Muscle car atrophy

As James May, one of the famous Top Gear Presenters once said, “The recipe for making [muscle cars] is very simple. Massive engine, crude, simple suspension, very low price and finally some orange paint.”

By this formula, building good, solid muscle cars should be a breeze. Car makers don’t have to worry about putting new technologies like satellite navigation, or G-force readers in a muscle car because muscle cars are supposed to be simple. 

In fact all a muscle car really has to do is make a lot of noise, and go quickly in a straight line.

So what happened?

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.

Every once in a while, a car company releases a car so beautiful, that it causes the world to stop and stare while thinking "Yes. Now that is a B-A-U-tiful car."

Normally these cars are released by the Ferrari's and the Aston Martin's of the world, but this time it's Mazda who is making waves.
