Ascari Unveils Exciting KZ-1 Supercar!
by Alex Michalas
 Yes you guessed right - Ascari is yet another low volume British manufacturer.
Its latest project is the KZ-1 - a supercar that is more than able to mix it with the best from Ferrari and Porsche in the 200mph league!
The KZ-1 is powered by BMW M5's 5.0 lt V8 engine that is tuned to produce
520 hp and 550 Nm of torque. The V8 is enough to propel the car to 60mph in a staggering 3.7 seconds due to the really low weight of the car (only 1100kg). Ascari's latest creation is set to hit the road towards the end of 2001 at a projected price of
130,000 pounds ($190,000). Ascari plans to produce as many as 300 KZ-1's per year. We think it should not have any problem finding owners for them!
