A Rare Ascari KZ1R. spotted in Saint-Tropez.
The KZ1R, Ascari’s is thoroughbred for the track, made 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 litre BMW based V8 engine delivers 520bhp and can reach a top speed of 200mph and goes from 0-60mph 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 £225,000 depending on exact customer specification. Stylish, edgy and sleekly aerodynamic the KZ1R has a super-light, super-strong carbon fibre monocoque chassis and body shell weighing just 1,250kg. 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 .Simple mathematics show that the Ascari 10 times more exclusive than the Alfa 8C, but 2.5 times less exclusive than the Lamborghini Reventón.
