New supercar for British show

Spanish firm IFR Automotive will unveil their brand new supercar at the London Show.

Called the Aspid, named after a small but fast Spanish snake, the two-seater is aimed at those who want to drive on the road and track.

Its lightweight construction and powerful 2.0-litre engines give the Aspid a power to weight ratio that is better than most established supercars.

The 2.0-litre engine will come as standard with 270bhp, but can also be ordered with a supercharger to boost power to 400bhp.

IFR Automotive says the Aspid will cover 0-60mph in just 3.0 seconds and have a top speed limited to 155mph.

Built in Reus in northern Spain, the Aspid will be on sale in the summer of 2009 with prices expected to start at £75,000 for the basic model.
