uc-ENzDKVnQ/s320/Ascari-KZ1-interior.jpg" /></a><br /></div><br />This interior is actually from <b>Ascari KZ1</b> but there is no difference in interior between both cars, just the specs.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img height="24" hidden="true" id="myFxSearchImg" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABgAAAAYCAYAAADgdz34AAADsElEQVR4nK2VTW9VVRSGn33OPgWpYLARbKWhQlCHTogoSkjEkQwclEQcNJEwlfgD/AM6NBo1xjhx5LyJ0cYEDHGkJqhtBGKUpm3SFii3vb2956wPB/t+9raEgSs52fuus89613rftdcNH8/c9q9++oe/Vzb5P+3McyNcfm2CcPj9af9w6gwjTwzvethx3Bx3x8xwd1wNM8dMcTNUHTfFLPnX6nVmZpeIYwf3cWD/PhbrvlPkblAzVFurKS6GmmGqqComaS+qmBoTI0Ncu3mXuGvWnrJ+ZSxweDgnkHf8ndVTdbiT3M7cQp2Z31dRTecHAfqydp4ejhwazh6Zezfnu98E1WIQwB3crEuJ2Y45PBTAQUVR9X4At66AppoEVO1Q8sgAOKJJjw6Am6OquDmvHskZ3R87gW+vlHz98zpmiqphkkRVbQtsfPTOC30lJKFbFTgp83bWh7Zx/uX1B6w3hI3NkkZTqEpBRDBRzG2AQHcwcYwEkOGkTERREbLQ/8HxJwuW7zdYrzfZ2iopy4qqEspKaDYravVm33k1R91Q69FA1VBRzFIVvXbx5AgXT44A8MWP81yfu0utIR2aVK3vfCnGrcUNxp8a7gKYKiLCvY2SUvo/aNtnM3e49ucK9S3p0aDdaT0UAVsKi2tVi6IWwNL9JvdqTdihaz79/l+u/rHMxmaJVMLkS2OoKKLWacdeE3IsSxctc2D5Qcl6vUlVVgNt+fkPPcFFmTw1xruvT7SCd7nuVhDQvECzJH90h0azRKoKFRkAmP5lKTWAGRdefoZL554FQNUxB92WvYeA5UN4PtSqwB2phKqsqMpBgAunRhFR3j49zuU3jnX8k6fHEQKXzh1jbmGDuYU6s4t1rt6socUeLLZHhYO2AHSHmzt19ihTZ48O8Hzl/AmunD/BjTvrvPfNX3hWsNpwJCvwYm+ngug4UilSCSq6k8YPtxDwfA+WRawIWFbgscDiULcCEaWqBFOlrLazurupOSHLqGnEKJAY8TwBEHumqUirAjNm52vEPPRV4p01XXMPAQhUBjcWm9QZwijwokgAeYHlHYA06KR1cT6ZvoV56pDUJQEjw0KeaMgj1hPEY4vz2A4eW0/e1qA7KtQdsxTYAG0H3iG4xyK1Y+xm7XmEPOJZDiENzLi2WZHngeOjj2Pe+sMg4GRYyLAsx7ME4FnsyTD9pr0PEc8zPGRAwKXBkYOPEd96cZRvf11g9MDe7e3R4Z4Q+vyEnn3P4t0XzK/W+ODN5/kPfRLewAJVEQ0AAAAASUVORK5CYII%3D" style="border: medium none; display: none; opacity: 0.6; position: absolute; z-index: 2147483647;" width="24" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4836870761951109468-5720508931277228741?l=top-gear-ascari.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Spanichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05922935934760755925noreply@blogger.com0
