Aspid is a technically-advanced luxury sports car from IFR Automotive, making its world debut at the British International Motor Show.
IFR’s luxury two-seater is the result of an uncompromised five-year development programme and will feature a 2-litre engine either naturally aspirated to deliver 270bhp or supercharged to 400bhp. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a manual 6-speed gearbox and limited-slip differential.
The lightweight aluminum and carbon structure of the car, which has a mass of just 700kg (1,550lb) and the resulting 570bhp-per-tonne (1.75kg/bhp) power-to-weight ratio gives awe-inspiring acceleration on the track, with the car reaching 62mph (100km/h) in 2.8 seconds and 100mph (160km/h) in 5.9 seconds.

Toyota has upgraded the Verso SR with more premium features without compromising its wallet-friendly character.
Front parking sensors have been added as standard, in addition to those at the rear. And to make manoeuvring into tight spaces even easier, there is now a proximity indicator on the dashboard, giving a clear display of how close the car is to any other vehicle or obstacle.
Verso SR is on sale now, available with the 1.8 VVT-i and 2.2 D-4D 140 engines, with six-speed manual transmission at £17,545 and £18,620 while the 1.8 petrol is available with optional MultiMode (M/M) semi-automatic transmission for £18,045. |
