The Arash AF8 is a British-built sports car that is speedy and lightweight. The AF8 is only the second car to carry the Arash name, following the AF10 that was developed as a show car only. However, Arash actually plans to build and sell a limited number of AF8 models.
The AF8 can hit up to 550 horsepower at 6,500 revolutions per minute. It can hit 60 mph in only 3.5 seconds, and has a top speed of 200 mph. The engine 'inhales' using a carbon intake system, while a titanium exhaust system releases things at the other end. A six-speed manual transmission gives the driver full control over gear selection.
The interior of the Arash AF8 makes use of lots of modern technology including a touchscreen infotainment system and heated windshield.
