2008 IFR Automotive Aspid

First model from the Spanish automative design and technology company IFR Automotive. The Aspid is a featherweight luxury sportscar powered by a 400bhp supercharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine. Combined with a curb weight of just 1,543 lbs., the Aspid can reportedly reach 62 mph in an astonishing 2.8 seconds. 
It is also the only car in the world to meet both FIA safety requirements and European homologation standards. This means it already has the strength within its main body structure to avoid the need for an additional roll cage. It can be driven from the road directly onto the race track without the need for any special preparation. And after a hard race the car is robust, durable and safe enough to be driven again on public roads.
