The Aspid is quicker than each and every car you have mentioned to 100km/h and its a luxury car you can drive to the shops. Try that in a Reynard!

IFR sells automotive technology concerning performance using light weight materials – the Aspid was built to showcase that technology so that customers could see the affects in real world driving. The problem is, the car is so perfect, that they now have a full order book.

Oh, one more thing, the ride is nice and compliant, despite being quicker than a current WRC car, driven by a five time world rally champion.

Enough said.

Both the Ultima 720 and the new Inverter Reynard will destroy this.

Great effort though, and WHAT Elfin should be building [Not doing a 1/2 baked job]

How much coin?

Oh, the performance is WOW

Does the roof come off?

Looks a bit “home-made” look to it….Needs Italian finishing school

Talking it “up” i see!

Was 300kW now 402BHP!

We already have similar Made in Australia and RACE-PROVEN winner here in Oz, used the same haonda engine, now progressed to the superior compact and super powerful 10,000RPM V8 made in Uk

Stand up and be counted SKELTA, aussie-aussie-aussie oihoihoih!

Woops, the RST V8 revs to 12,500RPM!!! NOT 10,000RPM as stated above.

Did i mention road registered Skelta is 100kg LIGHTER than the Aspid?VASTLY superior to the Aspid

GO Skelta, “Go ahead Aspid, make my day” [tm. c.eastwood]

I remember my F-SAE days, we can get 4 second 0-100 with 2 stroke bike engines….

the chassis is nice, didnt mention if they used any carbon fiber tubes.

The suspension design sounds intriguing…. however.
Suspension design is always interesting that many possible ways to create them… material type, part quantity all differs obviously…

give a group of university student a budget of $200K AUD and they can somehow produce a close resemblance of this car… and maybe 2 years worth of “research”.. research as in pretty much benchmark carts and F1 car dynamics… (there are books on race car designs btw).

as someone stated its a way to display “engineering” capabilities… but engineering to impress is very different from engineering for production…

very different.

engineering in the last 20 years has been focused on creating value out of materials to make profit via market…

im pretty sure give a bunch of automotive engineers time off from their daily jobs… maybe 2 years… give them a bunch of cash and tell them to design a vehicle to impress…. they will come up with a good concept…

Out of my price range though

Some awesome gear to follow

I was hoping for a bit less, like $150k. But I guess all that money is for the new R&D section.
