The Aspira F620

Take a look at this here supercar. It is called the Aspira F620.

The car is made by a small British company called Aspira. If you're looking for a comparison you could say they are a bit like Noble although Noble has already solidified a solid reputation.

Aspira is basically a small supercar producing company and their latest invention, pictured above, certainly looks the part. 

The design is sort of a cross between a Zonda and a Koenigsegg, two of the best looking supercars on the market today. So far so good.

As for what makes the car go, it has a 6.2 L V8 engine which produces 530 bhp, but here's the thing. The car weighs only 1200 kg, so it can go from 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and on to a top speed of 200 mph (322 kmph). Those are definitely supercar speeds.

The chassis is made of aluminium and the base model has 6-speed manual gear box, but that can be upgraded to a 7-speed sequential gear box or a 7-speed paddelshifter.

And it comes with quite a bit for the driver. All Aspiras are fully customizable and some of the equipment the F620 comes with includes a radio/mp3, keyless ignition, AC and a camera with a screen for when you're reversing.

The only problem is that they are quite rare. In fact pistonheads.com says that only 10 are made per year. 

Also it will cost about 220,920 american dollars.
