IFR Automotive Aspid
The Aspid is a two seat sports car created by IFR Automotive, a small British manufacturer founded by Spanish engineer Ignacio Fernandez Rodriquez.
The IFR Automotive Aspid is a lightweight, lotus 7-esque sports car built from aluminium and composite materials. This feather weight construction means the car tips the scales at just 700 kgs (1550 lbs).
Powering the Aspid is a 2.0 litre four-cylinder engine. This unit is available in either naturally aspirated or supercharged versions, developing 270 hp and 400 hp respectively. The transmission is handled by a 6 speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels.
Equipped with the supercharged engine, the Aspid is capable of hitting 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds, going on to a regulated top speed of 155 mph.
