There were talks and discussions about the Arash AF-10 nearly three years ago when an early prototype was displayed at the 2006 London Motor Show.

Since its concept has been realized the company has seen turmoil in its management which delayed the launch of the final product. It has now been confirmed that the final design of this super car has been set for production.

The Arash AF-10 is designed to be an affordable supercar which shares its resemblance to the Ferrari Enzo. The AF-10 is expected to be priced at $534,000. The company plans to offer tough competition to other small scale supercar manufacturers like Pagani and Koenigsegg. Arash also plans to compete against main stream competitors like Ferrari and Lamborghini.

The engineers have crafted the AF- 10’s body with carbon fiber including its chassis to keep a check at its weight. It has been confirmed that this super car will not weigh more than 2,645 pounds which is 353 pounds less than the Ferrari Enzo and 1,102 pounds less than Mercedes Benz SLR Mc Laren.

This new edition will be powered by Corvette’s Z06 sourced LS7 7.0 liter V8 engine which will pump out 550hp and 465 pounds feet of torque. It will be teamed to the rear wheels via a six speed manual Grazino gearbox.

Arash plans to introduce the AF10-S model in the near future. This high performance car will be engineered to generate 800 horsepower and 553 pounds feet of torque. They have plans to further introduce a super car which would generate 1,001 hp and 700 pounds feet of torque.

The company plans to build just 70 such cars in the next five years. If the companies plans fall in line and on time they propose to introduce a cheaper edition called the AF8 which would definitely be less powerful than the AF-10.

All super car enthusiasts can eagerly wait for the launch of the AF 10 as it is definite that their patience will be highly rewarded.
